Many restaurants offer discounts. Winters can be an absolute gorgeous, serene winter wonderland. This is really the best time to kick back, relax and take some much needed time for yourself!
We hope to meet you real soon!

I stayed here with 8 friends for two nights and we had a wonderful time! Check-in and communication was great. Jan was an absolute sweetheart. Jan is the most responsive VRBO host I've ever had. It is evident that she takes great care of their property and truly cares about her guests. Property was very clean. Although Michigan is a more forest-y area, I didn't see a single insect in the home. The location of the property is good. Although the driveway can be a bit difficult to spot, we enjoyed how close we were to everything we wanted to see. New Buffalo is an awesome little town with a lot of great restaurants to eat at. Grand Beach is about a 5 minute drive, St. Joseph is about 25-30 min drive, and the Warren Dunes about 15-20 min drive. The amenities listed at the property are accurate to the listing. I was incredibly impressed with the amount of parking available, and the cleanliness and functionality of the charcoal grill outside. My favorite amenity is the privacy fenced in outdoor area, where my friends and I spent many hours enjoying the fire pit and charcoal grill. Value for money is excellent. All of my friends agreed that the property was amazing, and the money spent was well worth it versus getting a boring hotel. Overall, this is one of the best rental experiences I've had on any platform. I am impressed and admire the host's commitment to their property. I think this rental performs well above the majority. 10/10 would recommend.

We stayed with family 2 twins (8 months) 2 1/2 year and four adults. It is a two story with plenty of room. We did not use the formal downstairs living room. There is a small, carpeted living room where the TV is located on second floor where we stayed when we were not out and about. The beds each have their own comfort level extra firm, soft, and real soft. The fenced in area was nice for adults but not small children no grassy areas all gravel and concrete. Overall, very acceptable for adults but would not recommend for small children too many knickknacks. Also, there are a lot of rules and regulations we were worried about breaking the rules. This made it somewhat uneasy and uncomfortable during our visit. You must read the rule page on the kitchen counter. A great place for adults and a very peaceful setting.

I had my Bachelorette party at the house. We went out to eat and came back to the house to hang out on Friday night. We went on a wine tour then came back for games on Saturday night. We had to close all the blinds because we were being watched. As the ladies were setting up for the party which we followed the rules - no tape or confetti; the owner was showing someone her flowers outside the house creeping the ladies out. My maid of honor checked in for me as they wanted to surprise me with everything they had planned. My ladies did a great job of handling the situation. The owner was giving me a hard time about my bachelorette "party" that she knew about when we booked in February and the stay was in July. She went on by informing me it was not a party house and was rude about us staying there and when I was going to be there. I worked all day and informed her my maid of honor who is responsible would be there to check in. I did not think it was a big deal however she made it a huge deal and very stressful. We then felt on edge for the entire weekend. The fire escape plan is not up to fire code according to a local firefighter and the fire extinguisher is out of date. She has 3 different sets of rules which say different rules. As we were finished cleaning and packing, she drove past in her golf cart. We politely said, "good morning" in response. She stays in the back of the property in a trailer as she rents out 3 "homes". The house we stayed at felt more like an awful beds to sleep on and pillows were okay at best if you like less fluff. All the beds were hard and two of the beds hurt my shoulder worse than it already hurt which made the wine tour hard to enjoy being in pain most of the day. I received a text at 9 am on Sunday morning telling me good morning, I hope you enjoyed your stay, please sign the guest book, and rate us with a 5 star review. We did not sign the guest book or give the 5 star review as I do not think this place deserves it. We placed everything back where it belonged when the ladies walked in. I would not suggest this place if you do not like hard beds and someone looking over your shoulder.
