Overview

This pool house near Lake Michigan is only two blocks from desirable Whittaker Street and walkable to everything New Buffalo has to offer including the beach, restaurants, shopping, ice cream, breweries, the marina, kayaking, bike trails, Barney’s grocery store, the library & the New Buffalo Farmer’s Market. You’ll feel like a local in this centrally located cottage tucked onto a quiet, well-established street surrounded by trees. You will enjoy a private escape while still being close to all the action in downtown New Buffalo. It’s an ideal getaway for a family vacation or a reunion trip with friends.

Inside, the main living space is filled with natural light courtesy of the bay windows and exudes character thanks to original, refinished hardwood floors. With an oversized sectional, it’s a hub for gathering any time of day and features a smart TV with streaming capabilities, as well as many books and games for kids and adults.

The well-equipped cottage style full kitchen is updated with new Corian countertops & stainless-steel appliances. The large adjacent dining room with seating for eight is perfect for gathering at mealtimes, working a puzzle or playing games. When the weather allows, step outside to the furnished patio, fire up the grill, and dine al fresco under the patio dining table umbrella.

The main level bedroom & full bath is perfect for individuals that prefer not to climb stairs and provides a great view of the backyard pool and landscaping. Upstairs you’ll find two more large bedrooms accommodating a total of 6 guests.

If you want indoor chill time, the home features high-speed WiFi and 4 TVs with a streaming cable service & additional streaming channels available using your own accounts.

When it's time to head out and explore, your location couldn't be better. Many guests rave about the ability to park the car upon check in and never need to drive again during their stay due to the proximity to all the above-mentioned. However, if you choose to explore further, the home is a short drive to golf courses, distilleries, The Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall, Skips Farmer’s Market, New Buffalo’s Splash Pad, Galien River County Park, Warren Dunes, Roundbarn Winery & casinos (free shuttle to Four Winds).

    Proximity and amenities are fantastic- can’t wait to book it again for our small group!

    Jennifer S2025-08-11

    Can walk to mostly everything in New Buffalo. Pool is great and was the highlight on the trip! Second floor does not have central AC, only window units in the bathroom and twin bedroom, no AC in the queen room. It can get hot in there. House was clean and kitchen stocked with utensils and plates etc.

    Tia L2025-05-22

    The location is fantastic! You really can walk to everything! The hot tub was super relaxing and there were plenty of beach towels. Unfortunately, because of the weather we weren’t able to check out the pool- maybe next time!

    Jack O2025-02-24

    We loved the location and the quiet street. We enjoyed the privacy of the hot tub with the fenced in yard . The home is within walking distance to everything even in the cooler weather and it was clean, comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the books and games & enjoyed sitting around the dining room table together. We'd definitely book again in the summer to enjoy the pool. The lake is just a short walk too.

    Lovely place for a getaway with friends!

    Taylor H2024-07-27

    Had a lovely getaway with my family for my mom’s 70th birthday. Everyone enjoyed the amazing pool and fire pit. We walked everywhere and had a great week. I would book again!
