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!

This home is beautifully decorated and very well supplied with everything you need. From kitchen supplies, to beach towels and toys, to bath towels and toilet paper, it is well stocked. We loved having 3 separate floors so that each of our children (and their family) could have their own private space. Each floor also had its own temperature control. Our grandkids loved playing hide and seek and found so many fun places to hide. They also loved watching the train go by several times a day (This is not disturbing at all. They are fairly quiet, very short, and not late at night). The house is very conveniently located near the town, so walking was no problem. The walk to the beach is a little longer and if you have a lot of things or it's very hot, I would recommend driving. You do have to pay for parking but we had Uber Grandpa who shuttled us back and forth, so it worked out well for us. We had hurricane force winds come through one night during our stay which caused a few problems (obviously to no fault of the owners) but all was taken care of and the owners continued to check in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our only complaint is that the front porch and grill could use a good cleaning and make sure to bring your bug spray as the mosquitos were loving us. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Lovely newer home with charming decor. Within walking distance to all the fun; pool,lake,restaurants and shopping. Short drive to kids fishing spot. The hostess was very prompt and helpful when we had a question or problem. Our only complaint for our stay was the home was in need of a deep cleaning before we arrived.

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.

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.

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!

Staying at this property for the second year in a row! Already booked it for next year as well. We love the convenience of the location. We love the home layout as well. My young granddaughter gets a kick out of the train that comes by every few hours. Overall just a wonderful vacation spot for my family of 10!

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!!

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!

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!
