Girls Weekend
This property is wonderful! It was very clean and had everything we could have needed. It’s a very short walk to the private beach and close to town. We will be back! Had a wonderful stay. Fire pit and hot tub were a big plus.

Perfect for family of 4
Had a wonderful long weekend with our family of 4 here. Property was spotless, hot tub was very clean, kids loved their bedroom, kitchen was well stocked and the beach was a very short walk. Host was amazing! Best host we’ve ever had. The beach was beautiful!! Lots of restaurants and things to do less than 15 min drive. Would love to come back again!

Girl weekend
I took my mother, daughter, and one of her friends for a two night stay. This was absolutely perfect! Charming, cute, clean, every amenity you could want and the location (about a 3 block walk and typical Lake Michigan staircase) to the beach cannot be beat, easy little drive to New Buffalo or Union Pier. I don’t want to say too much because I want to keep this gem for myself!

Such an amazing location
I absolutely love the location of this house, the walk to the beach is very short and the beach never had more than 10 people on it (weather was not amazing during our stay). New buffalo is such a cool town, we loved how laid back everything was. The one thing I'll note is that the town basically closes at 9:30pm, we arrived late on our first night and had to backtrack 20ish minutes to a larger town to get groceries. The communication from the host was phenomenal and every detail was thought through at this house. I had never been to lake Michigan before but all we've talked about on the car ride home is how soon we'll be coming back!

A perfect place to stay
This home was perfect for our stay in New Buffalo! Our family of four loved the home and used it well. The home is well thought out and comes filled with everything you need for a stay -the owner has truly thought through all of the aspects to creating a cozy getaway home. The mosquitos made outdoor play and relaxation a bit hard, we had to double down on bug repellent and therefore didn’t enjoy outdoor time as often as we may have otherwise. Otherwise it was great. A short walk to the beach access and enough tree cover to feel like you’re hidden away even when there are actually quite a few houses nearby. We enjoyed our stay here.

Could not have been better!
I can't say enough good things about Beth & her property - spotlessly clean, everything practically brand-new, every amenity we were looking for & more (she's literally thought of everything!) & flawless communication. She went above & beyond to accommodate our every request (was there an extension cord here? No, but she'd drop one off. Is there a trick to the grill? No but she'd come look at it. Trouble w/ the entry code? She came out & changed the batteries & brought extra keys (even though the code confusion was 100% our fault!) She even treated us to dinner to 'make up' for what was truly a minor inconvenience - so generous. 12 out of 10 we would stay here again! Thank you Beth!

Very accommodating and great location!
I recently stayed at Beth’s cottage with my husband and toddler. Beth has truly thought of everything and the cottage had everything we needed. The backyard area is great. The beach is very close and there is a wagon to help carry everything. Downtown New Buffalo is about 2 miles away and it is a very nice walk if it’s not too hot. Beth even provided a great list of things to do in the area. We will definitely be back!

Great home - will visit again!
We had a fantastic time in New Buffalo during our weekend stay at this wonderful cottage. Everything was fully stocked and then some, they have thought of everything! For the beach there were towels, chairs, a wagon all ready to go along with tons of yard games and a fire pit and the hot tub was so clean. We loved cuddling with our kids on the window seat overlooking the backyard and had meals in the sunroom. The beach is very close just a quick walk down the street and it was never busy even on a beautiful weekend with perfect weather. We are planning our next trip back and hope to stay here again, thank you for sharing your home with us.

Cute, clean, welcoming beach house super close to private beach!
We've come to this area several times & this property quickly became a favorite. Having a bunch of young adults who don't want to sleep in the same space as each other makes travel tricky...but there were enough spaces for them to get the space they needed & sleep needed. The host is amazing...super responsive & everything we could have needed was right at our finger tips. I can't say enough good things about this cute bungalow

Perfect cottage to rest and relax in nature
Everything about the property was exactly as described and perfect for our long weekend getaway. The host is proactive and kind. The cottage looks just like the pictures and is the total package - clean, beautifully decorated, peaceful, and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing in the backyard and using the grill for dinner. Plus it’s close to all the New Buffalo businesses if you want to go to any restaurants and shops. Plenty to see and do at the cottage and in town. Book your stay! You won’t regret it.

Weekday Stay
If you are thinking of staying at this cottage, do it! The check in process was easy and communication was excellent with the property owner/manager. The cottage was extremely clean. The cottage had recently been renovated with really tasteful updates. The kitchen was very nice and well stocked with plates/cooking utensils as well. It was a short walk to the private beach. The area around the cottage was fairly secluded and very quiet. This stay was exactly what I was needing and I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect New Buffalo Getaway
We had a lovely time staying in Beth’s rental home in New Buffalo! The house was super clean, stylish, organized, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Beth reached out and offered help if needed. Beds and pillows were so comfortable. The house is a short walkable distance to the beach, downtown for shopping/restaurants, and a short bike ride away from the local Black Currant bakery. Would definitely recommend this rental!

Our stay was exceptional!
This newly renovated property was so tastefully decorated and the owner thought of everything! Beautiful decor and such a beautiful area with a 5 minute walk to Sturgeon beach. (Which we enjoyed a fall walk on the beach!) We were very close to a lot of great places in New Buffalo. I would suggest eating at Skips restaurant right up the road and enjoying a few wineries Thank you to our host for such a great place to make a very memorable weekend! I would highly recommend and hope to return soon!
