Hot tub open all year! Private heated pool, sleeps 10 near downtown New Buffalo!

Follow the North Star to your private vacation oasis, complete with hot tub (open all year!), heated in-ground pool, large outdoor patio, fenced back yard and open floor plan with a cozy fireplace!

Located just minutes from downtown New Buffalo's beautiful beach, shops, restaurants and harbors, North Star is a kid-friendly, pet-friendly vacation destination. The open floor plan includes a dining area that comfortably seats 8 and opens to a large living area with plenty of seating for gathering around the fireplace or watching a movie together. Board games and books are tucked in the nearby cabinet for rainy days.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, glassware, utensils and cookware, including a large toaster oven, drip-style coffee pot, microwave and electric cooktop with oven. The gas grill is just outside on the patio. Please be sure to only use plastic dishware outside by the pool!

Primary bedroom is closest to the living room and offers a queen bed, lots of closet space and a sliding door with private entrance to the back patio. Bedrooms 2-4 are off the hallway to the left of the dining area. Bedroom 2 has one double bed and one twin bed. Bedroom 3 has a twin-over-twin bunk bed, and a twin-over full bunkbed, plus a second TV. Bedroom 4 has a view of the back yard and has a double bed.

The primary bathroom has a large tile shower. Hall bathroom has a tub/shower.

We provide all bed and bath linens, as well as towels for use by the pool. We also provide laundry soap, dishwasher pods, dish soap and hand soap at every sink. You'll find a roll of paper towel and at least one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Please plan to bring additional paper goods as needed for your group, as well as your own body/bath soaps and shampoo/conditioner items. Coffee filters are available, but please bring your favorite coffee to enjoy!

Washer and dryer can be found in the alcove off the living room, where there is also a second fridge/freezer for your drinks and treats, and easy access from the pool area.

Guests use pool and hot tub at their own risk. Children should never swim unsupervised. No diving. No running by the pool. Please pick up after your pets!

Pool was great!!
We booked this place for the outdoor space and it did not disappoint. Pool and hot tub were both clean and ready for our use. There are things about this property that could be cleaner. The siding up by the gutters of the house in the backyard were very dirty and unsettling to look and there are places inside the house that could use some maintenance for the price of this place but overall it was a nice stay and our group had a great time.

Inaccurate billing and non responsive host
My overall rating is primarily due to the inaccurate and what now appears to be fraudulent billing practices by the host and lack of response to my messages and concerns. I received an extra payment request beyond what was outlined in the agreement which was a clear error. I had changed the dates of the stay (well within the defined policy terms) but the total cost/payment schedule was never updated to reflect the fewer dates. The total requested amount was paid in full to secure the property for the trip, but upon asking the host to rectify this error she has not complied or responded to any messages which is concerning given the significant amount of the over-charge. Beyond this issue, during our stay we were unable to use the pool due to its condition which was disappointing given this was a primary reason for booking the property. It was full of algae and dirty and apparently there were problems with the filter. The host did respond during the stay to my complaints related to the pool and refunded a portion of the actual total cost due to inability to use. Overall, the house is large and the inside mirrors what is reflected in the photos, it's in a nice area walkable to town and has a large backyard which would have been great if the pool were usable. However, It broadly could use updates, repairs, and some deeper cleaning both inside and out. Overall- my experience would have been rated very differently if not for the problems with billing and responsiveness.

4th of July in New Buffalo!
House setup was great. Perfect location, not on the busy main drag but close. We rented a golf cart which was perfect for going to the beach and restaurants. Backyard was awesome, pool is huge. Only thing I could say is the outdoor house/chairs/patio furniture could use some heavy power washing/painting.

Location is great. Easy to get around and a short drive/walk downtown and to the beach. The area around the house is nice and quiet. The house is an older home and could use a good deep clean and some TLC. Backyard set up is nice and has a lot of things to do for entertainment but same as the inside it could use some upgrades. Overall we had no issues with the house and it’s a great location with good amenities.

Fabulous property & great host
We loved the location, close to great places to eat. The property itself is secluded yet doesn’t feel isolated. The house layout is welcoming and the backyard is the star of the show. The host was always quick to respond and very accommodating. Some minor improvements (but not enough to reduce the star ratings): We played musical beds as it was hard to find one that’s completely comfortable. Could use an update. The pool area needs a little cleaning. The pool itslef is super clean. It’s the furniture and pool surroundings that can use a little dusting. Other than that, this place is definitely a repeat for our family. Thank you Heather for being a great host and offering this wonderful property!

The house was perfect! We had a girls spring break trip with our daughters and had the best time. Loved the hot tub, fire pit and all the space in the house. The location was perfect, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the lake. Wish it was nicer so we could have enjoyed more outside since the backyard at the house was amazing!!

Great location, lots of beds
This is great vacation property that houses a big group and has a great outdoor space. The host was kind. I suggest making some updates to enhance the experience, like a digital thermostat that would allow guests to arrive to a warm house in the winter, and a digital entry as the key was hard to work. The house also wasn't as well stocked as other VBROs in the area, but if you know that in advance it would be okay. Thank you for a fun weekend.

Fun Girls Weekend
We were there for a Girls Weekend while also participating in a virtual conference for our businesses. There were 6 adult women. They layout of the house is nice, and we all had our own bed. The openness of the main living space was great. The large dining room table was perfect for meals and game night, and the extra drink fridge was a bonus. Of course the hot tub was amazing. There are some maintenance items that should be addressed, and we encountered a few things the cleaning crew missed from the last guest, but it didn't ruin our stay. Also, the oven in the kitchen is very low to the ground and quite small. Something to note if you plan to cook anything large in the oven. Our casserole sized dishes fit fine though. Heather was helpful with recommendations. We enjoyed a spa morning at Evolve Spa (HIGHLY recommend). We had great meals at The Stray Dog and Brewsters, and due to great weather enjoyed a walk down at New Buffalo Beach to take in the beauty of the area. We also did a wine tasting at St. Julian Winery and made a donation at the casino. It is a great area with much to do, even in the winter.
