WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

We recently took a girls’ trip to New Buffalo with the ladies of my family and had the absolute best time staying at Kristy’s place! 🤍 The home was even more gorgeous in person than it was in the pictures, which is saying a lot! It was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place for us to relax, slow down, and enjoy some quality time together. Kristy was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish and made everything so easy. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better stay! We absolutely loved our time there and will definitely be going back in the near future! 🥂✨

My family and I had a wonderful stay! To echo other reviewers: the house is beautiful, Kristy was an attentive host, and the space was perfect for a large family to spend time together while also providing plenty of room for downtime. Everyone absolutely loved the home: the game room was a huge hit, we took advantage of the outdoor grill to cook delicious food, and the bedrooms were stylish and comfortable. It truly felt like a vacation getaway. Through it all, Kristy was available to answer any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!

Stayed with a group for my 50th. We had an amazing time and barely left the property because we were entertained with all the amenities. Kristy went above snd beyond to accommodate us and very very responsive. I cant wait to stay again. One of my best airbnb experiences!

This place is perfect! We loved the pool/hot tub and outdoor seating area. The house had everything we needed and more. The little downtown area was cute and the recommended restaurants were great.

We were worried that the photos were too good to be true… but it IS as good as it looks in the listing, if not better. Not only is the house beautifully decorated it is very well appointed with vacationers in mind (hooks, bath towels in the room, blackout curtains, beach towels, etc.). Booked the house for the pool on premise (which was so nice and kid friendly) but when stormy weather came, no one was unhappy going inside since the house continued to provide a space for entertainment and fun with the game room, playroom, and basement areas. We hope to make this house a repeat location for our family next summer.
