Beautiful, Comfortable River Retreat surrounded by Trees

Memory Lane is nestled in nature and located on the Galien River where you’ll be just steps from fishing, kayaking and adventure. This 5bd, 3.5 bath home is only 5 miles from pristine Lake Michigan beaches, Harbor Country, Four Winds Casino and many wineries and breweries. With sleeping for 19, this 3 story home has 3 living rooms, each with its own fireplace, so everyone can relax and enjoy each other’s company-or not. Features include a spacious kitchen, fire pit, patio, outside play area, pool table and more. This is the perfect spot for a reunion of friends or family. Just a short drive to Lake Michigan's pristine beaches and those charming beach communities along Red Arrow Highway, this cozy home is sure to please everyone in your travel group. Visiting chefs will feel right at home in the fully equipped, spacious kitchen. It's perfect for storing last nights leftovers or brewing up your morning coffee or tea. Dine together in the large dining room with a table for 14 or sit, relax and put your feet up in one of the 3 living areas, each with its own impressive fireplace. Head outside where you can fish on the bank of the Galien River right from the back yard- just bring your poles, follow the steps down to the river and relax on the bench while you enjoy the nature. Or sit on the brick patio, surrounded by nature, and watch the river, while the kids play and enjoy the play area. You could also gather around the fire pit and make some s'mores. Memory Lane's slightly-off-the-beaten-path location lends a peaceful vibe while being steps away from all that Harbor Country has to offer. Just down the lane is Glassman Park, where you'll find that perfect low-key nature walk and many picnic areas to enjoy. In addition, the Galien River offers a kayak launch, as well as kayak and paddle board rentals. It's the perfect location for daily trips to Whistle Stop Grocery, Red Arrow Roadhouse, Union Pier Market, and Black Currant Bakehouse. It is a short drive to New Buffalo - home to Harbor Country's largest marina, a public beach and bustling downtown cafes and shops. Or just a hop, skip and jump away is St. Julians Tasting Room and many other wineries and breweries, making us the perfect location for a couples or girls getaway. Rainy day? There are plenty of board games and puzzles, a pool table, foosball table, ping pong and video games. There really is something for everyone...even a reading room if you want to chill and curl up with a good book.

Wonderful Property for Large Group or Gathering
My daughter got engaged in nearby New Buffalo and we held a surprise engagement party for them at the "Beautiful, Comfortable River Retreat surrounded by Trees." The name is an accurate description of the property and the space is amazing. The large common areas, board games (board games, pool, ping pong, foosball, video games!) kept people entertained and there was plenty of room for mingling. We ended up with more people than planned (about 45 guests showed up) but it was never too crowded and, as the night went on, people spilled out to the firepit area and had a wonderful time. The hosts were responsive and friendly and their instructions were very clear. I look forward to coming back and creating more great memories!

Perfect for Big Group!
We booked this property for a friends' gathering over the holidays and it was perfect for us! We had about 16 adults and it was a great space for us all to hang out, dine together, and play games. There are 3 levels to the house, more than enough room for everyone to feel comfortable and not cramped. There are games and entertainment options in the house but it is also in a great location near a bunch of wineries and parks for those who wanted to explore. The host was very nice, easy to reach and accommodating!

Prom group
We stayed at the house with a group of 18 high school seniors and a few chaperones. The house was just right for this kind of arrangement. The kids had a blast!

Pit Stop to Chicago
This was a sweet stop for our group headed to Chicago for a day at the museum. It was a quick on and off of the interstate with a great set up for big kids. The house was comfortable, clean and well maintained. It is cared for by the owner and it shows. We were greeted with pancakes and a personal note. The host is very nice and quick to respond to questions. Obviously a place designed for family fun. As it was winter when we visited and we were only there in the evening, we didn’t explore outside much. Inside was perfect. We would stay here again on our way to Chicago. Thanks for a great weekend at Memory Lane!!!

Great place for groups of friends and family!
There was so much room inside this property! Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and a space to get away if they needed to. The living areas were perfect as well and could fit all of us comfortably. I would recommend it to anyone with a large group!
