Here’s the thing: the holidays are magical… and a little chaotic. Instead of cramming everyone into your house and blowing up air mattresses, opt for a vacation rental home designed for connection.
Holiday vacation rentals in New Buffalo, Union Pier, Grand Beach, Michiana, and St. Joseph offer more space to celebrate, sleep comfortably, and make memories. All the togetherness you want, with the breathing room to actually enjoy it.
Holiday Vacation Rentals With Space for Family Gatherings
Vacation rentals offer the comfort of home but with room for everyone to settle in and stay awhile.
- Spacious living rooms give everyone a comfortable space to gather for card games, holiday movies, and those “just one more story” moments by the fire.
- Private bedrooms with real beds ensure everyone sleeps well and wakes refreshed for another day of holiday fun.
- Outdoor spaces for crisp evenings around the fire, making memories you’ll talk about for years to come.
- Extra amenities like game rooms, hot tubs, bunk rooms, so both kids and adults stay entertained throughout the holiday.
- We have more than 25 pet-friendly vacation rentals so your canine companion can come along!
A Fully Equipped Kitchen for Your Holiday Feast
Whatever your family traditions involve, turkey, tamales, latkes, or a new recipe everyone’s excited to try, the kitchen is where the heart of the holiday lives.
- Full-size kitchens are stocked for real cooking, so preparing a holiday meal is easy and enjoyable.
- Ample counter space so you can make Christmas cookies without bumping into each other.
- Large dining tables ensure everyone has a place at the table not spread across multiple rooms.
- Slow mornings feel extra special when they include pancake breakfasts, cozy pajamas, and fresh coffee for the whole crew.
Skip the Hosting Stress at Home
Hosting at home often means days of preparation before anyone even arrives. This year, give yourself permission to relax.
- You don’t have to reorganize your entire home just to make space for guests.
- You don’t have to worry about running out of dishes, chairs, or linens.
- You don’t have to spend the evening cleaning when you’d rather be enjoying the moment.
With a vacation rental, everything is ready when you arrive, a welcoming space designed for celebrating from the very first toast.
This year, let the holidays feel like a vacation, not a project.
