Description Description
Panoramic views of Lake MI from floor-to-ceiling windows are only the beginning! A mixture of Midcentury Modern design and warm wood tones create an inviting lakefront enclave for families and friends. Large grassy backyard, sun deck leading to private beach, outdoor shower! Interior open social spaces overlook Lake MI. Main ensuite has queen bed + 2 additional bedrooms to sleep 10 total. Dedicated workspace. Less than 90 mins from Chicago and near New Buffalo upscale shops, restaurants.

THE SPACE
Keck Hill is a unique, Midcentury Modern home designed by visionary architects William and George Fred Keck. Set against a panoramic backdrop of endless Lake Michigan views just outside New Buffalo, the showstopper at this stunning house is the amazing view that can be enjoyed from nearly every room. Floor to ceiling windows throughout the main social spaces beautifully showcase vistas of the lake’s endless shoreline, and the outdoor living spaces include a private sand beach, sun deck, and outdoor shower.

An open kitchen stocked with a deluxe housewares package anchors one end of the main living space with granite counters, top-of-the-line appliances, and large island with bar seating. In the middle, the dining area makes a statement when enjoying meals with 180° panoramic views. On the far end of the room a plush seating area is ideal for relaxing by the fireplace, but this takes a backseat to even more Lake MI views. Walkout access to the sundeck and private beach guarantees you can hit the water in less than 30 seconds!

Down the hall you’ll find a second living room w/ wet bar and café table, a dedicated workspace and the home’s 3 bedrooms. Each bedroom is a perfect combo of comfort and style – we use only high-quality bedding and linens, to ensure a good night’s sleep, plus all the furnishings and décor are hand-selected with aesthetic appeal and practical use in mind.

Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Queen and Twin beds
Bedroom 3: 2 single bunk beds

The primary ensuite has a bathroom with a free-standing tub, dual vanity sink, and walk-in shower. A second full bath with shower/tub combo is shared by these rooms. Need to wash clothes during your stay? There is a full laundry room with separate washer and dryer + a laundry sink, as well.

On the tranquil shores of Lake Michigan lies New Buffalo a hidden gem offering a delightful array of activities for an unforgettable vacation. Adventure awaits on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan. Try your hand at kayaking, paddleboarding, or jet skiing for an exhilarating experience amidst the serene surroundings. For a more relaxed pace, hop on a boat tour to explore the coastline and its scenic beauty.

Explore the town's charming downtown area, bustling with quaint shops, art galleries, and boutiques. Browse through unique local artwork, handmade crafts, and stylish finds that capture the essence of this lakeside community.

Culinary enthusiasts will delight in New Buffalo's diverse dining scene with fresh seafood and local cuisines and waterfront restaurants offering stunning views of the lake. Don't miss the opportunity to witness a breathtaking Lake Michigan sunset. Whether you choose to unwind on the beach with loved ones or embark on a sunset cruise, the vibrant colors painting the sky will leave a lasting impression.

Perfect beach house
We had a great vacation! Beautiful sunsets, perfect beach. The kids loved playing and fishing in the creek! The deck is perfect for late nights and love the outdoor shower.

Lake was great. Access to beach. Cool deck.

Stayed here for a Notre Dame football game with a family of 6. It's about 45 minute drive to campus. Not bad and being on the lake and in this tranquil setting was perfect. I cooked for my family here and the kitchen had pretty good equipment. I brought my own stock pot because I'm a cookware snob. Haha. Lake was great. Access to beach. Cool deck. About 15 minutes to everything you could need. Place was clean and had a cool and tranquil vibe.

a little slice of heaven
this was the perfect home for our first ever sibling reunion. The 9 of us fit perfectly comfortably and had ample space for cooking, dining, playing games and of course gazing at the gorgeous sunsets. Close proximity to restaurants and wineries/breweries. We would have loved more of a beach for laying out and playing games but we did enjoy sitting there and on the deck

My family and our friends had a wonderful weekend here. We have kids ages 3-11yrs and they all loved the house. There was plenty of space for all 9 of us. The views and beach access were absolutely perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked so making meals was very easy. We will definitely be back!

This is an absolute gorgeous place! I booked a surprise getaway for father's day weekend and our jaw dropped when we checked in. The view of water, sound of waves lapping on the beach, which was readily accessible by the path next door, green backyard and singing birds - it was an amazing experience. The spacious kitchen helped us with meal prep for us and our kid. Excellent amenities. Kristen from Juniper was super responsive. They made it a point to fix some of the tiniest issues that didn't concern us for our stay but wanted them to be aware of. Our kid absolutely did not want to leave, we had such a great, peaceful stay.
Also, this place is the last house on ravine drive, which is sort of downhill on the road.
