New Buffalo Weekend

Dogwood Delight was a very nice house located in Grand Beach (New Buffalo). The four bedroom house was very clean, had a very nice outdoor patio area and was conveniently located for our weekend activities. We had a minor issue with the hot tub, but Jan resolved that promptly. The golf cart that is mentioned in the property description did not appear to be usable, however we did not contact Jan during our stay and just walked to the beach. We were not able to locate any bathroom washclothes but that was the only other slight issue we encountered. The house was plenty roomy for our group of eight and we had a great weekend.

Amazing time in this beautiful home

Jan was a great host. She greeted my friends and I upon arrival and gave us some details about her home. Her place is spacious and clean, and her communication was quick and efficient. The location is perfect, being just outside of New Buffalo and also very close to the lake. I will definitely consider renting from Jan again in the future. Thank you again!
