Nearby:
-This location is ideal in so many ways- we are just a short walk to Hummingbird lounge, Brewster's Italian, or waterside fine dining at Bentwood Tavern or The Terrace Room. From our home you'll enjoy the short walk to downtown New Buffalo and the beach.

Also we are just an hour away from Chicago by car or Amtrak, you'll soon be steps away to all the conveniences of Harbor Country. Hop on a shuttle to Four Winds Casino, or a short drive to Blue Chip Casino and the Outlet Mall. A great place to take walks to town or the beach as well as bike riding. Tour the wineries and micro-breweries and so much more.

For your information the local ordinance has quiet hours at 11pm and we ask that our guests respect that as we live on a quiet residential block. Strictly enforced. For that reason we do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties. NO candles or open flames allowed on property - inside or outside. Also we have added an exterior camera to monitor the exterior of our home for liability reasons for our insurance. It is located at the side of driveway. There are absolutely no cameras located inside the house or facing the pool.
Pool will be closed October 18- May 10th.


There is a house guide in a binder at the property with all the information you will need.


Also, City of New Buffalo passed an ordinance, effective 6/14/21, that limits parking to 4 cars maximum, limits number of guests to 14, enforces the noise ordinance and requires a Reservation Summary. That form requests the full name and date of birth for the main contact, full name and age of each guest, and make, model and license plate number (including State) for each car that will be on the property. That form needs to be in the city’s hand no less than 24 hours before reservation. That form will be sent to you in a fillable format but if you would rather send me the information, I can fill it out for you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Amazing Experience

Charming home in a great location! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The home was so welcoming and well appointed. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we could want. We travelled with 3 small children. It was very child friendly. the pool was definitely a highlight. The location made it easy to walk to town and get anything we wanted. We're hoping to make our visit a new annual tradition.

Amazing - Highly Recommended!

I booked this for a surprise birthday party for my Wife and her Family and couldn't be happier with the result. This house is bigger than it appears in the pictures. There is plenty of space for 10+ people to sleep. High-end finishes, VERY clean, and outstanding location. That being said, the true star is the back patio, pool, and proximity to the beach. We would return to this house in a heartbeat! Thank you for such a great stay!

Exceptional!

Our group of 7 girlfriends have been renting properties for our annual retreats for a decade, and we all agreed this was the nicest house we've stayed in. It was so spacious, beautiful, well appointed, and well stocked. There was so much attention to detail. It's especially great for larger groups who want ample, comfortable seating. We also really appreciated all the large, comfy beds; we're past the age of wanting to rent a house with rooms full of bunk beds. The only negative was some repetitive noise from (I assume) the sump pump was disruptive for those sleeping in the basement. We would absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic House

This is the second house of Mary's that we've stayed at, and they were both great. We had a wonderful time playing ping pong and just watching tv downstairs on the nice big couch. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us and the beds were so comfortable. Mary is also very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to come back in the summer!

Pottery Barn Retreat

Never have we had a VRBO property as tastefully decorated or as clean as Red Oak. The owner left no stone unturned when it came to guest comfort. Tasteful and comfortable, with every need anticipated. Thank you so much for a memorable weekend. As we age these short friend retreats become more important each time. Hopefully we will be able to return to this New Buffalo gem this spring.

Wonderful

This house was perfect for my family to come stay at for the weekend. We were all in town from out of state for my sister's wedding and this house fit us all perfectly! My only complaint is that we just didn't get to stay long enough!! Mary was great with communication and we had an issue with a beeping smoke alarm that they came right over and fixed. We will most certainly be back!!

Plenty of space and little extras!

This house was perfect for our group! It has a big open floor plan, which is great for socializing. The pool was amazing, and the cover was very easy to use. Each towels, sunscreen, and bug spray were provided. The basement space is huge! We had two small children under 3 years old, and it was great to put them to bed downstairs and still hang out upstairs without them waking up. All bedrooms have plenty of space and the house is well equipped with towels, shampoo and soap, and plenty of little extras. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay here again!

This house/property is just perfect. Great location, awesome pool, it’s stocked with essentials plus all the things that make it easier to travel (lots of towels, good quality shampoo/soaps, coffee, knives, cookware, pack n play, pool toys, to name a few), the beds are comfortable, laundry (so great with young kids!), good beds/bedroom ratio, and Mary and Tom are so responsive and such great hosts.

We couldn’t have picked a better home to accommodate our family! We had 8 adults, 4 children and everyone was comfortable. It was our first time to vacation in Michigan and we plan to come back.
