Besides being super-close to the many popular restaurants, galleries, and boutique shops of downtown New Buffalo, you’re just a short distance from a number of truly majestic, crystal-sand Lake Michigan beaches! Plus, you can enjoy the many activities afforded by being a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor – including boat and other watercraft rentals, fishing expeditions, and day or evening cruises – as well as all sorts of woodland, lake, and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore.
Lest we forget to mention it, the stunning Warren Dunes State Park is close by, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, beachfront, wetland trails, and extraordinary birdwatching! You and your guests might also relish visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment, and tennis courts.

• Local breweries
• Local wineries
• Art galleries
• Antique shops
• Golf courses
…and more!
The Neighborhood:
Just 70 miles from downtown Chicago, New Buffalo is the gateway to Michigan and a historic Lake Michigan beach town. There are plenty of shops, places to eat, and recreational offerings. Beyond the legacy of summer fun, find a community of hosts and creatives sharing their love of art, culture, and craft throughout the year. New Buffalo is also the location for Southwestern Michigan’s first gambling casino, the Four Winds Casino Resort, and Silver Creek Event Center – the place for concerts featuring headliner entertainment plus conferences and special events.
Getting Around:
• I-94 Exits 1 & 4
• US-12 & M-239
We highly recommend a personal vehicle to get around and explore the local area. Those arriving by boat will find an around-the-clock public boat launch and a full service transient dock facility. There is an Amtrak Station in New Buffalo (225 North Whittaker St.) that offers service to Chicago, as well as Ann Arbor and Detroit. The South Shore Line, another option for a day trip to Chicago, stops in Michigan City, IN about 10 minutes’ drive from the house.
We will provide you with a helpful virtual guide prior to check-in that showcases a comprehensive list of area eateries, attractions, parks and more.

The house had plenty of spaces indoors and outside for the family to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped; accommodations were great with plenty of towels, washcloths, and beds.
The house has the feel of a 3-story log cabin, gorgeous landscaped property with an abundance of trees for privacy Each room was very comfortable, simple decor and plenty of room. The amenities were awesome with hot tub, movie theatre, community pool and clubhouse with pool and beach accessories lots of seating outside, two washers and dryers, and fully equipped kitchen. We also had immediate help with Juniper Holiday & Home listing agent. Highly recommend.agent
The house was fantastic with a nice layout so each family had their own area plus enough Adirondack chairs around the fire pit for all to use. Hot tub was wonderful, and community pool was only 30 yards from the house and was never crowded. We plan to go back next year!
Beautiful house within walking distance of town and a quick drive to the beach. Community pool was very nice and the backyard was fantastic. Will definitely recommend
The house is well maintained and the outdoor areas were fabulous. We all enjoyed the firepit and hot tub and the community swimming pool was only steps away down the hill. The location was secluded yet close enough to town to walk (a good stretch of the legs). It was an easy 2 block walk to Redamak's - the best burger place ever.
We had two families with five kids under five and had a wonderful getaway to kick of the new year. Great time using the hot tub, fire pit for s'mores, movie theater room, and playing games by the fire. Owners were very commmunicative and helpful! You do have to go through two bedrooms to get to other parts of the house- which is quirky but was not an issue for us at all. There's a playground in walking distance which was also great. Loved exploring New Buffalo- had great dining experiences at Postboy, The Stray Dog, and Journeyman Distillery in nearby Three Oaks. Would totally return!
This is the first of hopefully many annual vacations for our family, adult children, their spouses and children.
The moose house was great. In itself it was an explorer. Lots of bedrooms, bathrooms and dormer closets extra fun for children.
The kitchen was great. Lots of dishes, pots and pans to use. We cooked in every night. There were nine of us with two babies.
The clubhouse and pool are one minute away. Unexpectedly nice clean and fun.
Communication with the location manager was absolutely excellent. Any query or assistance I needed it was addressed immediately. Really liked having that comfort.
If you go into town or the beach, Everything is very close and new Buffalo is a sweet clean and family friendly place. Just like the moose house. Thank you.

A nice place for a family vacation
I'll start with the good: The house has enough bedrooms to have had our family come and spend some time with us on vacation and not be all on top of each other. Loved the pool access. Did not appreciate that the listing for the house is for 14 people but you could only have 10 people at the pool. We absolutely LOVED the theater room. It was so fun to watch shows and movies in there. The house was in a great location. We loved the firepit and the sticks for marshmallow roasting that were provided were great. We also enjoyed the hot tub.
The not so good: For being a premium listing, the house was not as clean as I would have expected. The fridge was straight up dirty. The counters in the kitchen were dirty. We had to clean ourselves when we got there. There were crumbs on the ground and fingerprints on all the appliances and windows. And dust and cobwebs throughout the entire house. Luckily we found the bedding to be clean, which was my main concern. But it was disappointing to have a dirty kitchen and dusty house for the amount of money you pay to stay here. We were supposed to have two bundles of wood upon arrival, but there was no wood. I emailed the property company and got a response that said the wood was in the garage. This was confusing as the garage was all locked up and we had no access. After back & forth, they did drop off wood two days later.
This was a perfect base for our visit to New Buffalo. It is close enough to everything. There was enough gathering spaces for our family. The house is cute and and had everything we needed.
Our extended family had a great time in this lovely home. We enjoyed the shared pool, hot tub, and easy public beach access. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped . We hope to return in the future.
We had such a great experience staying here! Communication with Cailin was great and she answered all of our questions quickly! We can’t wait to come back and stay here again!
We loved the “Moose”. We had two homes cancel, one changed management, one double booked, VRBO was so helpful and we found a perfect house for our family weekend! We definitely want to go back! Thank you!
Centrally located in New Buffalo, this property has it all for a group of family or friends. It’s walkable to restaurants and brew pubs and even the beach. On property, the special amenities such as community pool, theatre room, fire pit and hot tub make Moose Lodge a gem. Property was very clean. Clear communication with the property manager and overall a great place to stay with your group!
We had a group of 8 adult friends staying at the property and we were so happy with our stay. The home is beautiful and was very clean. All the rooms and beds we super cozy and comfortable with nice furniture and decor. There was plenty of space for the 8 of us. A couple highlights were the awesome huge home theater and the hot tub which was the perfect temperature! The neighborhood was nice, quiet and felt very safe, plus is a great location close to restaurants and bars in downtown New Buffalo. We would definitely consider staying here again!
Our stay during Christmas weekend was perfect! The house had plenty of space for our 2 families of 4, plus Grandma and our dogs. The bedrooms were comfortable and cozy! The fenced in yard was so easy with our dogs. The movie room was a hit! We even watched football games on the big tv! The kitchen was gorgeous and well stocked with all the dishes and utensils. The staff was so attentive and excellent at communicating with us! We are already planning a trip back in warmer weather!
The Wolf Lodge is amazing! The floor plan is ideal for a large family group. Everyone had private space but still felt cozy in the open living/dining/kitchen. Two of the bedrooms had walk throughs to other areas which is a bit odd, but no problem for us. The movie theater was amazing!! Especially for our winter trip... AND we were there on Super Bowl Sunday which was cool! If I could improve one thing, it would be the mattresses. Most are older, sagging and/or squeaky, otherwise this was a 5-star experience!!!
