About this property

Blue Heron Private Retreat in heart of New Buffalo

Now booking summer 2025 - 4 night minimum. Winter rates during offseason (2 night minimum). Before 5/31, 6/6-6/11 and after 9/3 now available.

Pool is open and heated May 1st- mid October. We are registered with the city under permit CR24-0009.

Feel like you're tucked away with an outdoor space that mirrors a resort while being close to all the New Buffalo action. Property includes an oversized/commercial new (2020) heated pool with steps across, larger outdoor space with large deck and gazebo area, sunbathing areas surrounded by lush landscaping. Large firepit area, chipping green/regulation cornhole/game area and huge elevated sunporch with vaulted ceilings nestled among the trees overlooking a large park with playground, walking trails, track, pickleball and tennis courts, skate park, etc. Plenty of space to dine outside under the umbrella, sun or trees.

Similar to Property 1580568 and 1184533, this property has been completely rehabbed and stocked with every amenity in mind.

Inside you'll find a large living room with sectional and Queen pullout sofa bed, dining room with table for 8, plus a separate table with additional seating and island, new kitchen (2021) and full bath on the main floor.

Heading upstairs is another full bathroom, Bedroom 1: Queen bedroom and Bedroom 2: King bed, vaulted ceilings and a twin daybed with pullout twin.

From the main floor, head downstairs to the 3rd level with Bedroom 3: King leading out to the deck overlooking the pool and a 3rd full size bath.

In the basement you’ll find an office with a large tv and daybed as well as a 5th game room with foosball table and laundry room. There is an extra fridge in the garage.

All but the Queen bedroom have smart Tv's equipped with access to all major channels (YouTube TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc). Because of the layout with the separate floors each room feels like it's own private wing. Please note that this is an older house so the ceiling height in the basement is lower and that steps are required to access all levels. Each of the bedrooms has its own AC controls.

Main floor: Kitchen, Living, Dining, Full Bath, and Sunporch

Upstairs: 2 Bedroom and Full Bathroom 1) King Bed and Twin Daybed with Twin Pullout and 2) Queen Bed

Downstairs; (approximately 6 steps): King Bedroom opening to pool deck/patio

Basement: (3 steps from downstairs): Full Bathroom, Laundry Room, Game Room and Office room with Full Daybed

You're located within a few blocks of Redamaks and downtown, across from the park with all of it's amenities and with a double lot/fenced in yard to enjoy the heated pool in complete privacy.

The home is well stocked so you can leave everything at home, from beach towels and toys, bikes, kitchen gadgets, linens, toiletries, etc. As discerning travelers, everything is setup to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

We are conveniently located 1.1 miles from the beach, 0.3 miles from Redamaks, 0.5 miles from downtown New Buffalo shops and restaurants as well as a few miles from Four Winds Casino, a quick drive to the Warren Dunes and/or Michigan City Prime Outlets or zoo. Notre Dame is only a 40 min drive and Chicago is a little over an hour drive or train ride.

Great place to stay in New Buffalo!

We had a great time staying the week at Ryan's place. The yard/pool was a highlight for the kids & (and the dogs). And Ryan was incredibly responsive. Would absolutely stay here again the next time we're headed to the Michigan coast.

Fall Weekend in New Buffalo

Blue Heron was the perfect spot for us and our two dogs. The home is across the street from a park with a path that was the perfect spot for morning and evening walks. The backyard and pool were an excellent place to take in the warm September temps and sun. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had and the home was well-stocked with everything you needed to enjoy a weekend away.

Great Family Vacation!

This property was amazing! Our 3 generations of family with two toddlers and an infant met up for a vacation week and this place did not disappoint. The pool was so warm and beautiful and we really didn’t have to leave our little private resort. We have already rebooked for next summer. Ryan was very responsive. Great host!

Perfect Weekend Get Away

This was our first trip as a full extended family in a few years and this rental did not disappoint. The home was well stocked, and clean, and offered lots of options for multiple small families to sleep throughout the house. The pool was incredible and our kids (5 & 2 y/o) spent hours enjoying it. The town of New Buffalo was wonderful as well. The rental was just minutes from anything you wanted to do or eat. I will be saving this spot for future family trips!

Mom, daughter getaway

So I brought myself and my three daughters up to have a little getaway to ourselves, and it was everything we could’ve asked for. Every child of various ages had a wonderful time. I was able to relax. It was close to everything and we will definitely be coming back to the house. We also brought our fur baby, who had an amazing time And I can’t say enough about the hosts Ryan and Shawn were absolutely fabulous in all aspects

Labor Day Family Weekend

The grandkids loved the pool and the yard. We all enjoyed the screened in porch. Great location and great hosts! The house is clean with plenty of room for 8 adults and 4 young kids. We loved the firepit! Hardly left the house because everyone was having fun! We did walk to Stray Dog and Beer Church. Redamack’s is an easy walk but we ran out of time! I love a beautiful, dog friendly home.

Right at Home

My family and I had a wonderful stay here for Thanksgiving! They had everything we could possibly need, from toiletries to cooking utensils to games and blankets. It’s a well equipped house that made our thanksgiving away feel right at home. Thank you hosts for the hand written card and little gift basket, our dog enjoyed the plush toy as well :)

Great backyard for family time

Clean place with many high quality features. We all loved the yard, and our two year old wouldnt stop playing on the putting green. Plenty of options for outdoor leisure with the pool being the highlight. Comfortable beds with plenty of towels and linens. Great communications with host.
