Monica was always responsive.

Overall a great stay!

Very homey place, comfortable, great location, lots of space and even a forest behind the house to stroll out into. Cherry Beach is not even a mile away and is a Beautiful beach. Loved the fire pit and the screened in very homey place, comfortable, great location, lots of space and even a forest behind the house to stroll out into. Loved the fire pit and the screened in tiki porch. Monica was very welcoming and Took care of all of our needs. Definitely coming back to this cottage.

Friendly, informative and helpful.

The property was incredible. Very clean, very organized and had a unique atmosphere. Half a block walk and we were at the beach. It was the perfect getaway. Thank you!

top notch service--attention to detail--always striving for excellence!

I only interacted with Monica on the phone about billing, but it was short and sweet and she was professional and helpful.

Perfect location, just down the street from a nature center. I would say the only thing that detracted from the property was that it was slightly overgrown. Like the bush that grows by the front door could be trimmed back quite a bit so there's more than one person-width of space on the front steps. Also, just the plantings immediately around/surrounding the house were all pretty overgrown, which, aside from the front porch wasn't an issue, but curb appeal-wise, wasn't attractive. We loved it regardless. We would stay there again in a heartbeat, and probably will the next time we come up to visit family.

Very friendly and this property was very easy to book

We had a great vacation in New Buffalo!!

Monica was great and was always available. She made sure we knew everything we needed to know and we felt comfortable that if any issues came up she would take care of them. Thankfully that wasn't necessary but it was nice to know there was someone to reach if needed.

The Harbert House was very clean and modern and the area was beautiful. The outdoor space was great and we spent the majority of our time at the beach or out on the decks. The hot tub was awesome! We brought our dog and didn't have any issues. We read the review about the swamp and were a bit worried but the area around the property was dry while we were there. But i would say that if you bring a dog the beach is probably a better place to let them roam as we read warnings about Michigan and the risk of ticks. This area very wooded and the walk to the beach was on a lovely road surrounded by trees. We really felt like we were away from it all. However, dog owners should be sure to check for ticks if they let their dogs roam. overall a great place!

Reliable. Never have had any kind of issues and Ive rented many times.

The house is in a great location - walking distance to the beach and short commute times to neat places like Journeyman or Greenbush. The house itself is really big. Great for big groups of people. Alot of options like games, hot tub etc.

The house was spacious, well maintained and featured great amenities. The location near the beach meant we could enjoy bonfires by the lake. The hot tub was great to relax in at the end of the night. Overall it worked out perfectly for our vacation.

The Harbert House is a great escape that relatively close to Chicago (90 minutes), and close to the SW Michigan attractions we love to visit (St. Joe, Sawyer, Three Oaks, New Buffalo) - as well as Warren Dunes, which we love. The place is well kept and is nicely cared for with new paint, kitchen countertops, hardwood flooring and a perfect deck and hot tub. It's tucked into the woods and wetlands, so it's relatively private. The beach is pristine.

The house has everything-it is modern with a fantastic layout for a single family, or many families. Easy too for families with small children or babies as there is a full bedroom within (adjacent to) the master bedroom. Good Internet for extended trips that require attention to the office. The outdoor space is a huge bonus, including the hot tub. We frequently have dinner on the patio. The area is gorgeous and within a community where there are not busy streets. Plus, it's a 6 minute walk to the beach and the beach is fantastic-easy swimming and playing. Also available for fires in the evening-great for s'more gatherings! If it rains, there's a video game table for the kids (e.g. Centipede, etc.) and a host of board games. Harbert House is a 5-10 minute drive from Sawyer and New Buffalo where there is shopping and great restaurants.

Monica was the best.

Beautiful home in a great location that made escaping to the beach extremely easy.

Monica was responsive to inquiries and provided great information on activities to do in the area.

Our stay in the property was lovely!

The team was very communicative and was able to give me directions, to make sure I didn't get lost.

Enjoyed my stay at the Heidelbrook. My family and I were able to spend time with our family in Michigan and was very enjoyable with this property.

We enjoyed the area and the house so much, we were already planning what week we want to come back next year. I wouldn't even bother looking around at other properties. The Breakaway was PERFECT. It's hard to find a comfortable home to fit 10 without it feeling like a college dorm. Here, the house just feels like home, and the open floor plan gives everyone the opportunity to either be together, or go off on our separate ways.
