Vintage, restored home w/ pool, hot tub & courtyard-just blocks to town & beach

Fall/Winter special: Reserve 2 nights get 3rd night free. Heated pool opens May 15!

Welcome to Harbor country.
Our area is home to the magnificent Lake Michigan coastal towns, fantastic restaurants, national parks, breweries and wineries.
This sprawling five bedroom, 2-1/2 bathroom, colonial home built in 1887 is the perfect place for you and your family or group of friends.
Enter this vintage home from either of the two front porches, both are ideal for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, and you will be amazed at what you see.
The first floor includes a large king bedroom with smart tv and cedar closet. Next is our full bathroom with tub/shower. Our dining room has seating for 6 and next to it is our cozy living room that has comfortable seating, a smart tv with cable and a view to our courtyard and pool. Next there is a large gourmet kitchen that includes an island with seating for 6 and a breakfast nook that can accommodate 7. This luxury, state-of-the art, spacious kitchen is truly a show piece and a great place to gather. A truly gourmet kitchen with top notch appliances lots of cabinets and counter space. Virtually everything you need has been thought of. Also, a fantastic server/bar cart and a Samsung, The Frame 55" tv with cable. Just off the kitchen is a large laundry room and powder room.

On the second floor you will find 4 bedrooms and bathroom. The first bedroom is beyond large and includes 3 twin beds, one king bed, a full sleeper sofa and smart tv, popular place for kids to hang out in. Second bedroom has a king bed and includes a desk and large closet, third bedroom is a queen and the last bedroom has two twin beds. The bathroom includes a tiled, walk-in shower which is next to a large linen closet filled with towels.
Our courtyard is truly a centerpiece for all you need. Dive into our 15x32 saltwater heated pool with tanning shelf, enjoy our 8-10 person jacuzzi. You also might want to relax by the fire-pit in one of our 8 Adirondack chairs with a glass of a local wine or micro-brew. There is also plenty of space for outdoor games both inside the yard as well in our oversized side lot.
This open concept house plan allows for plenty of room for the kids to be entertained while you sit back, relax and enjoy Pure Michigan.
This location is ideal in so many ways- we are just a couple blocks to Brewster's Italian or waterside fine dining at Bentwood Tavern or The Terrace Room. From our home you'll enjoy the very short walk to downtown New Buffalo and the beach.

Also we are just an hour away from Chicago by car or Amtrak, you'll soon be steps away to all the conveniences of Harbor Country. Hop on a shuttle to Four Winds Casino, or a short drive to Blue Chip Casino and the Outlet Mall. A great place to take walks to town or the beach as well as bike riding. Tour the wineries and micro-breweries and so much more. Whether you are planning an all-adult trip or a family getaway this home sleeps 14 comfortably and is the perfect compliment to any of your planned activities.

For your information the local ordinance has quiet hours at 10pm and we ask that our guests respect that as we live on a quiet residential block. For that reason we do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties.

Also we have added an exterior camera to monitor the exterior of our home for liability reasons for our insurance. It is located at the side of driveway. There are absolutely no cameras located inside the house or facing the pool.

Pool will be closed mid Sept till mid May - hot tub is open year round.


There is a house guide in a binder at the property with all the information you will need.


Also, City of New Buffalo passed an ordinance, effective 6/14/21, that limits parking to 4 cars maximum, limits number of guests to 14, enforces the noise ordinance and requires a Reservation Summary. That form requests the full name and date of birth for the main contact, full name and age of each guest, and make, model and license plate number (including State) for each car that will be on the property. That form needs to be in the city’s hand no less than 24 hours before reservation. That form will be sent to you in a fillable format but if you would rather send me the information, I can fill it out for you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Beautiful home in New Buffalo

We were looking for a location that met our budget, no bunk beds, had a hot tub and was within walking distance to downtown New Buffalo. This property checked all the boxes and then some. The kitchen is enormous and wellstocked with everything you would need to cook and entertain. The hot tub is huge. We all enjoyed our stay very much here. Perfect for a girls weekend or large family gathering.

Great Stay!

The house was amazing! Great location, you can walk to town and the beach! The pool is absolutely perfect and made the stay a five star experience! Main level is very open and everyone had a space to hangout! If you are looking for a space to watch a movie with everyone, the living rooms is a bit small. We didn't mind, as we used the kitchen space to play games, but if you need a large living room this house may not work. Mary definitely saved us with this house as we booked very last minute as our original host cancelled on us days before our trip! It was a blessing in disguise as this house was amazing!

Fun NYE

House was great for 6 adults and 5 kids for NY getaway. The kids loved the big room upstairs and the hot tub. The kitchen area is great and great location for walking to downtown area. Only kind of negative is living room in really snail (3 person couch & small chair, with a small TV). Would 100% stay here again especially in the summer. The outdoor area looks great with pool and huge paver area.

Perfect Getaway

The house was even better than pictured. We came to NB as a getaway with some friends for the weekend and bedroom situation worked out really well. Pool and hot tub were amazing! Great location to downtown spots and walking to the beach if you want to leave the house. Would love to come back next summer!

Wonderful home for our NB annual family vacation. Highlights are THE POOL & walkability to shops & restaurants, but the entire house is just perfect! Mary Lynn is the BEST host--always quick responses to questions, & great communication! Large bedroom with multiple beds was great hangout & sleeping space for grandkids. Plenty of beds/bedrooms for everyone else. And that kitchen is terrific! We'll be back!

Perfect house and pool

The house is way better in person than in pictures, and the pictures are awesome! The pool was perfect for our families to relax and enjoy our time away. The beach was a short walk and so was Oinks! Thoughtful touches like hand soap, lotion, dish soap, and laundry soap to name a few made our stay stress free. Oh and the beds…. Most VRBO’s I’ve stayed at before have not had the most comfortable beds. The beds here were perfect! Just book this house!
