The house was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The location is great as well. While we didn't mind the train, it might be worth noting in your description for future renters.The staff was easy to work with and responsive prior to out stay. We did not have any issues during our stay.Front and back porch were awesome. The weather was wonderful to hang outside.

Everything was great! Well stocked house, (except for paper towels and garbage bags). Toys and beach equipment were convenient. Close to everything local in New BuffaloThis house worked really well for 3 families with kids aged 11 years to 5 months old. Lots of space to be together to eat, play games, watch tv. Lots of individual space for families. Nice back yard for water balloons. Kids loved drawing on driveway with colored chalk that was provided. Large dining room table for family dinners and well stocked kitchen
