Just what was needed
Everything was great. Great location, walked to everything. Property was clean and most everything needed for the stay was provided. We had 2 adults, 2 16 yo & 3 11 yo and everyone was comfortable. No complaints, it was just what we needed, would definitely stay again. Thank you to Third Coast!

Girls Trip
3 of us booked the Lake Escape for a quick girls trip weekend. The house was super cute! The guest house was also adorable. We were a 5min walk from the Stray Dog. Pretty much walking distance to everything in the downtown area, and just a short drive to The Round Barn and Ghost Isle. We would definitely stay with Third Coast again!

Great location
As advertised. My kids drove in from Chicago and said they would stay again. Amtrak behind the house didn't bother us at all. You can definitely walk everywhere.

October weekend
Overall we rated this cottage with 4 stars. The location was great. It was well equipped for everything we wanted or needed. The high table and chairs in the kitchen were difficult to get in and out of. The main bathroom door constantly needing to be propped open was annoying. There is no way this property could ever get a 5 star rating being this close to the railroad tracks. The train going by so close was scary for our 1.5 year old grandson.

Family Getaway to New Buffalo
I was very impressed with this property. Some notable strengths include: the ease of communication with the property managers before check-in, the seamless nature of check-in, and the welcoming nature of the home upon entry. The house was clean, well-organized, and made for a sweet first day in New Buffalo. The house is close to nearly everything - a short walk away. I was thrilled to not have to hustle for parking when going to downtown New Buffalo on a busy weekend night. I loved the amenities within the home and the attention to detail. They had taken extra steps to ensure a comfortable stay. We enjoyed making meals at home and had nearly everything we could ask for stocked in the kitchen. There were plentiful cleaning tools in the home to sweep and vacuum sand/dirt tracked in from the beach. The outdoor area was stocked with sand toys for the nearby beach, and there was a hose for getting cleaned up afterward. We loved the swing and being able to sit outside in the nice weather. My dad (grandpa) loved the guest house and being "king of the castle" for a week. Some areas of opportunity include: taking a moment to clean little nooks and crannies (inside and under the sofa, under the bed), stocking a blender, and perhaps placing a white noise machine in each room to drown out loud train noise for sensitive sleepers. I felt like I was making myself right at home in the rental and plan to bring my entire family back next year!

Great stay in New Buffalo
Great spot for beach bumming and exploring near by areas. The four of us (41,42 5 & 3) stayed in the main house, while grandparents enjoyed the separate space. Not a lot of room, but if your sleeping, heading to the beach, showering, and heading back out. Is a great spot. Easy walk to almost all of the New Buffalo eateries, breweries and attractions. Right on the Amtrack line. Only heard 3 trains per day (Thursday-Sunday). Which worked out since our 3year old lives trains. Latest train comes by around 10:30. Never write the kids up. Supplied beach towels and consumables were greatly appreciated. There was a French press, Keurig, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, popcorn and welcome bag.
