Ferris' Retreat Full of ease, light, and mid-century style, this home in New Buffalo offers its very own heated swimming pool and a wonderful location four blocks from the beach. This stylish space features an open main-level living area with hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen. Step outside to take a dip in the sparkling pool, relax in the private backyard with an expansive patio overlooking a wooded ravine, or light the grill on the large deck to barbecue while keeping one eye on the pool. Guests can enjoy automatic heat up to 84 degrees - additional heating can be purchased before your stay. When you're not enjoying the great outdoors, you can play Ping-Pong and darts in the garage, or take the provided golf cart for a spin around the neighborhood. After a night spent soaking in the hot tub cozied up around the outdoor firepit or watching movies on one of the two cable-equipped TVs, you'll have your choice of five bedrooms. On the main floor are one king bedroom with an en suite bathroom, one queen bedroom, a third bedroom with a pair of twin beds, and another full bathroom. Downstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms - one with a queen bed, one with two twin bunk beds - and one more full bathroom. All three bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated. Woodlands Course At Whittaker is two-and-a-half miles away and Galien River County Park is six miles away. Visit Hesston Steam Museum, St. Julian Winery & Distillery Tasting Room, and Sandy Acres Clydesdales, all less than 10 miles from the property.
