The place was beautiful and perhaps the cleanliness place I have ever stayed. Great location and great price. Beware of the bottom floor units because if you get an inconsiderate couple above you then you will hear everything. Unfortunately the only bar in town burned to the ground and if you were looking for a nice bar overlooking the beautiful... More

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Lake Country Inn. Unlike so many inns, with wallpaper borders and gloomy antiques, LCI was bright and modern, yet still charming and inviting. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the location superb. Whether for a week or a weekend, it's a perfect getaway spot.

We really appreciate the review and your decision to stay with us. While it looks older, our building is a modern design that was built in 2005. Therefore, other things that we don't have are drafty windows, squeaky floors, or thin walls. Some other things we do have include a back-up power generator, tankless water heaters, well lit grounds, lots... More

We were visting New Buffalo to attend a concert on a Saturday at the Four Winds Casino. We didn't want to stay at the Casino for 2 nights so I found the Lake Country Inn on Tripadviser. After reading the reviews and looking at in online we decided to book it and we were not disappointed. We ended up deciding... More

So glad you chose us for your weekend accommodations in New Buffalo, and we appreciate your review very much. The Four Winds Casino really has a great live music schedule at both the Event Center and at the Hard Rock Cafe. Plus, if you don't want to drive, you can catch the free shuttle just around the corner. However, I... More

My wife and I had heard good things about New Buffalo and decided to take a long weekend trip for our anniversary. We decided to take the Amtrak from Chicago which was so convenient. The Inn is located about a block and a half away from the train right off the main downtown street. We arrived on Saturday afternoon and... More

Thank you so much for the review. We especially appreciate your great description of a weekend visit as a guest from Chicago coming over to New Buffalo on the Amtrak train. There are now five, outbound trains everyday from Union Station that stop in New Buffalo, and four inbound. Most trains are nonstop and roundtrip tickets are as low as... More

My husband, brother and sister-in-law just got back yesterday from New Buffalo and our expectaions were far surpassed with this charming Inn! The accomodations were immaculate and everything was so calm and quiet. Loved the fact there were no alarm clocks in the room so you could forget about time - we were there to relax with no pressure to... More

We are so pleased that your group enjoyed your visit with us. The Community room is a great space to relax and visit outside our main building. Both the Tower guest room and the Community room have gas fireplaces for some additional atmosphere and warmth now that it is fall. Every room has its own private bathroom with Kohler fixtures,...

We were in New Buffalo for the first time attending a wedding. Several family members booked rooms at this lovely "bed and breakfast". It was a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Each room has its own decor, and all are tastefully done with lovely large beds and antiques. Beach towels and chairs were... More

We have had a number of guests this year from outside the Midwest, and that always makes the atmosphere at our property even more interesting and fun.

Cute little place, everything looks new, centrally located, walking distance to everything. Staff very friendly. Breakfast not that great but we did wake up late-perhaps it was better earlier, no juice or anything to put in toaster provided but again we woke up late. Phenomenal toiletries, not that one stays for that reason, but the shower was huge and great,... More

My husband and I stayed in early August. We originally booked two nights, but loved this inn so much, we extended our stay another evening. We visited during the week as this inn is booked solid on weekends through September.

All rooms are newly remodeled and clean. The beds are awesome. The four seasons room and yard are a nice bonus. Owners and staff are very friendly and courteous. Located in the heart of town - 5 minute walk to the beach. Nice continental breakfast and drinks in fridge available all day. Book early because this place fills up quickly!
