New in-ground pool for 2025 season!

Boasting two kitchens, multiple living areas, a hot tub, and an expansive, enclosed backyard, this New Buffalo home is perfect for families vacationing together or groups of friends! Your convenient location in New Buffalo also makes it effortless to indulge in the town's numerous activities. A short drive is all it takes to sink your feet into a sandy beach while several parks and nature preserves, such as Turtle Pond Nature Reserve and Turtle Creek Preserve, serve as scenic locales for walks and picnics together. Learn more about the area's history at the New Buffalo Railroad Museum, then grab a bite at any of the tasty local restaurants. Venture a little farther and visit Michigan City, where an array of golf courses, tourist attractions, and shopping options await.

Back at your inviting vacation oasis, step inside either entrance to be greeted by a house exuding charm and a homey ambience. Take your pick from any of the three living spaces and relax comfortably in the family room on the main floor (the fireplace is currently unavailable for guest use), the studio, or downstairs. The well-equipped kitchen is sure to please the group chef and even includes a coffee bar to start your mornings off right. Though enjoying meals indoors is tempting, the large backyard and grill beckon guests outside for barbecues. Sear your meals to perfection as the kids frolic in the yard, then gather around the firepit afterward to complement the meal with some s'mores. Top everything off with a soothing soak in the hot tub before heading back inside.

The backyard includes an entrance to a studio, giving your guests an extra layer of privacy if they want it. The studio features its own full kitchen, full bathroom, smart TV, and sleeping options, making it completely self-sufficient! While there, take turns trying for high scores on the Pac-Man arcade cabinet. Downstairs, you'll find yet another living space with an area for lounging, a full bath, and two separate bedrooms.

Between the expansive home and its compelling location, Charlotte's Chateau guarantees a memorable stay!

Wonderful Stay!
We had a fantastic stay at this house! Perfectly suited for our family of 5. The spacious layout allowed for everyone to relax in their own spaces and be together when we needed to be. The kids loved the backyard (and we all loved the hot tub!) and the nearby beaches. The public beach is nice and close to ice cream shops, lunch spots, etc. The house is in walking distance to the main strip for shopping and eating with our favorite restaurant being Beer Church Brewery (family friendly). Very much recommend for families or large groups looking for a fun getaway!

Great vacation home / Grest location
This is a great vacation spot that we will definitely book again in the future with our family. Loved the hot tub & firepit in the private spacious backyard. Plenty of room for the grandkids to play and the outdoor grill was perfect for meals in the evening. Inside the home is very spacious with plenty of room for family gatherings. Loved the large bedroom that was perfect for the grandkids to enjoy their own space. It included a wall mounted video game machine and also had its own full kitchen ! The rest of the house was beautifully furnished with a large kitchen , living room and two other bedrooms on the main floor and two large bedrooms, fully equipped laundry room and living area in the lower level. We had 5 adults and 4 children with plenty of living area. This home is within walking distance to the lake and all the restaurants and shops in New Buffalo. Great home , great location !!

Renters Beware: no Central AC, filthy home infested with earwigs; needs deep clean and a lot of w...
Only two pluses here are location (walked everywhere including beach) and property size/number it could fit. Property was filthy, not ready for renters, and the listing contains a misrepresentation re: AC. No Central AC and you will instead run around toggling between NINE individual AC units, which smell old and musty, some turn off on their own, multiple had blades filled w/ black mold, and one (the only newer one) runs nonstop so loud it prevents people from sleeping soundly in the studio. Vacasa promptly responded and had maintenance spend hours taking them apart, replacing batteries, cleaning filters and blades, which was appreciated but a big inconvenience and too late. The lack of Central AC and condition of units upon arrival affected the enjoyment of our trip. Lower level (2 bed, 1 full bath) infested with ear wigs, major moisture problem, smells musty and moldy. Had ear wigs on our clothing, inside our bags, inside my child's pack n play! The ear wigs were so bad we brought them with us in belongings after vacating the uninhabitable property. Arrived to the home in desperate need of deep clean prior to renters. They raced to rent it for the summer season w/ a few surface-level aesthetic fixes; did bare minimum and ignored multiple glaring concerns in our opinion. Clear lack of oversight on this property by Vacasa, unfortunately to our family's detriment. Original, 70+ year old main kitchen. Filthy cupboards with wallpaper inside stained, dirty, and ripped. Old, gross furniture in kitchen. Arrived to: mold inside refrigerator; inside of oven filthy; brown liquid dripping down wall from stovetop hood; dried old soap so built up inside dishwasher dispenser it didn't work; wash machine basin had cobwebs built up with spiders; ear wigs in washer and dryer; basement shower had cobwebs and spiders; back of laundry room door attached to wall w. cobwebs. The backyard they boast about filled w/ weeds, ant-hills and debris. Found multiple sharp can and bottle parts as our small kids played. Firepit filled with dirt, debris, and cobwebs; its chairs covered in the same and bird poop, and no hose out back to clean (ordered one to do so myself). In need of new table and chairs on back patio. Grill dirty, lighter has battery corroded inside, and temp gauge doesn't work. Sent lawn co to address and spray Roundup where our kids are playing each day. No water pressure in studio bath faucet. Studio floor heaters pumping heat w/ no off switch. Primary bed light fixture hanging loose; couldn't use until fixed by staff. Had to order shelving unit as nowhere to put belongings except hangers in 2 upstairs bedrooms and studio. Sent cleaners, maintenance, and lawn co over multiple times to attempt to address but too inconvenienced, too many issues and had to vacate due to extent of ear wig infestation. Stayed 1 of our 3 weeks. Vacasa had no alternative for us in New Buffalo and refusing to fully refund us for this mess. Horrific experience.
