Our Annual Girl Cousins Get Together

This is our 2nd year to stay at Stones Throw. It is a perfect size for 5 adults. Everything is very nice. The kitchen has everything you need. Our favorite room is the 3 season room. That’s where we spent all our time in. I am booking again for next year.

I decided to take my adult children on a mini vacation for some family bonding time. This was the perfect place, we loved everything about this house. It was perfect, very accommodating and so close to everything. The owner's recommendations were spot on. We enjoyed time at the beach during the day and game time and movies at night. Do yourself a favor and stay here for getaway.

Great place in New Buffalo!

We really enjoyed our stay! Great location in a quiet neighborhood, with lots of space. We loved the sunroom. The yard was big, though the weather didn't really allow us to use the outdoor spaces. House is located close to the beach and downtown. Great place!

We Didn’t Want to Leave

Sheilah’s place was perfect!! From the moment we stepped in the house, it smelled like a brand new home and was the cleanest place we ever stayed. She had everything you could possibly need & so many extras that we enjoyed. We had some family ping pong matches, played “Clue “, and would have used the fire pit if it hadn’t rained. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch! The private beach was also so special!! We’d definitely stay again!
