Perfect Bachelorette weekend for my Daughter-in-law

My daughter-in-law, her mom, bridesmaids, and myself made an easy drive from Indy to enjoy a weekend in New Buffalo to celebrate the upcoming wedding. It was the perfect place for us to enjoy girl time. The home was right outside the quaint little beach town. We loved it and want to return for another girl's weekend!

Mini Reunion

House is exactly as pictured. Perfect place for a fall trip. Enjoyed being in a wooded area while all the colors are changing. Glad we knew about the well water in advance - very strong sulfur smell. But easy to work around that, brought plenty of bottled water. Great long weekend!

Great place for a nice quiet retreat

Nestled in a wooded environment in a quiet neighborhood. Beautiful screened in porch, large open living area, comfortable beds. Not a place to party but a nice place to hang out and enjoy family.

Just Off the Beaten Path - New Buffalo

This is a great house for a relaxing vacation. It is in a nicely wooded area but only 5 minutes from the heart of town and the beach. The screened in back porch is a great place to hang out with friends or family. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the front deck. We would definitely return here.

Perfect family quiet getaway

Loved this cozy spot tucked in the woods. Well decorated, and had everything we needed. Even toys in the kids room to keep our 2 year old happy! The hot tub was the perfect relaxation we needed when our little one went to sleep. We also spent a lot of time out on the screened in porch playing cards and saw deer several times! The beach was amazing, and definitely check out Beer Church Brewery for great pizza and beer.

Fabulous Family Retreat

Our family stayed and vacationed for the week. The hot tub, screened in porch, and the entire home provides a great gathering place for time together. Comfortable and private, yet very close to the beach and restaurants, along with Warren Woods for hiking. Our grandson was absolutely in awe over all of the superhero toys! The only negative was the sulfur smell of the water. There was filtered drinking water and ice in the refrigerator/freezer dispenser. We would definitely return to Off the Beaten Path!

Birthday Getaway

This was not the house we originally planned to rent, but we were absolutely thrilled to have ended up with this one! Loved the open floor plan and screened in porch. Hot tub was such a fun bonus. House was very well stocked with all the necessities. Lots of space to hang out and also lots of spaces to sleep. The decor includes little bits of positivity in every single room which was nice touch. Only regret is that we didn't get a chance to spend more time at the house!!

Cottage in the woods

The house was clean & in good condition except for a few minor items. The cushions on the screened in porch need to be replaced because they are spotted & dirty. It’s a few miles outside of New Buffalo, Mi. It’s hidden in the woods in a quiet setting.

Girlfriend’s Getaway

The house is charming. It is very well maintained. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of towels. We loved the screened in deck. The location was a short drive to great restaurants, the train station, and beach. Our only suggestion would be to provide better mattresses in the room with twin beds. They are perfect for children but not seniors. We had a great time!

Great for quiet family getaway

The property was clean and looked exactly as listed. The hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor games were great entertainment for our younger kids. It was conveniently located close to downtown New Buffalo, with a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and beach access. We had 4 adults and 2 kids in our group, and the property had amenities to suit everyone. I recommend making the drive to Captain Mike’s if you have little ones. It was one of our favorites during our trip!
