Perched right in the vibrant downtown of New Buffalo on Whittaker Street, you will be in the heart of all of the action within walking distance of Lake Michigan, local restaurants, and shopping! Though this is a busier street here in town, inside you will find calm neutral colors, comfortable furnishings, and an open layout that will be ideal for entertaining the whole gang after full days of exploring the city. When everyone builds up an appetite, the fully equipped kitchen features a gas range, deep sink, and all of the utensils of home is more than ready to assist with whipping up tasty meals. Plus, the kitchen table is great for gathering with loved ones as the chef of the group shows off their skills. When the sun starts to dip towards the horizon, head out to the firepit and tell favorite stories as the stars come out or stream a favorite movie in the living room on the flatscreen TV! If you want a bit more privacy, the main bedroom will spoil you with a jetted tub and a large walk-in closet. Don't wait a minute longer, this is your perfect home-away-from-home!

Perfect location
This cute little house is located a half block from the main intersection and is a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and beach.

Great location, good for small family
Easy to walk to the heart of New Buffalo shopping and dining. Several newer features; still needs some updates to make it a great house.

First visit to New Buffalo
The house was in a great location. I really like the town. There was a bad thunderstorm while we were there and the power was out for about 6 hours at night. The property managers checked to make sure we were ok the next day. I would request that the home have at least one flashlight available for situations like this. The master bedroom and bathroom is really nice. The other two bedrooms aren’t ideal for adult guests because there are two twin beds crammed into each of the small rooms.

Great home for a visit to New Buffalo!
My family of five rented this home for a long weekend visit to New Buffalo. Location was great and we could walk downtown with ease. The master is very spacious and has a large bathroom. The home has everything you could need and it was all very clean. What i thought would be a complaint actually turned out well. The Televisions in the house don't have a subscription so it was just local news but that forced my kids to play boardgames and interact with each other which was great! This is the perfect home for a family of six or less and we would definitely stay again.

One problem
Stay was fine. However, on the first night the HVCA did not work. Fortunately, the temperature that night was in the 60's. Called the customer number that night and a crew repaired it the next morning. The temp dropped that night, so it was good that the repair was made.

New Buffalo Beach Stay
The location of this house was great, easy to find as its on the main road into town, and right across from a fantastic brewery/pizza restaurant and just blocks from the rest of the shops/restaurants in town. The master bedroom and bathroom were the highlight of this house, very clean and spacious. The other rooms were fairly small and living room not large enough to have a full size couch unfortunately - but this was known when booking. I’d say the biggest disappointment is that for a house in a beach town, it had no beach amenities - only 3 beach towels in a 6 person house, no beach chairs/umbrella/sand toys so we had to buy our own and ended up leaving behind for the next renter as we couldn’t take them on the plane home. Other than that, the home serves its purpose for our trip. It was clean and had enough space for our small family.

Nice home, good location
The home was great. Huge master bedroom! The brewery across the street was a lot of fun, and didn’t seem to add any noise at night. I would stay here again!

Charming home right in town!
The hydrangea house was such a pleasant stay! It was convenient to town. We parked our car once we got there and walked the whole week. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked well to make us feel right at home. This charming cozy house was a wonderful stay for a vacation. I would definitely recommend staying there.
