Gorgeous home a short stroll to the beach with private hot tub and assoc pool!

PLEASE READ THRU AND NOTE POOL RULES AND RESTRICTIONS!!
MAIN HOUSE (3 bedroom, 3.5 bath) and DETACHED COACH HOUSE (just steps from main house in gated courtyard) We are located just 8/10ths of one mile to the Townline Beach access (10-15 minute walk) and a very short drive to all that Harbor Country has to offer! Main house presents 3 bedrooms, ALL with ensuite baths to maximize your privacy and comfort. Each bedroom features luxury Saatva mattresses and all have smart TV's. The gourmet kitchen is open to the great room and features 2 gorgeous fireplaces, a custom copper island, a professional 6 burner gas range and 2 full dishwashers. Also in the great room is a dining table for 6 and a bar area with an additional stemware dishwasher, a wine cooler and an ice machine. A super cozy den is off of the great room an includes a sofa sleeper, 2 leather club chairs and a smart tv. The screened in porch offers an additional stunning fireplace, a dining table for 8 and two sofas. Your party will love the detached coach house that offers 2 additional bedrooms..1 upstairs and one downstairs. Each of these has the same ensuite baths, luxury mattresses and tvs. There is a sleeper sofa in the living area of the guest house. A refrigerator and coffee maker add to the convenience. Our true favorite of this house, however, is the captivating courtyard between the houses. A master gardener thoughtfully planned the lush landscape.There is yet another stone fireplace, designer outdoor furniture, and a custom stone hot tub highlighted by a waterfall feature. This is also a "smart home" with surround sound indoors and out so make sure to bring your playlists! We hope that you will enjoy this home and area as much as we do!! PLEASE NOTE.. PARKING is limited to 6 carson the driveway. PRIVATE HOT TUB is OPEN YEAR ROUND however we do winterize the waterfall feature from Nov-April. PLEASE READ!!! LIMITED ASSOCIATION POOL USAGE. Renter/Guests (10 max) can use the pool Sunday evening from 5pm until dusk. Also on Mon-Thursday 9am -dusk and Friday 9am-2pm. POOL is off-limits Fridays after 2pm-Sunday at 5pm. The pool is located steps from the house. The association pool is shared by only 8 other houses. If any pool rule is broken, you may be asked to vacate the house immediately. Holidays are also off limits to renters. Please feel free to email us for any clarification!! We ARE NOT A PARTY HOUSE. We are all for a great time with controlled chaos but we take great care of our home and furnishings and only want and accept guests that will do the same. Guests who have left the house in unacceptable condition will have $150 per extra cleaning hour charged against their damage deposit.

A Definite YES!!
Yes and Yes! Yes, we loved this beautiful, well-appointed home for its comfort, cleanliness and darling neighborhood! Our incredible hosts, Amy and Jeff, were responsive and communicated incredibly well. They even had 2 bikes for us to use for the short ride to beach. We were 10 adults which included a 21 year old who slept on the sleeper sofa in the guest house and said it was comfy and slept til noon! Yes, we'd love to stay here again! We just need to stay longer next time!!

Just a stone’s throw from heaven!
Put plainly, this home is the perfect spot for an adult get away. Every bedroom has a full bath, the hot tub is spectacular, and you could not ask for more comfortable accommodations. This is my 5th stay at this warm and spacious home - and we hope to return again next spring!

Fantastic Stay at Stones Throw!
We had a wonderful time at Stone’s Throw!! The home is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The property and design are elegant and comfortable, and it’s just well thought out and cozy too. (We were up for a girls weekend, and as an added bonus, we especially loved that there were bathrooms with every room!). It was perfect! Would absolutely stay again!!

Beautiful Fall getaway
This is our second time back to the property and just love it. It’s on a quiet tree lined street and the Fall colors were amazing. The property is so elegant and love the cozy feel of a home - beautifully decorated and the beds are so comfortable. Amy, the host, is the best of the best and so communicative. Some of my favorites at the house - screened in porch with fireplace, the kitchen (fully stocked), front porch swing, the beds, and the backyard. Truly a remarkable property and a fantastic location. We will be back!!

Amazing property - clean and great location!
This house was perfect for a girls weekend! It has all of the amenities we needed (and more) - a large kitchen, screened in room with comfy furniture, a hot tub, and plenty of seating around the fireplace in the backyard. The guest house was great as we all had a comfortable bedroom to sleep in. You can tell the owners treat this home as their own. The host, Amy, was very responsive and checked in with me before, during, and after the trip. I highly recommend - we could not have asked for a better house for a girls weekend and look forward to coming back!

Wonderful stay
My family and I couldn’t have been more pleased with this property. It brought us all together but still allowed for our individual space. The kitchen was an exceptional gathering area where we all congregated during meal prep. The sound system offered us the ambiance necessary for the occasion. The grounds were literally ‘heavenly’. You can hear the train infrequently which only added to the unique experience.

Fantastic home for family beach vacation
Large comfortable home with spacious and well stocked high-end kitchen along with nice grill made for great family dinners. The beach is a short walk, the pool is nice, the landscaping all around it keeps the heat away, and the hot tub is relaxing. All the furniture and bedding are high quality and comfortable, and each bedroom with their own (very nice) bathrooms are appreciated by all generations. Amy is a great host. We hope to stay here again.

Perfect weekend getaway
Stunning property true to description and extremely clean. The house (and guest house) has such beautiful detail and design. Perfect layout to gather in multiple areas inside and out. Great location for the beach, wineries, breweries, and restaurants. We felt truly relaxed, comfortable, and at home. The hot tub and porch swing are a must! Amy was by far the best homeowner we have worked with. Great communication and very gracious. We will be back for a much longer stay!

Fantastic
I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book this property again. It worked out fantastic for our extended family including 4 kids under 11. Owners were incredibly responsive and accommodating. The courtyard would be amazing in the summer but also worked out well in winter with a hot tub and fire place on a snowy night. Easy 5+ stars.

The only thing that could've been nicer during our stay at this beautiful home was the weather! Despite that, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this warm and comfortable home.

Perfect fall getaway!
Thank you, Amy, for such a wonderful weekend away! We really enjoyed the long fall weekend at Stones Throw. Just a quick trip from Chicago, the house is perfectly located within walking distance to both the beach and restaurants/coffee. While we had absolutely perfect weather all weekend, we really enjoyed our evenings at home in front of one of the many fireplaces and on the screened porch. The house was clean, cozy and perfectly appointed with all the amenities to make for a weekend away from home. Thank You!!

Fabulous house!
What a wonderful week we just had! This was our eighth year renting a home in the New Buffalo- Union Pier area and this house, by far, has been the nicest. From the get go, dealing with Amy was just plain fun! She made the rental process easy and all in all, was the most enjoyable experience we’ve had. I can’t say enough about the house and it’s decor - it looks like something you’d find in “House Beautiful”

Fabulous birthday celebration
This was the perfect house for my milestone birthday celebration with friends! It was designed for entertaining - from the kitchen, the bar, surround sound, to the outdoor patio and hot tub! Everyone enjoyed having their own bathrooms en-suite as well. We had a private chef come in and had dinner in the enclosed patio that was amazing! And the location is great too - walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Thank you Amy for being such a wonderful host! We will definitely be back!
