Cozy New Buffalo cottage with hot tub & fire pit. Short walk to downtown!

You are walking distance to downtown, restaurants & the beach. New Buffalo has a well known wine trail to enjoy with some great hiking. Take a dip in our steamy hot tub or roast marshmallows in our fire pit! Rain in the forecast...no worries we have plenty of board games or cozy up on the couch and read a good book.

Top Notch Lake Cottage!

We had a great time staying at the lake cottage! It was absolutely perfect. Layout is great, very comfortable, all of the amenities (appliances, towels, great hot tub and patio), and location is superb. Lots of great memories!

Spring Break Getaway

Our family enjoyed spending some time off in New Buffalo. Brittany's home gave us this opportunity to enjoy New Buffalo and the surrounding area. It was nice to end our days by enjoying the hot tub or time by the fire. Brittany was an excellent host, responding to a few of our questions in a timely manner. We very much enjoyed our stay!!

Great Fall Getaway

We had a wonderful fall getaway with our elderly parents at this house! It was located near many restaurants and close to the town. The house was well equipped with spices, toiletry supplies, paper towels, trash bags and other essentials. Brittany was very easy to contact when we had a question and replied quickly. The house was adorable and the hot tub lovely. We would rent this house again in the future.

Perfect stay at a wonderful New Buffalo home!

We had a great weekend stay with friends! While we only needed two of the bedrooms, the third room with trundle twins would make it a great family stay as well and we will definitely rebook on our next visit to New Buffalo. Brittany was a great host and extremely helpful and responsive. The home was darling and everything you could need was there...even down to extra toiletries. The back deck and hot tub area is very private and spacious too. We loved our stay!

Friends Reunion

This is our second stay at this property though now owned by a different person. The house is beautiful. The living room seating is fantastic for three ladies to sit and catch up and talk and talk and talk. Beds are comfy. Everything you need is supplied in the kitchen. A great game table, likely meant for eating breakfast, is immediately off the kitchen. Hot tub is a huge plus as is the wonderful outdoor seating. All is clean. We walked to Ghost Isle Brewey, a good restaurant with lots of choices. You are very close to Galien River preserve, a beautiful place to walk though temporarily closed due to storm damage. Within minutes drive to the Staymaker restaurant in Three Oaks. Try to take in a show at the Acorn theater if you go. New Buffalo has a beautiful beach, perfect for catching the sunset. Very easy check in and great communication with the owner. I would stay here every time I visit New Buffalo.

Great place and close to everything!

We had a great time at this place with the fam! The backyard had everything we needed for a great time. Fire pit, couch, table and a hot tub. We spent a lot of time back there. The location was perfect right by a good brewery and redamaks and a quick drive to the beach or Main Street. Brittany was very nice responsive and even let us extend our stay when we were having such a good time and wanted to stay another day. I would Definitely recommend this place!

My boyfriend’s Family has been coming to new Buffalo since the 80s. We decided to continue through addition and join his family with our own space. The home was absolutely adorable! The owner of the property was great with communication and takes extreme pride in the rental. We felt so comfortable and cozy. Great location! And got the best night sleep every night! Can’t wait to return to continue the tradition next year.
