Follow the North Star to your private vacation oasis, complete with hot tub (open all year!), heated in-ground pool, large outdoor patio, fenced back yard and open floor plan with a cozy fireplace!

Located just minutes from downtown New Buffalo's beautiful beach, shops, restaurants and harbors, North Star is a kid-friendly, pet-friendly vacation destination. The open floor plan includes a dining area that comfortably seats 8 and opens to a large living area with plenty of seating for gathering around the fireplace or watching a movie together. Board games and books are tucked in the nearby cabinet for rainy days.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, glassware, utensils and cookware, including a large toaster oven, drip-style coffee pot, microwave and electric cooktop with oven. The gas grill is just outside on the patio. Please be sure to only use plastic dishware outside by the pool!

Please plan to bring additional paper goods as needed for your group, as well as your own body/bath soaps and shampoo/conditioner items. Coffee filters are available, but please bring your favorite coffee to enjoy!

Washer and dryer can be found in the alcove off the living room, where there is also a second fridge/freezer for your drinks and treats, and easy access from the pool area.

Very good minus the pool boy showing up unexpectedly and being rude to us. Tossing chemicals in hot tub with not warning us and they blew in all of our faces and food as we ate at the outside table.

Super cute house
I stayed here with a group of friends, 6 of us total, and it was a great stay. The property was as described. The beds were comfortable. We had a great time. We only wish it was warmer to enjoy the pool but that's the Midwest for you lol.

Great location and beautiful yard!
The house was perfect! We had a girls spring break trip with our daughters and had the best time. Loved the hot tub, fire pit and all the space in the house. The location was perfect, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the lake. Wish it was nicer so we could have enjoyed more outside since the backyard at the house was amazing!!

Great location, lots of beds
This is great vacation property that houses a big group and has a great outdoor space. The host was kind. I suggest making some updates to enhance the experience, like a digital thermostat that would allow guests to arrive to a warm house in the winter, and a digital entry as the key was hard to work. The house also wasn't as well stocked as other VBROs in the area, but if you know that in advance it would be okay. Thank you for a fun weekend.

Fun Girls Weekend
We were there for a Girls Weekend while also participating in a virtual conference for our businesses. There were 6 adult women. They layout of the house is nice, and we all had our own bed. The openness of the main living space was great. The large dining room table was perfect for meals and game night, and the extra drink fridge was a bonus. Of course the hot tub was amazing. There are some maintenance items that should be addressed, and we encountered a few things the cleaning crew missed from the last guest, but it didn't ruin our stay. Also, the oven in the kitchen is very low to the ground and quite small. Something to note if you plan to cook anything large in the oven. Our casserole sized dishes fit fine though. Heather was helpful with recommendations. We enjoyed a spa morning at Evolve Spa (HIGHLY recommend). We had great meals at The Stray Dog and Brewsters, and due to great weather enjoyed a walk down at New Buffalo Beach to take in the beauty of the area. We also did a wine tasting at St. Julian Winery and made a donation at the casino. It is a great area with much to do, even in the winter.
