Overall this house was a great place for our end-of-summer trip to Lake Michigan. It had everything we needed, was vey clean, and in proximity to downtown New Buffalo. The kitchen was well-supplied, the beds were comfortable, and it had plenty of space for our family of 5. It was too far for us to walk into town or the beach in the heat with our elementary-age kids, but could potentially be done by others. Either way the drive was less than five minutes to any of the local hot spots.
The only issues I would bring up about the house are relatively minor. I would recommend a bit more in terms of privacy curtains, or at least some darker curtains in the living room and bunk room. These rooms just had very sheer shades so we had to put a blanket over the window in the bunk room to avoid our kids waking too early, and had a hard time watching a movie one night due to the glare from outside. The other issue was that the screened in porch was not very usable space. It only had a picnic table, whereas some more comfortable seating would have been nice to relax in in the evening’s when it was finally cool enough to be outside.
We thoroughly enjoyed this sweet little house and would definitely consider staying there again!
