Fun Family Getaway

My family and I enjoyed our weekend getaway! Brendon and Brystol did an outstanding job making us feel welcomed. The house was extremely clean and the two separate living rooms made it convenient for 1/2 of us watching the game and the other 1/2 a movie. I highly recommend this beautiful country house for your next vacation.

Wonderful property

Perfect spot for our family vacation! Clean and plenty of room for 5 adults and two kiddos. The outside grill and fire pit areas were so lovely to spend time in. And the kids loved the tree swing! The owners left s’mores supplies too, that was very thoughtful. We will definitely book this property again, and recommend it 100%. Especially for families.

Family Trip

Our stay was wonderful! Our family came to town and we wanted a space to accommodate all for a “home base”. I couldn’t have asked for better accommodations for us all. Our nieces were comfortable and had plenty of space to play! Us siblings enjoyed time around the fire and appreciated the extra touch of the snacklebox! We cooked many meals in the kitchen and grilled out too, everything is well stocked and taken care of. We will certainly book again, even if just for a staycation!

Great place!

We enjoyed every room in this house. There’s a nice small family room with a sun roof/ sky light. Living room was a nice hangout spot. Great patio and bonfire with supplies. The bugs were out having fun too, but thankful the host had bug repellent spray (huge plus). Towels were available, bathrooms were really nice, and kitchen had everything we need to make meals during our stay. Communicated a few things with the host and the individual responded within the appropriated time. Additional notes, the stairs that leads to the upstairs rooms were steep but we had “young legs” 🙂. Nothing can be done, that’s normally for these types of houses, but something you should know if you’re physically unable to climb the stairs. Enjoyed our overall stay with local beach and businesses. I would return back to this house if needed another stay in the area.

Spacious and fun

In spite of having a mostly rainy stay we enjoyed the farmhouse with its large property, fire pit, grill patio area and the kids favorite, the tree swing. The farmhouse was very pleasant, clean and well equipped. The New Buffalo beach is charming and very close (We did catch a sunny afternoon when we arrived!)

Perfect Weekend Getaway

CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH for a wonderful weekend in New Buffalo!!! Your beautiful property exceeded our expectations and was ideally located for all our activities. It was impeccably clean and comfortable, and we loved our unexpected “welcome treat!” The combination of farmhouse charm and contemporary updates and amenities included so many warm and inviting touches. The expansive outdoor area felt like our own nature preserve, and we especially enjoyed the lovely patio and fire table. All in all, it was a perfect getaway for our family gathering…THANKS AGAIN for your most gracious hospitality!!!

Fantastic!

The property was very close to town. Took 5 minutes or so to get to. Right next door to the casino. That being said it was still very quiet in the house. My husband enjoyed the set up outside with the fire pit. It was roomy but still cozy. We didn't cook there but very well stocked. VERY CLEAN! The only thing I might add is night lights in the bathroom so you don't have to turn on the lights in the middle of the night. Listening is accurate.

Great stay for multiple small families!

We are a family of 3 with a small child and stayed here with another family of 3 with a small child. It was a good amount of space for all of us to exist, sleep, and not feel like we were getting in each other's way. Everything was to our liking, particularly the outside area with the chairs and fire pit. We spent quite some time out there on a not-so-cold evening, just enjoying the view, making smores. It was great, and was tucked back enough to allow you to feel secluded without feeling isolated. Communication with the host was also good. We would stay here again!
