Juniper Presents: Lakefront Dream Home-HotTub, 2 Fab Decks+Firepit

Mile-wide Lake Michigan views and a great open floor plan make this 5BR/4BA lakefront home a vacation dream come true. A heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, balconies, decks and most rooms in the house all feature lakefront vistas that can’t be beat. Spend mornings, afternoons, and evenings outdoors on the deck enjoying the fresh air and sounds of waves gently lapping the shoreline. Bring your bikes and ride to New Buffalo’s shops & restaurants then warm up by the fire in the evenings. View-La-La!

THE SPACE
Enjoy 2 levels of thoughtfully designed space that provides plenty of room to gather, entertain, and relax. The upper level of Coastal Escape features a dramatic two-story great room with fireplace that seamlessly opens to the kitchen and dining area. These spaces have spectacular views and lead to a large screen porch and wrap around deck overlooking the lake. Treat yourself to some of the best views in Michigan by stepping out onto the upper lakefront deck with multiple seating areas, fire pit and a gas grill. The home’s primary suite is on this floor and has doors to the deck + features an ensuite bath. Also on this level is Bedroom two with a full bath across the hall and laundry.

Head down to the lower level where a walkout opens to the gorgeous lakefront heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, and a large deck with plenty of seating. Indoors, Bedroom three, Bedroom four, and Bedroom five all have lake views! There is also a second TV area, wet bar, and game/dining table for 4 with those same great views.

Located in quiet Sunset Shores Association, Coastal Escape is a beautifully maintained getaway just a bike ride away from New Buffalo's beach, shops, restaurants, and harbors.

Recently listed by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of America’s 50 Best Places to Travel, New Buffalo - just 70 miles from Chicago - is not just known for its pristine beaches, but also its wide range of outdoor activities, fine restaurants and art galleries, vintage and antique stores, stylish boutiques, distinguished wineries and local craft beer pubs. And the fact is, Harbor Haven is super-close to all of these! Plus, you’re less than a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor – which includes boat, jet-ski, kayak and other watercraft rentals, as well as fishing expeditions and day or evening cruises.

There are all sorts of nearby woodland, lake and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore, the most popular of which is Warren Dunes State Park, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, gorgeous beachfront and wetland trails, as well as its extraordinary birdwatching! You and your guests might relish visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment and tennis courts. And for even more variety, nearby Union Pier also has a number of other great restaurants, coffee shops and breakfast spots. Plus, being so centrally located, there are guided tours of local vineyards and award-winning breweries.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the view of lake from the deck never gets old! Home is well kept, plenty of rooms, beds and bathrooms to accommodate the 9 of us. We were able to enjoy local restaurants, wineries and attractions and come home to kick back, sip some cocktails and laugh the evening away! Thank you

Amazing Property!
Stayed here with a group of 19 girls for a bachelorette party (ages ranged from 24-40). The property was absolutely amazing! Looked just like the pictures, had everything we needed and for any question I had someone always answered the phone right away. Great customer service! Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area! Absolutely beautiful!

We loved staying at this property. It was the perfect fit for our family. The pool was the highlight of our stay and we had great response from property owners if we had questions. The property checked off all the boxes with location right on the lake, enough space for our family, great gathering options for breakfast and meals. Incredible views

Nice place to stay on Lake Michigan, but needs updates
This place is very nice if you want to stay on Lake Michigan. It does need some updates done and I feel could have been cleaned a little bit better. One hallway had all the ceiling bulbs burnt out and some of the other lights were burnt out as well throughout the house.

Wonderful home
The views are amazing. The floor plan and set up of the house were perfect for our group of 10 and would have been just as perfect if we had brought 4 more kids. The house amenities are showing some age but everything worked as advertised and the views...the views are so much better than the pictures suggest. I did have one email to the property manager go unanswered but she was very responsive to text messages once we arrived and she was very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely rent the property again!

Our favorite part of this house was the views of Lake Michigan! You can see the lake from almost anywhere in the house. We also loved the outdoor area- the pool and jacuzzi especially. Overall a great experience and a clean house.

Perfect House for large family stay
The house was immaculate and showed better than expected. The pool, hot tub, and decks were awesome, but, the view was the best part of everything. This was a perfect place for all ages and large enough for personal space if needed. We all voted and it was unanimous that we will be back. We honestly do not think we could find a better place for a large multi-family vacation.

Great lakefront property
This was a great home for our extended family group vacation. Everyone had the space they needed and we were able to enjoy all the amenities. It's easy to get to the shops and restaurants in town, but you are a little bit away so it's very peaceful and quiet. Communication with the host was easy and fast. And above all, the view is amazing!! Would definitely recommend this property!

Amazing house with an amazing view!!
The pictures of this place do it no justice; the views of Lake Michigan are absolutely incredible. The house is also perfect for a large group with plenty of places to sleep. The only problems that we encountered were there was only 1 propane tank full (2 grills), the hot tub was out of commission and the trash bins were already overflowing when we got there....so there was no where to put trash. The raccoons going into it one night and spread trash all over the yard. These are minor inconveniences and do not reflect the house or the trip in general. We had an amazing time and will definitely book this again in the future!

New Buffalo Lake House Needs attention
Overall the view is breathtaking couldn't have asked for more. AWSOME!! We rented it just for that. However, my overall thoughts are that the kitchen needs some attention. The stove top is electric and badly needs replaced/updated, 4 burners aren't enough for a crowd and it is in horrible condition. The double ovens are also worn and should be updated. The island counter needs replaced it has duck tape holding it together. The outside grills were dirty. The hot tub was broken and we were not informed until a few days before our arrival. The faucets in the bathrooms need attention/repaired. A handy man for a day or so is needed for the attention to details and fixing things that are in disrepair. Towel bars in MBR would be nice too not sure why they don't have them installed for the large groups that come. We stayed on Marquette 2 years ago and were on the east side and therefore didn't have a view of the lake. The house was pristine which I can't say the same about 1371502.

The best spot in New Buffalo
This house and the property are amazing. We had so many activities planned and ended up skipping half of them to stay at the house and soak up the sun and fun by the pool and hot tub. The house is perfect for large gatherings of friends with plenty of open, yet separate spaces to mingle. We'll definitely be back!
