OPENING THE 2027 RENTAL SEASON SOON (EMAIL TO BE PUT ON THE WAITLIST)

YEAR ROUND HOTTUB!

ONE OF THE TOP RENTALS IN SOUTHWEST MI. FEATURED IN SEVERAL VACATION RENTAL MAGAZINES.

⚠ 5 NIGHT MIN. required during peak summer season (June 19th thru Aug 23rd).

Experience the beauty of Harbor Country from this secluded log cabin retreat, set on six private acres with over 500 feet of the Galien River wrapping around the back side of the property. Located just a five minute drive from downtown New Buffalo, area beaches, Four Winds Casino, and local wineries, this home offers the perfect blend of nature and convenience.

Spanning over 3,000 square feet across three levels, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin is designed for relaxation. Cozy up by the fireplace, take in the breathtaking views from the 850-square-foot deck, or soak in the outdoor hot tub, available year-round. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or stargazing by the fire pit, this home provides a peaceful escape from everyday life.

Inside, the thoughtfully designed interior offers the comforts of home without the typical “rental feel.” Fully equipped with modern amenities, the open-concept layout is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Privacy is unmatched—no neighbors in sight, just the serenity of the surrounding woods.

For those looking to explore, New Buffalo is just a five-minute drive away, offering charming shops, renowned restaurants, wineries, and a full-service spa.

Unplug, unwind, and rediscover relaxation in this one-of-a-kind Galien River retreat.

Our Cousins’ GetawayMy family and I planned a cousins-only getaway, and it was ah-mazing! We laughed until we cried, shared stories, and made memories that will last a lifetime. It was such a special time, just for us cousins.The house was beautiful—cozy and perfect for our little reunion. The water didn’t get quite as hot as I like, and the basement air was freezing, but honestly, none of that could take away from how much fun we had.Grateful for moments like these. #FamilyTime #CousinsTrip #Grateful
