Great Cottage

The cottage was the perfect size for my husband and I. We absolutely loved the back screened in porch. It is located near everything but felt like you were tucked away in the woods. We even saw a momma deer and her two babies.

Cozy weekend getaway!

The perfect stay for a weekend in New Buffalo. Accommodations were clean and as described. The bed was so comfy and we really enjoyed having a bonfire one night. Easy walking distance from so many great spots. Local recommendations by the host were also much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

Cute and cozy

We stayed the weekend to enjoy Lake Michigan beaches and downtown New Buffalo. The large screened porch makes you feel like you’re in the woods. The main living space is comfortable and well designed. Within walking distance of downtown NB. I would stay again.

Love the location to downtown New Buffalo. Back deck was secluded and quiet. Front fire pit offered wonderful s’mores after dark. Charcoal grill was a nice touch.

Superb location in New Buffalo

Great location for a New Buffalo visit. Far enough away to be super peaceful but close enough to walk to anything downtown you would like. We walked to Stray Dog, Oink’s, and the Hummingbird Lounge. Bikes provided were a plus and we took them for a cruise. Great place overall and the amenities matched everything that was described in the listing. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

This cottage is fantastic!

My husband and I spent the weekend in New Buffalo and rented this cottage. We loved everything about it. It was very homey and extremely close to town. I am the definition of a homebody but I didn’t want to leave once we got there! The owners answered all of our questions and booking was very easy. We will be back next year!

Perfect spot for Sister’s Trip

Had the best getaway with my sister here. The cottage is so charming, peaceful and absolutely idyllic. Surrounded by trees, the cutest yard, and the secluded screened in porch, we couldn’t have asked for more. Perfect location to walk and/or ride the two cute beach cruisers provided by the hosts everywhere. Hosts were super responsive and all of their local recommendations were spot on! Will absolutely stay here again and can’t recommend this property enough!

Quiet & Relaxing

The cottage provided ample room for our three night stay. The cottage is set off the street a bit so it’s fairly secluded. Very quiet nights, too! All the kitchen and bathroom basics are included. We enjoyed the screened in porch each morning.

So Perfect

This cottage is an absolute joy. It’s the perfect blend of Anne of Green Gables/Beach/English Countryside. We stayed here to celebrate our 20th anniversary and it was perfect. Everything in New Buffalo is very nearby for a short drive or nice walk. We spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the adorable cottage. The screened porch is fabulous. Even the shed is adorable! We will be back!!!

College Friends Weekend in New Buffalo!

My two college friends and I stayed at the Cottage and enjoyed it very much. It is in a great location, we walked everywhere; to all of the shops, restaurants and the beach. Enjoyed walking through the neighborhood in the evening as well. It was a great place to reunite. Loved sitting on the porch talking and catching up. The only issue for us was not having a full frig or stove. Would definitely stay here again!

Quiet Location Close to Everything

What a treat staying here. It is an easy 1/4 mile walk into town and about a mile to the beach. The house is equipped with everything you need for the beach with chairs and towels. The bed and furniture was very comfortable. As in every previous review, the screened in porch was awesome. I felt as if I was in the middle of the woods. Even 10 wild turkeys walked within 10 feet of the porch one afternoon. Definitely enjoyed our stay.

Perfect little getaway

Three of us travelled up for a short beach getaway and this was exactly what we needed. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and the spacious screened in porch. The kitchenette was just enough for breakfasts, drinks and snacks. Location was fantastic being walking distance to downtown and the beach. And, although it is in a neighborhood you would never know. Sitting on the back porch was like being in a woodsy cabin with plenty of privacy. We will definitely be coming back!
