The house had ample space and made you feel at home. The backyard was wonderful with the hot tub, firepit, dining table and comfy outdoor furniture. It was an enjoyable walk into town and the neighborhood itself was enjoyable to take shorter walks. Brittany was quick to respond to any questions we had.Overall was an excellent stay!

Spring Break Getaway
Our family enjoyed spending some time off in New Buffalo. Brittany's home gave us this opportunity to enjoy New Buffalo and the surrounding area. It was nice to end our days by enjoying the hot tub or time by the fire. Brittany was an excellent host, responding to a few of our questions in a timely manner. We very much enjoyed our stay!!

Great Fall Getaway
We had a wonderful fall getaway with our elderly parents at this house! It was located near many restaurants and close to the town. The house was well equipped with spices, toiletry supplies, paper towels, trash bags and other essentials. Brittany was very easy to contact when we had a question and replied quickly. The house was adorable and the hot tub lovely. We would rent this house again in the future.

Perfect stay at a wonderful New Buffalo home!
We had a great weekend stay with friends! While we only needed two of the bedrooms, the third room with trundle twins would make it a great family stay as well and we will definitely rebook on our next visit to New Buffalo.
Brittany was a great host and extremely helpful and responsive. The home was darling and everything you could need was there...even down to extra toiletries. The back deck and hot tub area is very private and spacious too.
We loved our stay!
