Perfect for Weekend Getaway!
Overall we had a great weekend! The open layout of the house was perfect for hanging out and relaxing. The backyard is truly amazing and we loved having the option of using the hot tub. We did wish the house would have had some blankets for us to use since it was pretty chilly and it seemed like the heat had a hard time keeping up.

Great girls weekend in cute lakeside town
This property was perfect for 4 adult women. We each had our own bedroom. Everything was well appointed and comfortable and the hot tub was divine. The location was spectacular- walking distance to shops, restaurants, bars and the beach. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Comfy home
We came in town for a family member's wedding. This property was great! There were a few questions I had, to which the home owner fixed or took care of immediately. So no complaints! Heather was amazing and was on top of responding to me or keeping me up to date. I will say though... either the water heater is on a timer or it will need replaced soon. It seemed the hot water was gone quick. *(We tried quick showers and gave it a reasonable time for it to fill up.)* And when you have multiple people needing to shower for an event, it was cold. So I would check with her about that, before staying again. Aside from that, it was a great house to stay in! It was a great house to entertain and feel comfortable in. And the neighborhood was super quite. Thanks for everything Heather!

Great Stay
Had a great stay in New Buffalo. We were lucky in October to still be able to enjoy the pool to cool off after frequent dips in the hot tub! Tons of space inside and outside for big groups. Excellent communication and flexibility with host. Walking distance to downtown and beach (though not sure would want to haul anything more than a towel and light weight chair on that walk). Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay Heather!

4th of July in New Buffalo!
House setup was great. Perfect location, not on the busy main drag but close. We rented a golf cart which was perfect for going to the beach and restaurants. Backyard was awesome, pool is huge. Only thing I could say is the outdoor house/chairs/patio furniture could use some heavy power washing/painting.

Why they chose this property

North Star is a vacation home where you can bring your friends and family and have a great time even if you never leave the house!

If you want to explore the area, this is a perfect home base that puts you a short walk away from downtown New Buffalo's beach, harbors, shops and restaurants. Or jump in your car to check out Michigan City, IN, or southwest Michigan's wine country, our bounty of local galleries, boutiques, breweries and restaurants, and much more!

What makes this property unique

- Heated, in-ground pool open April-October
- Hot tub open all year!

- Pet-friendly home so you can bring your best friends along too!
