This was a great stay from the onset. Excellent communication, very amicable and responsive. The property itself exceeded our expectations. Everything is clean, organized, well stocked, and wonderfully laid out. We will be keeping this on our list of places to revisit and trust.

We had such a wonderful stay! This was truly the perfect spot for our long weekend friends trip. The house had everything we needed and made it so easy to relax, hang out, and enjoy our time together. The yard was fantastic and definitely one of our favorite parts of the stay! Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. We had the best weekend and are already talking about coming back. We would absolutely stay here again and can’t recommend it enough! 💛

Riley M.

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! 🥂✨

Amethyst S.

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!

Mackenzie N.

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.
