Nice big home with pool
Really enjoyed our stay. Owners were in communication with us to make sure we had what we needed. Pool was warm and grandkids loved it. Lots of room in the house to play games on rainy days.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
This is a great property for a large group of friends. The two wings of bedrooms gives a nice sense of privacy from the main living and kitchen space. Great amenities including large pool and fire pit area. The woods right next door makes the property feel nice as secluded so you can have relaxing getaway. The host is very communicative and provides a helpful guide prior to your stay. Would definitely choose to stay here again!

Great Property Nearby Everything Around New Buffalo
We couldn't be happier with this property. We had 11 people in our party - 6 adults and 5 kids. This location had a lot of room for a big family like ours. We enjoyed the pool and back yard, and how close we were to downtown and everything in the New Buffalo area. Had a great vacation and highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by CHRIS KELLEHER

Host profile image
We bought the house in 2018 and rehabbed nearly the entire 4500 Square foot house. For example we:
*Created a huge open space with Great Room, Dining Room.
*Built Wing 2 of the house from the ground up, so all rooms are brand new, and stylish.
*Put many touches into the house that we love, and guests also love, including adding a 12 Foot Brunswick Shuffleboard table and added as many amenities as we could!
