New Buffalo beach vacation rentals

Beachwalk Home | Golf Cart | Bikes | 3 Kings
Great stay for a weekend away with friends! We had some trouble getting in using the door code initially but the host was very responsive and we worked it out. The kitchen is huge and it was great that every bedroom has a private bathroom.

Artsy 5BR Getaway | Walk to Dunes & Downtown
Our stay for a last-minute golf trip worked out perfectly. Hazel was very kind and the place was easy to access. All courses and Casino were within 15 min radius of the place. Was slightly difficult to find an uber/lyft but we managed. Thank you!

Walk to Beach | Kids Park | Game Table | Fire pit
My group of seven stayed at Carrie’s property for a girl’s weekend and it was amazing! The house is beautifully remodeled, clean and sits just two blocks from the beach and about five blocks from downtown South Haven. We walked everywhere and it was so convenient. Check in was easy, the fire pit outside was amazing and overall, we had a great time!

Best Deal In Michigan City 1.3 miles to Beach
Crystal's place was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Crystal sent us all the information we needed for check in and responded to any messages very quickly. The house is very nice and lots of room. It had a lot of restaurants nearby and was a great place to stay to visit the Indiana Dunes. Would definitely stay again!

THE BEACH HOUSE Accessible Condo Near Beaches
Catherine's Beach House was the perfect place to stay for our fall trip to South Haven. It was close to the area beaches, shops and other amenities. The Beach House has everything plus more! My little ones loved the children's toys and books that were available. We cooked all of our meals at Catherine's place which was a huge plus. The host went above and beyond with information about local events, places to visit and restaurants to try. Catherine was responsive and incredibly kind. We hope to visit the Beach House again soon!

Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Walk to Town, Games & Pets!
Our family had a great stay at Anna’s house. It was perfect for our family gathering and very kid friendly. Our family loved the spacious house, the showers were nice with great pressure and we loved that the home had everything we needed. The host Anna was friendly, responsive, and ready to assist us. Due to the weather, the stay would be worth a little more in the summer months to utilize the pool (however it was heated which we liked a lot) and backyard space. Overall, great host, great home, great time and I would visit again!

Lakefront/Best Views/Paddleboards/Fire-Pit/Kayak
Had a wonderful time staying at Dunetop Escape! The owners were very nice and responsive. Very knowledgeable about the area and made some awesome recommendations. The house was spotless and very accommodating. The house has a lot of usable space and even more sleeping areas! Loved that they made beach days so easy as they had everything you may ever need. Will absolutely be looking to book this location again and look forward to exploring more of Michigan City.

Historic Victorian Mansion
Oh my, where do I start 🥰 Diamond was the Best host and we had a fabulous stay! She's was very quick to respond and resolve a few issues we had, power outage lol. She had everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing, 😎 And we lived to tell about the Dust Storm of 2025!!😅 We will return.❤️

South Shore Studio Apartment {National Park}
I absolutely adored Robert’s place! What a beautiful/peaceful space :) Everything was clean and tidy, loved it right away. I was also lucky enough to check out the open mic event Robert hosts from 2 to 8pm on Sundays :) Will definitely be back!

The Heartwood House<3 : DT Three Oaks w/Game Room
We had a great time in Three Oaks! This little house was everything we needed for a nice weekend away. It was an easy walk to downtown, had a lovely back yard, and all the bedrooms were quite comfortable. The kitchen was amazing and it all worked so well for our group. Thank you for having us, we will love these memories!

The Lake Escape - 5 Mins from beach, casino, & zoo
We really enjoyed our stay! the place was nice, spacious and well equipped.

5 Min Drive Lake Michigan beach-brewery-casino-zoo
We absolutely LOVED this little house for our anniversary trip! It is all updated and trendy, we wish we were there more than one night to utilize the cute and accommodating kitchen! However we just did one night so we enjoyed the beach that was a 7 min drive/$20 for admission. We went to Leeds Pub for dinner and we played bags/had a bonfire in the backyard. 10/10 recommend! We will be coming back!

Private Beach/Lake Michigan/Panoramic View/Hot Tub
I am still going to give a 5 star review regardless of a couple issues we had. First of all the house, amenities, and outside area are excellent and as described. The location feels very private and it is what we were looking for. We had 3 total issues during our stay, and 2/3 minimum were outside of the owner's control. During our drive in the Benton Harbor area had 60-70mph straight line winds that blew the outside furniture into the driveway. This storm also caused water to bypass a window and get the floor a bit dirty. Owners drove out early next morning and replaced outdoor furniture and I wiped up the water in the house. In the morning we realized the hot water was out. Owners immediately drove back out and investigated. They happened to have a property that was vacant at the time, and gave us access to it to drive there and shower. Overall communication and response was excellent. Owners made us whole, and I would recommend.

Dunefarmhouse Modern Country Escape
This is such a beautiful home! Got the chance to unplug and feel right at home within the trees. Lots to do in the area too, went to the zoo, winery, and a brewery. Laurel was great and had a bunch of notes around the home that were super informative and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to slow things down and connect with nature.

Casa Gitana - Boutique Style Stay in Three Oaks
So comfortable and cozy! Felt like home and Brooke was very welcoming! It was a great stay for a great price.

The treehouse at Warren Dunes
This was the 2nd time staying at the treehouse and it was even more lovely than the 1st time. The space is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Charles and Jeremy went out of their way to communicate details to make our stay even better. We love it here and hope to return again someday.
New Buffalo cottage rentals

Beach Bird Cottage- 5min walk to the lake! 3BR/1BA
We LOVED this place! Quiet, safe and friendly neighborhood which made it wonderful to relax and take several walks. Even a Nice short leisurely walk to the beach. We used the campfire pit a lot, since it was a cooler weekend than normal. The place was super clean, cute, cozy and comfy! Close to everything we wanted to do restaurants, ice cream, bike rides, etc. Peter was a wonderful host and even had a bottle of wine for us in the refrigerator to help celebrate our anniversary! We will be back!!

The Pines Cottage on Birchwood
The cottage was beautiful and exactly what we were wanting for our honeymoon spot! It was so clean and well stocked for staying there. The beach and trails nearby were nice to walk and we were pleased with how much was available to go out and do within a short drive. The host was incredibly helpful with instructions and recommendations for where to go in the area. It was a wonderful experience!

Northwind Llama retreat 'Loft Cottage'
Very relaxing environment. Close to several restaurants and small businesses. Robert was very responsive when we had questions and was very nice. We got to meet several of the llamas and the livestock guardian dogs which was awesome!! We will be back for sure.

Private, Sun-filled Union Pier Cottage
Highly recommend staying at Ken’s place! He was a great host, always responsive and more than happy to provide us with local recommendations. The place was clean and looked exactly as described. It was the perfect place for a mom’s weekend getaway!

Neon Dunes Vista Beachfront Cottage
The house is quiet, clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking tools, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bathroom had all the necessary supplies including towels, shampoo, and body wash. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and only a few minutes' drive to the Indiana Dunes National Park, which made exploring the area super convenient. Stephen was a responsive and responsible host. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

The Koi Cottage - Union Pier- Dog Friendly!
Perfect little cottage for a weekend away from Chicago. Serene, cozy and well equipped with anything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again!

New Buffalo retreat - Perfect year-round getaway!
Had a fantastic stay here (our second year in a row), and it was just as good as we remembered! Came with my husband, 2 young kids, and dog - and everyone loved our trip. The house, yard, games, and location were all perfect! And hosts were very communicative.

"The Pines" in Union Pier: Year-round getaway
Very nice! Great weekend in a quiet secluded setting but only minutes from the beach and many restaurants. Great food at an upscale restaurant, Timothy’s, is walking distance.

Your guide to New Buffalo
Welcome to New Buffalo
Overlooking Lake Michigan, almost directly opposite Chicago, New Buffalo is a popular destination for people looking for fun, relaxation, and time on the water. A short drive or train trip brings visitors in from the Windy City, and a quirk of time zones at the state border gives you an extra hour every day to enjoy the impressive sunsets. The natural harbor at the junction of Lake Michigan and the Galien River invites boaters of all types to come ashore in New Buffalo, creating a playground for sailors. Meanwhile, sun-seekers set up camp on the beach, and families wander the boardwalk lined with mom-and-pop shops, with plenty of handmade fudge and ice cream to go around.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in New Buffalo
Summer is New Buffalo's peak season, when the temperature rises, luring you down to the beach to soak in the rays and cool off in the waters of Lake Michigan. Beach season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and though you may be treated by a few warm days outside of that, many of the local services, like kayak rentals, close after the end-of-summer holiday. A series of festivals and events punctuate the warmer months: The August Ship and Shore Festival, the biggest of these, features three days of live music in town. In the fall, the New Buffalo Harvest and Wine Festival draws visitors looking to explore the region's agricultural bounty while it shows off its seasonal colors. By winter, the Michigan cold and snow sets in, and many business limit hours, so visitors come only for cozy solitude rather than local amenities.
Top things to do in New Buffalo
New Buffalo Beach
New Buffalo's main beach is located right in town, allowing easy access to this well-appointed stretch of sand. The beach is outfitted with a playground, event pavilion, public boat launches, and kayak and paddleboard rentals, most of which are connected by boardwalk. The lakeshore also curves along the dunes and doubles as a nature trail, eventually leading to stairs that climb to a dramatic overlook.
Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail
There’s a reason they call southwest Michigan the Napa Valley of the Midwest. Get an up-close-and-personal introduction to Lake Michigan’s small but growing wine region. More than a dozen wineries are located within a 20-minute drive from New Buffalo, inviting day-tasters on a journey of discovery from cellar samplings to a sunset toast overlooking the vineyards.
Sailing
Whether you’re renting your own boat or hopping onto a charter, sailing out of the New Buffalo Harbor is an essential part of seeing the town. Cruise around the lake, stop for a swim, and stick around to watch the sunset from the water.
