Travel

Thanks for traveling to Michiana − where the Lake, Indiana & Michigan meet. Here are some places to stay, airports and other travel info. We do live on the state line boarder, in between two time zones as well: eastern and central time! Don't worry, it's a bit confusing to us locals too, just ask Ali if you have any questions! *Note* When searching for accommodations there are many small towns within driving distance. We suggest using Swingbelly's as a reference address when choosing where you want to stay. It's centrally located to all activities, and close to the lake!

Flight

Chicago Midway International Airport

Midway is Southwest's hub in the midwest. If you plan to fly Southwest this airport is for you!

Flight

O'Hare International Airport

Any other airline, except for Southwest, will fly into here! Super easy to jump on I-94 and make your to us.

Flight

South Bend International Airport

Smaller airport in South Bend, Indiana, but an option! Just 50 minutes away from New Buffalo/Michigan City.

Hotel

Marina Grand Resort

600 West Water Street
New Buffalo, MI 49117
 (855) 606-3669

This boutique hospitality group is amazing in the area. This waterfront hotel is modern, Scandinavian design and is great for families or anyone wanting a little bigger of a room style. They have an on property coffee shop and restaurant. If you're looking for a suite style stay this is for you! Their lofted suites have a full kitchen, dining area and living room for you to make yourself right at home.

Hotel

The Harbor Grand

111 West Water Street
New Buffalo, MI 49117
 (888) 605-6800

This hotel is newly renovated from the ground up. It's the same hospitality group at Marina Grand, and aesthetic is on point. This boutique waterfront hotel is a moodier vibe than the Marina Grand. If you're looking for standard room sizes, but incredibly thoughtful design and unmatched service they're sure to make you feel at home. This hotel has an on property Italian restaurant that we love. The head chef's name is Alberto, and he does handmade pasta better than anyone I know.

Hotel

Four Winds Casino Resort – New Buffalo

11111 Wilson Road
New Buffalo, MI 49117
 (866) 494-6371

This casino and resort is tucked away in the woods on an Indian reserve. You'll see huge timber beams, oversized fireplaces in the lobby, and a stay like you're in a massive cabin in the woods. The resort is away from the Casino floor, and has every room type imaginable. They have several dining options, and obviously gambling!
