The perfect family getaway

The cottage was pristine, clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfect! Can’t say enough positive things. We cooked most meals at the house and it was well stocked with supplies. The pool was a big hit with the kids - it’s a stones throw from the house, wasn’t crowded, and was very scenic nestled among the trees. A 5 min drive from town, we enjoyed the beach, ice cream at Nancy’s, dinner at Stray Dog, and breakfast at Beer Church. In the evenings we enjoyed a fire in the fire pit with a gorgeous overlook of the pond. Smart TVs made it easy to unwind with Netflix between activities. Highly recommend this rental for families looking for a low stress, beautiful getaway! Thank you!

Relaxing retreat

This is a beautifully decorated, clean, relaxing property. The pool was the perfect spot in the evenings after the beach. The fishing pond was a fun feature, while we didn’t catch any fish we saw a snapping turtle and several deer. Hope to stay here again in the future.

Great new property

Kids loved the pool and convenient location near town and beach. The house is brand new and still has that new smell. Very stylish and open floor plan. Would recommend to anyone looking for a vacation spot in New Buffalo
