About this house rental
Thanks for checking out our vacation home! Built in 2020, Fort North is located at the end of a dead end street in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. The house is walkable to everything- 3 blocks from Main Street downtown, 6 blocks from beach. It overlooks the Galien River Marsh with spectacular views from the balcony. Relax on the sprawling front porch and enjoy the sunset over the marsh or choose to eat dinner on the back patio.
We are located just minutes away from restaurants like The Stray Dog and Caseys as well as the grocery store, quaint downtown shops, and the public beach. Our favorite is enjoying strawberry ice cream at Nancy's after a late afternoon walk. Just steps away, you can spend the day chilling at the private heated association pool. Close to the local casino, wineries, and breweries, the house is designed for large groups and the neighborhood is family friendly. The kitchen/dining area has seating for 12 and in includes a stocked kitchen with a gas stove and custom cabinets. The living room features a gas fireplace, perfect for curling up with a book. There is an additional living space with bar, table, and beverage fridge in the basement. You will love the peaceful, relaxing vibe our house has!

My friends and I had a great time! They all have children, and the house accommodated them well. Kids loved the pool. It can get pretty packed tho. Close and walkable even with kids!

We love this house- it was our second year coming back! We've made so many memories at the beach, walking into town for dinner and ice cream and swimming at the neighborhood pool. The house has everything we need and is beautifully decorated. The kids love the bunk room! We all loved spending time on the front porch. We were even inspired to buy a shuffle board table after our first stay! Thank you for another great stay, we hope to be back soon!

We had a wonderful stay at this well appointed beautiful home. The owner told us about great places to eat and places to visit. We walked to the beach everyday and enjoyed Lake MI - so refreshing. After dinner we walked the 1/2 mile and loved the perfect sunset views over the water. We had fun playing pickle ball at the local high school were there were 8 courts at least. We would enjoy coming here again ❤️. Thank you - highly recommend.

The house was perfect for our family! It comfortably slept our family of 5 plus both sets of grandparents. We love renting in the Merchant Street cottage community, the location is great and you’re within walking distance of everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed the shuffle board table in the evenings!

We enjoyed our stay in this home for the weekend. The home was stocked with everything we needed: an abundance of towels, coffee maker, cooking pots and pans, plenty if utensils, beach chairs and pool needs, and more. Everything was in clean, working order. The beds were comfortable and clean with plenty of sheets, pillows and extra blankets. Location is perfect for a walkable vacation.

It’s a beautiful home with tons of space, attention to details and excellent location. It was the perfect spot for a girls weekend because it was so walkable to anything you’d want - coffee, bars, restaurants, beach, marina. Highly recommend!

I rented this house for my daughter’s Bachelorette weekend! The house is absolutely beautiful and located a few blocks from the downtown and beach (both walking distance). From the big front porch to the quaint back room and patio…the house is perfect! It is decorated so nicely, has a fully equipped kitchen, and lots of bedroom and bathroom space. I would rent this house again and again and again! And…the neighborhood pool is an added plus!!

The house offered a perfect home base for our girls weekend. It’s conveniently located to many shops, restaurants, breweries, etc. There was more than enough space for our group of 7. I can’t recommend this place enough!

We came on a family trip here with 4 adults and 5 kids under 6. The house is stocked with all of the towels, beach towels and beach gear we needed. We loved playing shuffleboard and foozball in the basement. Lots of meals were enjoyed on the front porch. The neighborhood pool was close and perfect for our young kids. It's just a couple blocks to everything in town- we walked to dinner/ice cream every night. The beach is ~1/2 mile away. We walked to the beach one time and decided to drive the next time since we had so many young kids, but it's not far. The beds were very comfortable. We loved how the house was decorated! We hope to make it an annual tradition to come stay here!

The house is well kept and maintained. We had everything we needed. We loved no traffic being on the dead end road. From the 4 year old to the 67 year old , rooms accommodated well. The community pool is small but very nice. Beach is a walk but very easy to get to. Tge train is close but didn’t bother us .

We absolutely loved this house. Eight adults and one child and we had plenty of room! Our favorite part was the basement, we played so many games of table top shuffleboard!
We booked it for 2024 before we even left the property.

A group of friends and I have traveled up to New Buffalo for the past 3 years for a holiday trip, and this year was the best stay we've had yet. This place is really conveniently located for town access, beach access, and overall feeling a part of the community.
The house has really nice space as well, and the bedrooms are excellent! The bunk room is not only convenient but the beds are actually really nice.
Summer or winter, large or small groups--I'd recommend anyone to stay here. Note the smoke detectors are a bit sensitive, but the hosts do a great job giving detailed welcome instructions.
Otherwise no complaints, would highly recommend, and look forward to making this another great stay in New Buffalo!

The location, house and pool were great! Just a short walk to the beach and very close to shops and dining. The house is decorated so cute only suggestion is to add some mirrors for getting ready. We had 11 ladies in this house and it was comfortable for all. Would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed this home. Location great and lots of fun things in the area to do. Our highlights were Warren Dunes, Mike’s Blueberry Farm, Galien River Marsh Boardwalk and Canopy walk, Oinks for ice cream, Villa Nova pizza, Beer Church. Barney’s is very close and a nice grocery store. Community pool very convenient and kept up well. New Buffalo beach convenient also !

Awesome Spot, Not all inclusive
We loved staying in this home - there was plenty of bedrooms and space for the family (kiddos + parents+ grandparents) reunion trip we hosted there. Beach chairs, toys, and games were provided as well as kitchen supplies, however we stayed for 9 days and there was 2 rolls of TP per bathroom and no shampoo/conditioner/body wash and no tissues in any rooms. Also no full length mirrors in the bedrooms or bathrooms. Porch had some wasps and cobwebs and is close to a pretty forested area on one side so bring bug spray for porch/back patio. Overall amazing time and loved the location, but this was first time i’ve stayed in a home where don’t provide any shower toiletries/limit toilet paper/no kleenex esp at this price. Still had great time. All new appliances and finishes, cute decor, and up to date with easy door locks with code for checkin. Rachel was great at getting back to me quickly and answering any questions and photos are super accurate!

Even Better Than Listed
Honestly, the pictures don't do this home justice. It was beautiful inside and out, and very clean. The location is ideal - walking distance to the beach, marina, and restaurants. Check-in was a breeze, and the "to-do" list for check-out was simple.
Kitchen is well stocked, and plenty of room for gatherings. The front porch swing is awesome - I spent several hours out there reading over the course of our stay. All in, I'd rent this property again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Getaway!!
This home is absolutely beautiful! We came to New Buffalo for a girls weekend of wine tasting. Everyone absolutely love this house! The decor was beautiful and everything was perfect! Couldn't have asked for anything better!

This house was a hit with my bookclub! It was a beautiful place to stay and perfect for chatting fireside during the rain and playing games around the table! We loved the basement, but since we left our kids at home with the dads, we didn't utilize that space, but it was great! Thoughtful design makes this a perfect rental for any size group. And the decorating made it feel like a true home. Very comfortable! Thanks for sharing it with us! What a great weekend with friends!
Side note: Check out Three Oaks if you haven't been there in a while that town is upping it's game! We all got some great finds (shoes for me!), had a terrific lunch at Froelich's, and a cocktail at Journeyman!
