Girls Weekend
This was the perfect place for our girls weekend. The house is cozy and comfortable. The best part of this vacation home is the host. Communication with her is excellent, and she is so accommodating and kind. We loved how close to town we were yet still able to enjoy a relaxing and quiet neighborhood. We sat and watched 2 deer visit us each day. They seemed to be part of the neighborhood. We went to the beach and enjoyed the view of the water and then walked some trails at one of the nearby parks. Dinner at Ghost Isle Brewery was delicious! We ended the evening with a visit to Four Winds Casino. The only negatives were we didn’t get in the hot tub and we only had 2 days to stay. I would definitely recommend this home for your vacation.

Great Stay
Had a great stay in New Buffalo. We were lucky in October to still be able to enjoy the pool to cool off after frequent dips in the hot tub! Tons of space inside and outside for big groups. Excellent communication and flexibility with host. Walking distance to downtown and beach (though not sure would want to haul anything more than a towel and light weight chair on that walk). Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay Heather!

Would not book again
The house was very poorly maintained. The hot-tub smelled and the home smelled musty and didn’t feel entirely clean. All fans were noisy and clanky. The air conditioning didn’t really cool the home and the house felt muggy due to it not going under 78*. The dishwasher was not working but the owner did call beforehand to see about having it fixed while we were using the home; we declined. Good location for walking into town but would not rebook.

Pool was great!!
We booked this place for the outdoor space and it did not disappoint. Pool and hot tub were both clean and ready for our use. There are things about this property that could be cleaner. The siding up by the gutters of the house in the backyard were very dirty and unsettling to look and there are places inside the house that could use some maintenance for the price of this place but overall it was a nice stay and our group had a great time.

Inaccurate billing and non responsive host
My overall rating is primarily due to the inaccurate and what now appears to be fraudulent billing practices by the host and lack of response to my messages and concerns. I received an extra payment request beyond what was outlined in the agreement which was a clear error. I had changed the dates of the stay (well within the defined policy terms) but the total cost/payment schedule was never updated to reflect the fewer dates. The total requested amount was paid in full to secure the property for the trip, but upon asking the host to rectify this error she has not complied or responded to any messages which is concerning given the significant amount of the over-charge. Beyond this issue, during our stay we were unable to use the pool due to its condition which was disappointing given this was a primary reason for booking the property. It was full of algae and dirty and apparently there were problems with the filter. The host did respond during the stay to my complaints related to the pool and refunded a portion of the actual total cost due to inability to use. Overall, the house is large and the inside mirrors what is reflected in the photos, it's in a nice area walkable to town and has a large backyard which would have been great if the pool were usable. However, It broadly could use updates, repairs, and some deeper cleaning both inside and out. Overall- my experience would have been rated very differently if not for the problems with billing and responsiveness.

4th of July in New Buffalo!
House setup was great. Perfect location, not on the busy main drag but close. We rented a golf cart which was perfect for going to the beach and restaurants. Backyard was awesome, pool is huge. Only thing I could say is the outdoor house/chairs/patio furniture could use some heavy power washing/painting.

Michigan trip
Location is great. Easy to get around and a short drive/walk downtown and to the beach. The area around the house is nice and quiet. The house is an older home and could use a good deep clean and some TLC. Backyard set up is nice and has a lot of things to do for entertainment but same as the inside it could use some upgrades. Overall we had no issues with the house and it’s a great location with good amenities.

Fabulous property & great host
We loved the location, close to great places to eat. The property itself is secluded yet doesn’t feel isolated. The house layout is welcoming and the backyard is the star of the show. The host was always quick to respond and very accommodating. Some minor improvements (but not enough to reduce the star ratings): We played musical beds as it was hard to find one that’s completely comfortable. Could use an update. The pool area needs a little cleaning. The pool itslef is super clean. It’s the furniture and pool surroundings that can use a little dusting. Other than that, this place is definitely a repeat for our family. Thank you Heather for being a great host and offering this wonderful property!

Great location, lots of beds
This is great vacation property that houses a big group and has a great outdoor space. The host was kind. I suggest making some updates to enhance the experience, like a digital thermostat that would allow guests to arrive to a warm house in the winter, and a digital entry as the key was hard to work. The house also wasn't as well stocked as other VBROs in the area, but if you know that in advance it would be okay. Thank you for a fun weekend.
