Great little place!
Our stay at soulshine inn was lovely. The only regret is that it was too chilly to enjoy the cute backyard space. Very clean and comfortable.

Perfect winter getaway spot
This was our second time staying at this property and it was great! We just came for a quick weekend getaway and this was perfect for us. The location is great - a really easy drive from Chicago and a good New Buffalo location. We did not bring our dogs, but we love that the place is dog-friendly. The yard space is GREAT and the rest of the house is cozy, clean and comfortable. We had no issues at all and will definitely stay again! Thank you.

Cute, Comfortable and Cozy Cottage
I finally got to stay in this lovely cottage after admiring it online for years. I felt so welcome and everything my dog and I needed was there. So relaxing I rarely left. Enjoyed the fenced backyard; perfect for reading, knitting, eating, and enjoying some wine. My dog, Bella, and I enjoyed walking to Oink’s almost daily to get ice cream. Did a little shopping at the little stores on the way to the public beach. All in all, a fabulous stay. I highly recommend it and plan to go again!

Relaxing and clean
The property was very homey and clean! The backyard was closed in so we didnt have to worry about the dog. Very happy with this stay! The owner was very kind and responded quickly. She was very nice.

Great house! Especially if you have dogs
This house was even better than I expected. Everything we needed was there. And it was so close to everything. We walked to a lot of our meals and activities. It was cozy, but we were able to have privacy by going into a closed bedroom or in the backyard. I woke up earlier than everybody else, and was able to work in the kitchen on my laptop without waking up anybody. I was worried that the loft would not be usable, but one of my kids immediately claimed it and it was perfect. The fenced in backyard was amazing. My dogs were able to enjoy their vacation too. I will definitely go back!

Private and Quiet
Tiny place, but had everything I needed. Furnished perfectly to be comfortable, both inside and out. Location is wonderfully close to everything, walk to beach. Pretty neighborhood with mature trees, enjoyed my daily walks with my little dog. Debra was responsive to any questions I had, but I didn't have many because everything was self explanatory!

Great house!
The house was small, but oh so cute! If I were single, I'd love to live there. We were disappointed that so many of the mom and pop restaurants were closed, but COVID didn't help that situation. The back yard was very secure and safe for our 4-legged family members. We all enjoyed the fire pit! I can highly recommend this spotless rental!

Great stay in New Buffalo
Our family of 3 + 2 dogs all had a wonderful stay at the SoulShine Inn! The property is so convenient to nearby restaurants and attractions. The house is SO well appointed with everything you need and then some! The Inn has a great, updated feel and is super comfortable. The outdoor setting feels very private and we loved making s'mores in the outdoor fireplace (which is very cool) - and firewood and s'mores ingredients were all provided!!. Debra is the best host you could ask for! She was very prompt responding to the questions we had and we really appreciated the friendly and clear communications throughout the entire booking process and stay. Top notch all around - Thanks!

We were in town to attend wedding events- we had our 2 dogs with us. Our dogs are 11 years old and well behaved. They welcomed us and have a lovely fenced in back yard in a lovely neighborhood. It was so perfect. The cottage is very nicely appointed- the backyard was inviting, Thank you so much!!

Nice little comfy home close to everything
We enjoyed our stay at the SoulShine Inn. It was clean and the beds were comfy. It was nice to see all the little touches they put in the home to make it feel cozy for visitors. We enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas and fire pit. We spent most of our time outside and enjoyed the birds and squirrels that would pop in to visit. Debra was quick to respond to any questions and concerns we had. They even delivered more fire wood to us when I asked where we could purchase more. The best part was we weren’t far from Oink’s, the Dutch ice cream place, which we visited two nights in a row! Thank you for helping to make our Girls’ trip a memorable one!

My husband and I loved our first stay in this darling spot so much we came back. It’s within walking distance of downtown New Buffalo but a nice, quiet neighborhood. The fenced-in backyard is lovely and all the thoughtful little details (nightlights, overhead fan, beach chairs) were much appreciated. Just a delightful time. Hope we can return!

We had a great time at this property! It's clean, comfy, and just right for an escape from the day-to-day. It's proximity to town (especially ice cream) is great, and it's super easy to get to beaches, as well! We had a wonderful time!
