Summary:

The Pelton House



The Space:

Come stay with us at the Pelton House, a terrific five-bedroom, ivy-covered lakefront house with a great private beach overlooking Lake Michigan! This brick home in New Buffalo sleeps 14 comfortably and features all the comforts and amenities of a home. A staircase leads down to a wide beach with small grassy dunes from which to soak in the beauty of the lake. This family-friendly brick house is circa 1938 and has an old-world charm, but it also boasts all the modern amenities including central air conditioning, wireless high-speed internet, satellite television, a fully-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, and washer and dryer. A patio with a view of the lake features a barbecue grill, outdoor refrigerator, and two large wrought-iron dining tables–perfect for a family meal as the sun sets and the fireflies dance in the yard. If the children get tired of playing on the beach, they can shoot baskets on the basketball hoop at the side of the house. Those who prefer the shade can relax in the rocking chair and dive into the shelves of vintage books. The Pelton House is the ideal location for a relaxing summer vacation! Things to know: Please note that there's no cable, but there is Hulu Live and Netflix. This property is managed by VueStay Vacations. Michigan Real Estate license #6505433797.

Beautiful

Lovely old home literally on the beach. Right down the road from downtown. Only drawback is if you have a larger vehicle the parking can be a bit tricky. Would definitely stay again.

Pelton House was Great!

The view out the back windows was fantastic spanning a panoramic view of Lake Michigan. The kids loved the spacious back yard spending lots of time on the tire swing. The bedrooms were large and provided a comfortable sleep. Overall everyone was very pleased with the property

The perfect family beach house

The private beach here is as good as it gets in SW Michigan! The house is very comfortable for a large family, and the back garden overlooking the beach is ideal with its large elm trees, views to the horizon, and two large iron tables for group dining. 5* all the way!

View and location were wonderful. It was easy to get to the beach and to New Buffalo. The house is older, but worked for us. Our biggest complaint was the lack of window screens in house. It was beautiful at night, but fighting the mosquitos made it difficult to sleep.

Wonderful

We love the beach, basketball hoop, big table in the main room to eat meals, play cards, paint rocks etc. I only gave it 4 stars because this cottage is very old and you have to understand that renting it.
