Luxury Lakefront Home w/ Private Hot Tub, Large Yard, Association Beach & WiFi

Nothin Dune

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to Nothin Dune, a luxury lakefront home that's located directly on Lake Michigan in New Buffalo’s exclusive Riviera community, where you'll be treated to fantastic views of lake sunsets from the sunroom, the gazebo, the back porch, the master bedroom, and just about anywhere in the main living area. The expansive yard and the prime lakefront location encourage you and your loved ones to spend time outdoors, especially on the private association beach down the stairs. You'll even be a short bike ride from downtown New Buffalo - close enough to enjoy the shops and restaurants while still having the feel of a summer getaway.

Some of Nothin Dune's great features include:

- A 500-square-foot master suite with amazing lake views, a reading area, a bar and refrigerator, and a master bathroom with a large glass-and-stone rain shower
- An open-concept kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances
- A large, grassy, and professionally landscaped backyard
- A built-in outdoor grilling and prep station
- A gas-operated firepit overlooking the lake, with no wood required
- Hardwood floors and trim, modern and bright bathrooms, and comfortable contemporary furniture in every room

The home’s open floor plan features a large kitchen, a main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, and windows and sliding doors that are designed to let in the natural light. All five well-appointed bedrooms are on the main level, including a brand new master suite with a king-size bed that overlooks Lake Michigan, a second master suite with a king-size bed, and three additional bedrooms with a queen-size bed apiece (including a lakefront bedroom with a convertible Murphy bed). There are three full bathrooms, as well as a fantastic sunroom off the kitchen with a dining table that seats up to 10.

The rustic, fishing-themed finished basement provides ample space for you and your guests to relax and watch movies on the new 58-inch HDTV with surround sound (features include HD cable, a Blu-ray/DVD player, PS3, and Apple TV). There is also a poker table for your entertainment. Nothin Dune boasts high-speed WiFi throughout and a state-of-the-art Sonos sound system, which allows you to play your favorite Pandora station anywhere in the house. The outdoor patio has a gas grill and a long dining table with enough chairs for the entire family, while the yard provides a great place to sit, cook, spend time with friends, or sip a cocktail at sunset. It’s big enough to play a game a whiffle ball or set up a badminton court.

The finished gazebo overlooking the beach is a lovely place to catch a snooze in one of the two day beds or read a book as you enjoy the lake breeze. A built-in hot tub and gas firepit are are just in front of the gazebo, offering beautiful views of the lake year-round. From there, a sturdy, well-maintained staircase leads you down to the private association beach, where you and your guests can swim, read, and enjoy Pure Michigan!

The perfect weekend

Nothin Dune was ideal for my husband with mobility issues after a stroke. Having all the family on one floor was so nice. And not too many stairs down to the beach. A beautiful home in a beautiful location. The sunsets were killer. Nobody wanted to leave! We hope to come back soon.

Outstanding Lake House

Cozy yet spacious home with spectacular view. Love the open floor plan and large dining table for family dinners. Kitchen is well equipped but pantry space is limited. The large grass area in the yard is awesome. Hope to visit again in cooler weather to use the fire pit.

Decent home - Gorgeous view

We had a wonderful weekend at this home but we all agreed that things were a bit mis-represented. Mainly that this is a 5 bedroom home. The 5th “bedroom” is actually part of the eating area and “sunroom” with a Murphy Bed pulling out of the wall and a pullout wall. The home wasn’t as luxurious as the it appears in the pictures. It was clean and comfortable for our group but we really thought this was going to be something special. The view and community was definitely special but the home was just good - not great.

New Buffalo

We loved New Buffalo and the location of the property on the water. however it seems dirtier once we did a further inspection. The living room furniture was particularly dirty, not a good idea to have a white sofa in the main room. Then we found one of the mattresses to be very dirty with what looked like blood stains on it. I took a picture. over all we were disappointed in the house. The outside furniture was a mess as well.

What a stay

I was diagnosed in March with Lung Cancer. My family and some friends wanted to get away and just spend 4 or 5 days enjoying each other and not have to worry about anything stopping that. Staying at Nothing Dune really made that happen. It is a beautiful home that has absolutely anything you may need to enjoy a week or month away. The home has such beautiful views no matter what room you are in. The master suites is basically a private section of the home that you cannot only sleep in but also entertain in it with the size it is. Vacasa was immediate on any questions or follow ups. They also come with a 5 star rating. I started out talking about my cancer at the beginning of this comment but I can tell you the whole time we stayed in the home not once did cancer become a conversation or topic because of the enjoyable time we had when we were there. So that I will always be appreciative of how nice the home is taking all cares away.

Beautiful Home

The lake views from this home are splendid. The street is very quiet but still a quick trip to get into town. The home is in perfect shape and would hold a large group. We did find a Keurig coffeemaker upon arrival - different from the drip pot shown in the photos - so pack some of both for your breakfast.

Wonderful week at Nothin Dune

A lovely, spacious home for a restful week along the shore of Lake Michigan. Four bedrooms with a spacious master bedroom, three bathrooms, an open and comfortable kitchen, study, and living room, and a recreation room and laundry facilities in the basement. A large gas grill and outdoor eating area. Lots of green space in the backyard overlooking the lake, with bird feeders that attack many birds. Enough space for regulation croquette or badminton. A hot tub and a fire pit also in the back yard, along with a small beach house. Easy access to the beach this year. Only challenge is the beach is shared with RHOA members which led to one crowded day. Will want to return next year!

Perfect family home

You just can't beat the location of being on the beach! Plenty of room for our large extended family, the layout was perfect. The kitchen island & peninsula were more than adequate! There were many bird feeders and the kids really enjoyed seeing that right outside the windows. Close drive to town. Everyone enjoyed the home and especially the sunsets!

Great House and Great Views

Great cleaning crew for the inside of this house, it was immaculate. Kitchen is nicely laid out and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and cleaning up. Only thing we missed having was a serving tray. Firepit area is wonderful with very nice furniture. Sonos sound system in the house was enjoyed by all. Having direct beach access was amazing. Absolutely stunning views and sunsets. Nice lawn for games. Gas grill was clean and worked great, didn’t have to worry about propane running out. --- Another review mentioned gardens need attention. Yes, they do, especially when you see the neighboring properties. Broken furniture and an old hot tub cover on the deck didn’t help. --- Would have rated property 5 stars, but we had an issue with the hot tub. We chose this lakefront property over others because it had a hot tub, but when we opened the cover on the day of our arrival it was filthy. After 3 phone calls over two days and additional online messages to Vacasa and VRBO, it was cleaned on the 2nd afternoon of our 4 days there. The availability calendar for the house showed it was not rented for several days prior to our arrival so it was unfortunate that it was not cleaned beforehand, especially since the rental agreement included an extra hot tub fee.

Our New Favorite Escape!

We’ve been renting home in SW Michigan for 15 years. Never really had a bad place, but after staying at Nothin’ Dune we have found our new favorite place and are already plotting our return for next year with the kids. The home is so thoughtfully setup and appointed. It’s modest in some ways, maybe under-stated is the better word. But it has plenty of room for everyone and has every amenity you could ask for in a rental home. But its the yard, beach access, and location to town that really make this home the best. Look forward to our return.

Spacious and beautiful lakefront setting

A beautiful home with large gathering places (living room, dining room, outdoor eating area). Very comfortable sleeping spaces (4 bedrooms) that can easily accommodate 6-8 adults, with additional beds available for 2-3 more. Modern kitchen is well equipped. Outdoor natural gas grill worked well. Views of ever changing Lake Michigan are amazing. Large grassy lawn allows for badminton, croquet, and maybe volleyball! Hot tub can be used while admiring the lake, the lawn, and the house. Natural gas fire pit is suitable for evening gatherings that could include marshmallow roasting. We had a wonderful and peaceful time during the week.

Perfect lake house

Yellow Birch Inn was an amazing stay for our extended family. Christl has thought of everything that you would need for vacation fun. The kitchen has place settings for at least 20 people. The house is beautifully decorated with a bath for each bedroom. Outside the gazebo and the fire pit were great gathering places. There are 2 paddle boards, a lily pad, kayak, inflatables and more.

It was a very beautiful property. And a beautiful view. However we felt we pay too much for the week

For the price we paid - The front yard and landscaping could use some attention. There were some light stains on the large white couch. And the carpeting had holes in it. The front doormat look like they have been there for 10 years.

Amazing View!

Beautiful house but the best thing is the stunning view of Lake Michigan. The yard is a great place to hangout but we spent most of our time in the hot tub. There are quite a few stairs down to the beach but it was worth it. We were interrupted a few times (hot tub maintenance, yard maintenance, etc) and we would have appreciated a heads up but other than that it was perfect. This is a great place for a getaway with family and friends and we hope to get back some day.

A peaceful retreat

Once we opened the front door, the stunning view of Lake Michigan greeted us. The house was very homey, private, comfortable, and more than adequate for our extended family of 10. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed. There’s a direct access to the private beach via a flight of stairs. Overall, it was a quiet, relaxing and memorable stay.
