This charming home was immaculate & such a great location. All you could want for a weekend getaway without having to drive to restaurants, boat harbor, pool, etc. Tracey was fantastic with communication and really appreciated everything about our stay. Can't wait until next time!

Perfect location and super cozy home! Our family of 5 enjoyed every minute of being walking distance to beach, marina, downtown/restaurant and the Merchant Street Cottage pool.

From the moment we arrived at the home, we knew we found a great fit for our family. The cozy spaces were perfect for our young ages. The closeness of the pool helped on the hotter days when the beach was not an option. Tracey had everything that we could think of (and forgot that we needed) to make our vacation a success! I will be staying here again and telling friends and family!

The house is absolutely adorable. It's walking distance to the main street in New Buffalo with Stray Dog, Brewsters etc. It's in a very convenient area, and a cute little community. The host was very responsive. Enjoyed the stay and would absolutely stay here again!

Loved this place! The house uses every inch it has to comfort and entertain its guests. The provided beach/pool towels, pool floats, bikes, shampoos, body wash, spices, and kitchen supplies saves SO much packing space. My kids loved making s’mores at the fire pit, hiding in the loft, and playing ping pong/air hockey on cooler nights… then swimming in the heated neighborhood pool the next morning. We walked to the grocery, ice cream, beach, playground, and a different restaurant each night. We didn’t run into any problems during our stay, communication and check in with Tracey was wonderfully smooth. Would stay again in a second.

New Buffalo is such a special place for our family, and this home DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Not one bit. Beautiful accomodations, plenty of space, lots of benefits and so very close to town. It's also located in such a quaint little community of homes. Incredibly easy walking and access to parking. Will most definitely rent from this spot again! Hosts were very kind, helpful and communicative.

My husband and I stayed here with our kids ages 5, 3, 2, and newborn for long weekend. Location was perfect for walk to town and beach using wagon. Pool was also great to use in the afternoons. Perfect set up for families with young kids. Only negative was basement typical to an older house (dark, musty smelling) so didn’t feel comfortable using the third bedroom down there.

We came up to New Buffalo for my sister bachelorette weekend, and we stay at Tracey’s beautiful house. It was such a lovely stay, and Tracey was great and made everything so easy. The house was perfectly located so we could walk to everything we had planned, plus there was a nice community pool. All of the neighbors were very friendly. I am definitely thinking of booking another trip up with my family.

A group of the girls in my family stayed here for a little weekend getaway. It was perfect and we had a blast! The location is ideal, it’s walking distance from pretty much everything you need and just a short drive to the wineries. The house is so cute too with some many different spaces to hang out. Would definitely recommend!

This house is even cuter than the pictures show - nicely decorated and warm and cozy. It was outfitted with everything we needed, and the living room and fireplace were so inviting and comfortable, we spent a lot of time enjoying them! Tracey was great to work with and very accommodating to any request we had. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this an 11.

Great Trip Overall!

Great Trip Overall!

The house was in a wonderful location and have plenty of space for both mine and our friends family - Total: 4 adults, 4 toddlers. The only thing to note is that although general cleanliness wasn't a concern, there was A LOT of dog hair on the floors on all levels and the main level furniture. As dog owners ourselves, we understand how hard it is to keep this 100% swept, but I would be remiss not to mention it. Communication with the owner was fabulous and overall our long weekend to cap off our summer with friends was wonderful. Definitely plan to stay again! :)
