Description Description
If you fancy a fabulous vacation rental, look no further! This gorgeously designed and stylishly furnished 4BR-3.5BA woodland lodge offers beauty, comfort, and amenities galore: Chef's Kitchen, majestic fireplace, flat-screen TVs, deluxe hot tub, two 4-season porches, 2 decks, gas grill, firepit, and access to a private community pool. Also, you're super-near beaches, the region's largest harbor, state parks, downtown shops, galleries, excellent restaurants, brewpubs, wineries, golf, and more!

THE SPACE
Our guests commonly say they’re swept up by the combination of spaciousness, natural beauty, and elegant design found upon stepping through the doorway of Lodged in the Trees. From the Great Room’s vaulted ceilings and rustic cypress columns and trusses to the magnificent stone fireplace and large windows bringing in wonderful natural light, you’ll feel the true spirit of R-and-R embracing you immediately.

Posh and comfy living room couches and chairs provide fireside seating for sipping wine or simply chilling out to a movie or show on the large flat-screen TV. Hungry for a meal or snack? The high-end kitchen is fully equipped to help you serve up scrumptious food with joy and ease. With stainless-steel appliances, a Chef’s gas stove, a pro range hood, wraparound stone countertops, and all the primo cookware you could want, you’ll be able to fix up a great meal whenever the mood strikes! Morning coffee lovers? The breakfast nook is your hangout, but be aware—the Keurig habit may never leave you, as we provide only excellent coffee fixings for our guests! When your group feels it’s time for a formal meal, there’s a lovely dining room with great views to enjoy while sharing tasty vacation food together.

Another popular gathering spot is the upstairs family room, with a cool game table, a dedicated laptop space, and more super-cushy places to sit, read a book, chat with your group, or simply do some peaceful reflection or meditation. Did we mention there are not one, but TWO 4-season porches, both handsomely furnished, in which y’all can relax and share some time being serenaded by the countless neighboring birds in the area?

All four super-comfy, richly appointed bedrooms offer warmth and elegant lodge styling you and your guests will love, plus high-quality bedding and linens to ensure a sound sleep and sweet dreams. Deluxe ensuite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, access to 4-season porches, and beautiful woodland and private ravine views are some of the bedroom highlights, as well as plenty of closet and storage space.

MAIN FLOOR
Primary Bedroom: 1 Queen bed + Ensuite Bathroom

UPSTAIRS FLOOR
Bedroom 2: 1 Queen bed + Ensuite Bathroom
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Bunk beds – 1 Full, 1 Single

As exquisite as this vacation lodge-style home is, you’ll find the 3.5 bathrooms will satisfy and add to the experience of good mojo, with handcrafted stone tile walk-in showers or shower-soaker tub combos, deluxe stone-top vanities, and top-quality lighting and fixtures throughout, plus all the essentials to meet your every need. There’s also a high-end washer-dryer combo with the requisite accoutrements to handle your laundry. Boom.

Here at Lodged in the Trees, you’ll relish having lots of outstanding outdoor amenities to choose from, starting with a year-round relax-to-the-max hot tub on a covered lower deck right outside the main floor’s 4-season porch. While peacefully soaking away, you can take in the splendor of the tranquil surrounding woods, remembering why a vacation is so desirable in the first place. When you emerge from the hot tub, there’s a wonderful firepit on the stone patio just a few steps away, where you can enjoy a glass of your favorite beverage, listen to the birdsongs coming from the majestic trees encircling the property, or simply count stars with your family or friends. Anyone hankering for barbecue? We’ve got you covered, as there’s a spacious upper deck with a fab gas grill, ready and waiting to get fired up for making a delicious meal. Want to swim? You’ll have seasonal access to the Camp Buffalo community pool, just a short walk away. Guests of Lodged in the Trees also have access to Camp Buffalo's pool, pickleball courts, playground, outdoor theatre, and clubhouse areas for personal recreation use.

Besides being super-close to the many popular restaurants, galleries, and boutique shops of downtown New Buffalo, you’re just a short distance from a number of truly majestic, crystal-sand Lake Michigan beaches! Plus, you can enjoy the many activities afforded by being a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor—including boat and other watercraft rentals, as well as fishing expeditions and day or evening cruises—and all sorts of woodland, lake, and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore.

Lest we forget to mention, the stunning Warren Dunes State Park is close by, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, beachfront, wetland trails, and extraordinary birdwatching! You and your guests might also enjoy visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment, and tennis courts. For even more variety, nearby Union Pier also has a number of other great restaurants, coffee shops, and breakfast spots. Plus, being centrally located, there are plenty of nearby fun activities to keep you busy during your vacation, including:
• Multiple Public Lake Michigan Beaches
• Local breweries
• Local wineries
• Art galleries
• Antique shops
• Golf courses
…and more!

Beautiful house, enclosed in a wooded area but not far from all the action in New Buffalo. Lots of space for up to 8 people. Highly recommended.

The property itself was clean and cozy, and the location was great for a quiet getaway. The host was responsive and check-in was smooth. Great vacation!
However, one major downside was the hot tub. While it was advertised as a feature, there was no way to test or verify the water quality—no test strips provided, no information about maintenance, and no visible signage about recent cleaning. For guests concerned about health and hygiene (especially with hot tubs), this was a letdown and made us hesitant to use it.
We ended up avoiding it altogether, which was disappointing since it was a key reason we booked the place.
The hosts tried to contact the owners but we never heard back about it. If the hosts address this with proper water safety protocols or at least provide test strips for guests, it would make a big difference. Otherwise, the stay was enjoyable and the rest of the amenities were as described.
Eleni - Posted: 5/26/2025
Eleni - While we are happy to hear you enjoyed the property, we strive for a 5-star experience in all areas and appreciate your feedback on how we can improve. We do test and always clean the hot tub as part of our standard process.

Beautiful home and exceptional service!
Enjoyed a long weekend at this beautiful property and will certainly be back. The location was great and the home was very clean. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and cookies which was a welcome treat. The 2 screened in porches were amazing and the hot tub was incredible. The host was extremely helpful fielding any questions we had and provided great information prior to arrival. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We love New Buffalo and this location was perfect! Close to everything, yet felt very private. It was a charming, rustic place to spend a wintery weekend in. The fireplace and hot tub were great!! Definitely would stay again in the summer.

Wonderful stay! We booked this space for a readathon in January, and it was so dreamy. Snow, woodland animals playing in the background, cozying up on the screened in porch with some blankets, and the hot tub was amazing in the cold weather. Our hosts provided locally sourced pastries to help celebrate some birthdays, which was so kind! I would absolutely book here again. Adored the space and how it was decorated!
