The size of the home and location was perfect for our cousins get together. Walking to shops and restaurants was great. Our favorite spot in the home was the 3 seasons room. We had a couple things come up and our host responded instantly and they were taken care of. She was wonderful. We are already booking for next year.

It Gets Better Every Time
This was my third time staying at Sheila's place, and each time I stay there I am more impressed with Sheila's upgrades and also the cleanliness and overall upkeep of the property. This is a very spacious home, and it is designed with an open floor plan that makes family gatherings feel uncrowded. The three-season porch in the back is an idyllic place to gather and take in the views of nature through the walls of windows in that room.

We enjoyed our stay in New Buffalo. The house was very comfortable and had a lot of great amenities. When I find a kids stool under the sink and ample toys, I know I’ve found a place that understands what it’s like to travel with kids. Sheila was easy to communicate with.
