About this property

Wooded Michigan Retreat: 30 Min to Notre Dame - Sleeps 6

Escape to this quiet, comfortable basement apartment tucked into the wooded landscape of Buchanan, Michigan — where you're close to everything but feel a world away from it all.
Whether you're cheering on the Fighting Irish, chasing sunsets over Lake Michigan, or gearing up for a weekend at Redbud MX, this peaceful retreat puts it all within easy reach.

THE SPACE
This cozy two-bedroom apartment sleeps up to six guests and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The first bedroom features a queen bed — perfect for couples or anyone who just wants a good night's sleep. The second bedroom is set up for the crew, with two bunk beds that kids (and honestly, adventurous adults) love.
The full kitchen comes equipped with a range, stovetop, and microwave, so you can cook real meals instead of surviving on fast food all weekend. A full bathroom and in-unit laundry mean you can pack lighter and stay longer.
When the weather is right, step outside to the private patio area and take in the wooded backyard — quiet, green, and genuinely relaxing.

THE LOCATION
Buchanan sits in the heart of Southwest Michigan, and the location is one of this rental's best features:

Notre Dame — 30 minutes. Game weekends, campus visits, bowl season — you're golden.
Lake Michigan — Less than 30 minutes to stunning freshwater beaches. Warren Dunes State Park is practically in your backyard.
Redbud MX — 10 minutes. One of the most iconic motocross venues in the country. If you're coming for the race, this is your spot.
Wine & Brewery Trail — Southwest Michigan is wine country. Multiple award-winning wineries and craft breweries are within a short drive.
New Buffalo & St. Joseph — Charming lakeside towns with great restaurants, shops, and waterfront dining nearby.
Western Michigan Shoreline & the Upper Peninsula — You're at mile marker zero. Head north through the dunes, past Sleeping Bear, up to Mackinac and beyond — this is basecamp for one of the great American road trips.


PERFECT FOR:

Notre Dame game day groups
Families with kids
Motocross weekends at Redbud
Lake Michigan beach trips
Couples getaways with extra space for friends or family
Anyone who needs a peaceful base to explore Southwest Michigan
