45 mins to Notre Dame! Come stay for a home game!

**Welcome to Your Comfy & Cozy Home Away from Home!**

This charming three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom house features a spacious yard perfect for adults to unwind while the kids enjoy playtime. In the evenings, gather around the large fire pit for s'mores or kick back and relax after a wonderful day at the beach!

The home is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including central air conditioning, forced gas heating, a washer/dryer, a dishwasher, high-speed Wi-Fi, and YouTube TV. The fully stocked kitchen caters to all your cooking needs, or you can fire up the Weber Genesis gas grill for a delicious steak.

Conveniently located just steps from the marina, beach, shops, ice cream parlors, and restaurants, you can easily walk to the popular Bentwood and Stray Dog restaurants, as well as Oink’s Ice Cream. Downtown New Buffalo is only a 10-minute walk or a quick 1-minute drive away, where you'll find Barneys Market (liquor and grocery), charming boutiques, and more dining options.

If you're looking for a night out, the local casino offers a shuttle service that picks up at the Marina Grand Hotel, located just half a block away. Enjoy the public beach and park, only a short 10-15 minute walk from your doorstep.

With just a short drive, explore Redamaks (open in the summer), Union Pier shops, local breweries and wineries, and the stunning Indiana and Warren Dunes, along with all the exciting activities that Harbor Country has to offer.

Wonderful stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay in New Buffalo. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Communication was so fast! We had a slight issue with the lock partially through our stay and it was rectified immediately. The location was great, and was an easy walk to downtown New Buffalo.

Great house!

The house was so cute and perfect for three couples. The living area was a perfect place for all of us to hang out with enough seating on the couches and at the island. It was just a 15 minute walk to all the restaurants and stores and you could even hear the water from the house! HIGHLY recommend!
