About this property
Cozy and Private Home with Fireplace on Wooded Lot Near Lake Michigan Beaches
2 Bedrooms PLUS Loft with Queen Bed
We would be delighted to share our tranquil Michiana Shores oasis with you and your group. The home is designed and furnished to be a cozy yet luxurious escape from the busy realities of modern life. Sit back and relax on the huge wraparound porch or enjoy the wood-burning fireplace or backyard firepit. Beautiful Lake Michigan beaches are within walking distance (or a 3 minute ride on our golf cart available for an extra fee) and downtown New Buffalo is a 7-minute drive. Enjoy the local restaurants, hiking, wineries, breweries, casinos and golf all within a few miles of the property. There is a park with a playground and tennis court in the neighborhood and a horseback riding stable is just down the street.
The home has 2 bedrooms with an additional queen bed in the loft. The loft also features a family area with a large sectional couch so you can watch movies or play games with the whole group.
The home is fully stocked with all of your household essentials including toilet paper, paper towel, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, handsoap, laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, coffee, espresso, teas, coffee filters, and all of the kitchen/dining essentials we could think of. We aim to provide a fully furnished experience for our guests.
The home is well-suited for an adult getaway but also is equipped to host families with young children:
Stored in 2nd bedroom closet:
High chair (attaches to kitchen island)
Pack-n-play, mattress/sheet and sleep shade
Infant bath
Potty
Sound machine
Step stool
Stored in garage:
Bed rails for queen bed
Stroller/wagon combo
Sandbox
Water table
Play train
Soccer net and ball
Stored in kitchen:
Bottle warmer
Kids utensils and plates
Toys/games
Stored in loft:
-baby gates installed on top and bottom
-Toys in TV stand cabinets
Our 4 seater golf cart is available for an extra fee. It's really nice to be able to get to the beach/lakefront in a few minutes!
We hope you enjoy the home and the surrounding attractions as much as we do.

About the host
Hosted by Alex Berce
Alex is from Wisconsin and Kristin is from LaPorte, IN just a few miles down the road from the property. We fell in love with the area after visiting with our 2 young children and decided to buy a vacation home so we could come back and enjoy it more often!
Why they chose this property
We love the tranquility of Michiana Shores. It is wooded and private and close to the beach. We also enjoy going to New Buffalo and Indiana Dunes National Park. There are great restaurants in the area and the wineries and breweries are a fun way to enjoy the local culture.
What makes this property unique
The property has tons of stone masonry and a stamped concrete wraparound porch. We see deer and other animals virtually every day. The property doesn't have any immediate neighbors on either side as we own a lot on each side of the house. It's only an hour from Chicago but you truly feel like you're on vacation. It doesn't feel like just another house with its unique layout and features.
