Amazing Getaway

We stayed 3 nights in this absolutely beautiful home and it was so hard to leave! Wish we stayed longer. Anything you could possibly need was supplied. It was like staying in a hotel but 1000x better! The outdoor space and the guest house were amazing! Loved the gas fire pit outside. Loved how close the house was to downtown and the beach. I would love to make this a yearly trip! You will not be disappointed booking this amazing home! Also, Lorene was fantastic and quick to respond to any questions I had. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!! I am absolutely in love! 💜

Perfect Group House for New Buffalo Trip!

The house was perfect for our family trip to New Buffalo! We had a group of a few families with young kids and the house/patio worked really well. We will absolutely rent this house again if we return to New Buffalo - highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay with Friends

This bungalow is perfect for groups of 8. The home is spacious, warm and inviting. It has everything you could need in New Buffalo, including beach chairs. The kitchen is completely stocked and has fun Fiesta dishware. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are updated. All the rooms feel much bigger than the pictures indicate. Lorene checked in with us each day via text to ensure we were enjoying our stay.

Friends Trip

This location is absolutely fantastic. A short walk to the beach with plenty of places to eat and drink within a few hundred steps the house. Highly recommended for a medium sized group of people. I genuinely wish our stay was longer to enjoy the house, the hammock/backyard, and the sunroom. The beach wagon came in handy for us and instructions for everything we needed (from beach towels to cleaning up) was well organized.

Labor Day gathering

Great location - right in town, short walk to beach. House was very well equipped ( lots of kitchen equipment plus beach chairs, beach wagon, etc.) and well-cared for. Nice touches like fresh flowers at check-in. Older home ( only 1/2 bath upstairs where most bedrooms are) but overall very comfortable home.

Great stay!!

We had a long weekend in New Buffalo as a family and the house was perfect! We had two adult couples and children upstairs and grandparents in the downstairs master. Perfect setup, fantastic location (walked to Oinks and dinner every evening) and host was great to work with. The summer house in back was icing on the cake. We would definitely book again!

The house was perfect for us - 4 adults and 3 kids. The location is wonderful and we were able to walk everywhere - the beach, dinner, grocery store, ice cream shop, coffee shop. Lorene was very helpful and easy to contact. The outdoor area is beautiful and relaxing, and we loved the fire table at night. I highly recommend this property!

Best New Buffalo Stay!

Wow. I really can’t put into words how perfect this stay was. The checkin process - flawless. The communication with the owners - consistent and so accommodating. The actual house was comfortable, clean and had everything we could ever need for a group of 7 girls. We walked everywhere since it was so close to downtown. I would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending this house to friends and family.

Perfect stay for our 3-generation family

This beautiful home was so well equipped for our 3-generation family - kitchen was better stocked than mine, games, beach towels and chairs. The best was a separate summer house where part of the group could read and relax while the others played a raucous card game. We walked everywhere in town and enjoyed several meals out. What a lovely time for all ages 8-74!

Great family home. Clean, comfortable,well appointed, close to everything New Buffalo has to offer. We parked our car and didn't move it for the whole stay. Our hosts were very helpful with casino shuttle information and restaurant recommendations. The home and yard are large. Our group of seven was very comfortable during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lorene D'Orazio

Host profile image
Thank you for considering the Barton Street Bungalow for your vacation home. We are the Lenga family; Bill, Lorene, Marisa. We live in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in the City of Chicago and have been visiting the Harbor Country area since we were young kids. As a young couple we rented homes in nearly every beachside community stretching from Sheridan Beach, Indiana to Lakeside, Michigan. Finally, we purchased our cottage in Union Pier nearly 26 years ago, shortly after our daughter Marisa was born. Today, Marisa is a fourth year medical student at Loyola Medical school and has recently gotten married. As we enter into our retirement years , we find ourselves spending most weekends and nearly all summer in Harbor County. We truly love the simple joys that our home in Union Pier has brought to our lives. The time we spend here is focused on family, friends and neighbors all here in a common bond of enjoying the magnificent natural beauty of the area; the intimacy of the small town feel; the personal touch experienced at the local merchants; the bounty of the orchards, vineyards and veggies and the pleasures of the local dining, wineries, breweries and distilleries.

We have a keen interest in architecture, design and horticulture. That said, we love old houses and particularly craftsman style bungalows. The Barton Street Bungalow is the second renovation of an Arts and Crafts style house we have undertaken in the area with the first being our cottage in Union Pier. Here we made improvements to the home, worked with a local craftsman to design and build most of the furniture and finally, we designed the landscape planting over 260 trees and shrubs and several hundred perennials in our gardens. Last, we designed and built all of the hardscape including the Summer House and decks that were built around one of three of our nearly 100 year old maple trees that are the center piece of the landscape. We hope you find our efforts are worthy of your stay.

Why they chose this property

The home’s location and charm is what sold us on this old house. Although it is only a quick seventy-five mile car or train ride from the city, New Buffalo and all of Harbor Country acts as the perfect get-away from hectic city life and provides the ideal location for rest, relaxation, and, most importantly, quality family time. With all of the activities like bike riding through the farm country, kayaking down the Galien River, or relaxing by the gorgeous Lake Michigan waters, New Buffalo is the perfect place to create lasting memories for years to come.

What makes this property unique

Within the heart of New Buffalo, the Barton Street bungalow is the perfect “home away from home.” The lovely interior and exterior rooms and landscape, provides a resort like feel to this charmed arts and crafts style cottage. The bungalow is walking distance to all amenities and attractions, such as the grocery store, local shops, and restaurants. A short three-block walk brings guests to the harbor and public beach access. Additionally, the bungalow has a large yard space and outdoor area that is perfect for children to play and adults to entertain large groups. Whether it be a romantic getaway or a family reunion, the Barton Street Bungalow is the ideal place to create amazing memories to last a life time!
