Hot tub open all year! Private heated pool, sleeps 10 near downtown New Buffalo!

Follow the North Star to your private vacation oasis, complete with hot tub (open all year!), heated in-ground pool, large outdoor patio, fenced back yard and open floor plan with a cozy fireplace!

Located just minutes from downtown New Buffalo's beautiful beach, shops, restaurants and harbors, North Star is a kid-friendly, pet-friendly vacation destination. The open floor plan includes a dining area that comfortably seats 8 and opens to a large living area with plenty of seating for gathering around the fireplace or watching a movie together. Board games and books are tucked in the nearby cabinet for rainy days.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, glassware, utensils and cookware, including a large toaster oven, drip-style coffee pot, microwave and electric cooktop with oven. The gas grill is just outside on the patio. Please be sure to only use plastic dishware outside by the pool!

Primary bedroom is closest to the living room and offers a queen bed, lots of closet space and a sliding door with private entrance to the back patio. Bedrooms 2-4 are off the hallway to the left of the dining area. Bedroom 2 has one double bed and one twin bed. Bedroom 3 has a twin-over-twin bunk bed, and a twin-over full bunkbed, plus a second TV. Bedroom 4 has a view of the back yard and has a double bed.

The primary bathroom has a large tile shower. Hall bathroom has a tub/shower.

We provide all bed and bath linens, as well as towels for use by the pool. We also provide laundry soap, dishwasher pods, dish soap and hand soap at every sink. You'll find a roll of paper towel and at least one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Please plan to bring additional paper goods as needed for your group, as well as your own body/bath soaps and shampoo/conditioner items. Coffee filters are available, but please bring your favorite coffee to enjoy!

Washer and dryer can be found in the alcove off the living room, where there is also a second fridge/freezer for your drinks and treats, and easy access from the pool area.

Guests use pool and hot tub at their own risk. Children should never swim unsupervised. No diving. No running by the pool. Please pick up after your pets!

4th of July in New Buffalo!
House setup was great. Perfect location, not on the busy main drag but close. We rented a golf cart which was perfect for going to the beach and restaurants. Backyard was awesome, pool is huge. Only thing I could say is the outdoor house/chairs/patio furniture could use some heavy power washing/painting.

Super cute house
I stayed here with a group of friends, 6 of us total, and it was a great stay. The property was as described. The beds were comfortable. We had a great time. We only wish it was warmer to enjoy the pool but that's the Midwest for you lol.

Great location and beautiful yard!
The house was perfect! We had a girls spring break trip with our daughters and had the best time. Loved the hot tub, fire pit and all the space in the house. The location was perfect, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the lake. Wish it was nicer so we could have enjoyed more outside since the backyard at the house was amazing!!

Michigan trip
Location is great. Easy to get around and a short drive/walk downtown and to the beach. The area around the house is nice and quiet. The house is an older home and could use a good deep clean and some TLC. Backyard set up is nice and has a lot of things to do for entertainment but same as the inside it could use some upgrades. Overall we had no issues with the house and it’s a great location with good amenities.

Quick Family Trip to New Buffalo
The property was a vintage property that had been beautifully and thoughtfully renovated. The location is walkable to the beach. The pool is well maintained with many chairs for guests, poolside. The great room concept, living room, dining room, and kitchen blend together perfectly for the "Modern Family" to have a comfortable time together.

Great location, lots of beds
This is great vacation property that houses a big group and has a great outdoor space. The host was kind. I suggest making some updates to enhance the experience, like a digital thermostat that would allow guests to arrive to a warm house in the winter, and a digital entry as the key was hard to work. The house also wasn't as well stocked as other VBROs in the area, but if you know that in advance it would be okay. Thank you for a fun weekend.

4th Visit
Another fantastic visit to this property. Close to downtown, walkable to everything, and we love the area. House is clean and comfortable for my wife and I plus our dog. Plenty of restaurants in the area, we did a few winery tours, casino, and went to the outlet mall during our stay. We will be back.
