You’ll enjoy the serene sounds of birds chirping while lounging on the screened-in porch or choose to unwind outside in the home’s latest amenity: a six-person hot tub.

Very cute and comfortable house for a fun weekend in New Buffalo! The house is in a quiet little group of houses and we met a very friendly neighbor who gave us great recommendations of things to do. Important to note that if you plan on using the proximity to town to walk, that there are no sidewalks until about halfway into town, so before then you are on the shoulder of a road that folks drive pretty fast on and that does not have street lights. Still a totally doable walk, just be sure to have your flashlights at the ready if you'll be returning after dark!

The house was cute, comfy and as described - full of the amenities you would expect. It was perfect for celebrating my wife's birthday with our family. The location is a very short drive to downtown New Buffalo and area activities. All in all, a nice peaceful place to gather with friends and family and enjoy their company without the distractions of daily life. Juniper was very accommodating, responsive and clearly wanted us to have a nice experience...which we did!

Thanks you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had 3 couples in town for a wedding and we had plenty of space. The amenities were fantastic. Everything we needed was there. If we wanted to walk downtown it was a 25 minute walk so we drove to most places. If we visit New Buffalo again we would stay here again. Thanks again!
