Such a fabulous stay! As much as I’d love to keep this gem of a listing a secret so it’s available when we visit New Buffalo again next summer, the property and its owner are deserving of a truly glowing review! This house was absolutely perfect for our small family’s stay this year in New Buffalo. Plenty of room for us, yet still cozy and comfortable. Beautifully appointed in both decor and function, but comfy enough to lounge around. And when I say the house was spotless upon our arrival, I mean it! Everything we needed was there, we truly didn’t need a thing during our stay (minus a dishwasher but that didn’t bother us for as much as we eat out and bring our own disposable plates). Beds were comfortable, beautifully soft bedding, fully appointed kitchen with every utensil you need to cook in if you’d like, chairs and beach towels for the beach, the list goes on and on! And beautifully thoughtful touches here and there that made us feel welcome and at home. For us, the huge three-season sunroom in back and the backyard with comfy chairs around an adorably lit fire pit were amenities that took this house over the top. We don’t just hope to stay here again, we plan to stay here again! Thank you for everything at the Rustic Refined Retreat!

Wonderful stay! Super clean and well stocked with everything a family would want. Our absolute favorite part was the large 3 season room off the back of the house. The couch was so cozy and the set up back there was so perfect! 8 min walk to Stray Dogs and 10 to the beach. Highly recommend Brewsters “Blanca’s thin crust pizza” sooo good! We came up to enjoy the beach/town and to watch Ohio State Buckeyes at Norte Dame game only 45-50 min away from stadium. Highly recommend this beach house!

House was great and very family friendly. There were toys, games, and movies. It was also super helpful to have the outside bin of beach toys and chairs. Walkable to downtown, plenty of restaurants and shops, the beach and the marina. The only thing I didn’t realize before booking was the house doesn’t have a dishwasher. Other than that it’s very well stocked.

What a lovely house in the heart of New Buffalo! A quick drive to the public beach and a short walk to many restaurants (recommend Song Asian & Rios!)

Wonderful stay all around. The space was perfect for our family of 5, 2 of the kids being toddlers. I didn’t have to worry about them being unsafe in the home or breaking anything because the kids can get feral(if you know, you know !). We were so close to everything we wanted to do. It was very quiet in the home. The backyard was perfect for the kids running around and playing, they loved the swing set. Beds were COMFORTABLE, sheets were amazing, I ordered a set for my own house. One thing I LOVED was the water dispenser, I’m such a water junkie, this was great for us! Place was very clean and very homey feel. Relaxing. 10/10 would recommend and will stay again.
