Overview

With incredible wall-to-wall windows that let the natural light pour in, this quaint cottage tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of New Buffalo will place you mere blocks from the heart of downtown. Step inside to find a beautifully maintained, air-conditioned space with whimsical decor, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen and dining area that give the home a decidedly spacious feel. Enjoy a kitchen with every essential and a peninsula breakfast bar, a dining space with a beautiful wood table, and a living room with a large, comfortable sectional sofa, a gas-powered fireplace, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Soak up the summer sunshine outside on the front deck, where cafe tables and chairs overlook the large, fenced-in yard with a lush lawn, mature trees, and an in-ground firepit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs. There's also a rear patio with a grill for outdoor cooking, a table with seating for four, and an outdoor shower to welcome you home from New Buffalo Beach (three-quarters of a mile north) each afternoon. At night, two comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen-size bed and one with a pair of twin beds - and a full bathroom are adjacent to the kitchen. And for those who love a nice stroll, downtown New Buffalo is only a two blocks away, offering great shopping and wonderful eateries.

The property is the perfect location for New Buffalo adventures!

Denise L2025-09-14

Loved the location. Close to town. We could walk everywhere. Loved the fire pit and they left us wood.

Josh W2025-09-02

Great cottage right near the heart of town. Good for young families visiting for the first time.

Tanya N2025-08-19

We have stayed at multiple properties in New Buffalo and this house is by far our favorite. It's the perfect size for a family of four. Perfect location- quiet neighborhood but walkable to the bustling grocery store, shops and restaurants in town. We loved sitting in the front yard area in the mornings and roasting s'mores in the evenings. Home was very clean upon arrival and beds were very comfortable for us (especially coming from a hotel stay where the beds were much too soft and we were literally rolling onto one another). Lots of personal quirky decor that added to the charm and family feel of the place. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip!
