Pool, Private Hot Tub, Fire Pit. Peaceful. Close to action. Escape to our charming vacation home nestled in the heart of an old growth forest, just moments from downtown New buffalo. Seamlessly blending privacy with proximity, the cottage at new buffalo offers the best of both worlds. We are set far enough away from Route 12 to hear any traffic. Our home is your own personal oasis. Gather around the crackling fire pit with circular seating to enjoy s’mores under the starlit sky. Or, on another side of the property, a circle of adirondack chairs allows friends and family to watch you show off your cooking skills on the gas barbecue grill. On yet another side of the house, your private hot tub awaits for day time fun or relaxing, evening cocktails under the stars. (Enjoy peace of mind knowing our hot tub cleaning service visits just before you check-in.) Inside, the Cottage at New Buffalo welcomes you with an open-concept design, seamlessly connecting the kitchen, living area and dining table. On the first floor, there’s one comfortable bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a twin-sized bed and a second bedroom, “the Bunk Room,” with a twin/full bunk bed and a twin/twin bunk bed. A full bathroom with shower/tub separates the two bedrooms. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with fan and a charming two-person, screened-in balcony. The primary bathroom features a large jacuzzi tub, a spacious walk in shower, and dual sinks and vanities, ensuring relaxation at every turn. The deck wraps around three sides of the home and is screened-in on two sides. One screened-in side faces the gas grill and its round seating area. The other screened side overlooks the "front" of the property and the fire pit. The open-air side of the deck features a round dining table, lounge chairs for sunning and the hot tub. Our community pool is a very short stroll from our doorstep, but far enough from pool noise. Dive into crystal-clear waters and soak up the sun on the poolside lounge chairs. For those seeking a bit of friendly competition, we've got you covered with our bags setup. Gather your family and friends for a spirited game of cornhole while you master the grill. We set it up “behind” the house, a fourth seating area, with an ice bucket. On the deck, you’ll find 4 tailgate chairs (with over-the-shoulder carrying straps) for you to take to the beach. Don't pack beach towels. We have them for you in the Bunk Room. New Buffalo's beautiful beach is at the end of Whitaker Road and has public parking. Don’t forget the other nearby amazing Lake Michigan beaches! The Indiana Dunes are just 30 minutes away and absolutely worth a visit. We're happy to provide most of the common necessities including toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, aluminum foil, garbage bags and some condiments. Need recommendations or have questions? Text (or call) us any time during your stay and we're happy to help. In advance, we’ll text you a list of “Things We Love,” to help you make plans. With the perfect blend of privacy and local adventure, the Cottage at New Buffalo promises a summer (or winter!) getaway filled with endless fun and relaxation.

We hope to host you soon. \*We book exclusively through VRBO.\* ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa -

This property was exactly what I had hoped it would be - a comfortable and casual home with a dream of a porch and every convenience. We loved the community pool and lovely neighborhood for a quick walk. The house was so welcoming and communicating with the owners was a breeze. A great home base for exploring the area! ##### Susan M.

This property is fantastic! It is in a subdivision, but the older trees, and other greenery make this so incredibly private you feel like you are in the woods. The screened in porch and outdoor space is quite expansive. There are so many little areas where you can gather as a group, or enjoy some time to yourself. The fire pit is terrific for smores, and the hot tub was a great feature for cooler evenings. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane P. 9 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house Great place to stay with your family. ##### Jane P.

She was a wonderful host, easy to get a hold of anytime and provided lots of great info about the area. She went above and beyond to provide start up supplies especially stuff for smores( big hit with the kids). We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the closeness of the lake and town for activities.

Our 6 family members of varying ages all had fun. House had everything we needed. In fact it was over equipped and could use some clearing out of extra furnishings such as towels. Porches are all screened; there are many places to sit and enjoy the trees and birds. Hot tub is a nice feature. Only negative was that the gas tank for the grill was empty. We would return. ##### Ruth L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise S. 17 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place for family to gather We enjoyed our stay. The house was delightfully decorated with a collection of fun wall, and nicknack decore. It is in great location where the town/beach is just a quick mile up the road. The community pool is just steps away, and the hot tub is on one of the decks. We used them both daily.The screened in decking around the house provided pockets of sitting areas for individual quiet time, and larger areas for family fun. If you forget a simple item from home, chances are you will find it there like games, kiddie pool, bag chairs, bug spray, firewood, basic kitchen and bathroom necessities, blankets, towels, soaps etc. If you ever have a question, the host, Diane, is always available in a timely manner. Her main concern was that my family was having a pleasant vacation. Thank you Diane for sharing your wonderful home with us. ##### Denise S.

Our family of 8 included 4 young kids - we all had plenty of space. The master was a dream as was the cozy kids bedroom. The home is very clean and well maintained with plenty of linens and supplies. The wooded location makes you feel like you are in the deep woods yet you’re so close to everything. The pool was perfect and family friendly, we had it to ourselves most of the time. Anything you need or want is a 5-10 min drive. Main highways take you into any shore town. We saw beautiful deer nearly daily on the trail behind the house. On the hottest days, the central A/C was powerful and movie nights were easy with new smart TVs in the two family rooms. Cooked in the homey kitchen daily as well. When we encountered an appliance issue, the owner was super responsive and took care of it immediately. The screened in wrap-around porch was a Lifetime movie set - reading books listening to the rain. Great home for families, friends or couples. Welcoming neighborhood and easy location. Don’t hesitate to stay here. ##### Pammy M.

It is right off of route 12 in a wooded community and very quiet and peaceful. The weather was uncomfortably hot the week we were there and a storm knocked out the electricity for 2 days, but the owner kindly allowed us to stay on a couple of days at no extra cost. The house is spacious and we made use of the amenities, ie. the grill, the wonderful front porch and the pool with our grandchildren. ##### Elizabeth S.

The décor in the house is absolutely amazing I just love all of your stuff. My kids loved having their own space and they were so excited about the pool, we spent most of our days in it. I hope we can return to your house one day. My favorite part is the screened in porch and the quietness of being there. It was so peaceful and we truly enjoyed our time. ##### Jennifer P.

It is located in a quaint wooded community with a pool. The property is secluded which makes you feel at one with nature. Loved seeing deer walk right by us as we relaxed on the hugh screened in porch. Great location to be able to enjoy the lake and all the area offers. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and the beds were super comfy. We plan to return and definitely want to stay here again! ##### Paula D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine M. 9 Jul 2018 #### Wonderful rental, quiet neighborhood! My husband and I and our two adult children, along with our son's friend, thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. This was our first time in the New Buffalo, MI area and we would love to return next summer. Having a full size washer and dryer available was a definite plus. The pool was also a nice feature, as on our last day, though beautiful outside, there was a beach hazard warning due to high waves. So we enjoyed the afternoon lounging at the pool instead. On two separate occasions, we had some deer come to visit in the neighborhood, which was a fun sight to see. I would add to the rental information to list the sizes/types of the beds available in each room. The listing does state it accommodates 6, but in the two downstairs bedrooms alone, there are enough beds to accommodate 6 people (a double and twin in one room and a twin and bunkbeds in the other). Then there is another bed in the upstairs master, as well, to accommodate 2 more people. The upstairs master suite was amazing and extremely relaxing, with its own private screened in porch and gorgeous garden tub/jacuzzi. The coffee maker is a Keurig, not a full-size coffeemaker; so it might be good to update the listing to let people know that. I would highly recommend this property to friends and family, and encourage future renters to explore the area, as there are many places off the beaten path that we discovered, traveling on the Red Arrow Highway that runs through the area. Barney's grocery store is only about 1.5 miles down the road and it is a full-service grocery, where we found everything we needed. This area is home to several micro-breweries and craft beer places that are fun to visit. There is even a distillery tour you can take at Journeyman's Distillery, which is close-by. All in all, we had a great time and would love to return to this beautiful home again. ##### Christine M.

It had everything we needed and more! The screened in porch was lovely, and the community pool was great for days when the waves at the beach were to big to swim. ##### Elizabeth R.

Our family has stayed at this cottage many times. We always come back because we love the place. We feel comfortable while there. Love to spend the day at the pool, beach or touring and return to the cottage later in the day. Sometimes we cook there and other times go to one of the area's great restaurants. The large porch is wonderful for socializing or just reading a book. Whatever we do we always leave with the feeling "it's a good thing we found this place." The owners are also very nice to deal with. ##### C B.

I have fallen in love with this little enclave, the trees, the birds and most of all this home. It wraps it's arms around you the moment you walk in. I will truly miss these double doors that open to the screen porch. Everything was just perfect! ##### Kathy S.

It's just a few blocks from the downtown action and beach but it seems like you're a million miles away. We sat outside late into the night just listening to the sounds of nature. The place is so relaxing. ##### Tracy K.

We spent a week at this cottage and had a really great time. The house had everything we needed, the private hot tub was a nice bonus, the pool was very nice and New Buffalo was a great little town. ##### Kathleen W.

I am somewhat hesitant to write how I felt about my stay at the Cottage at New Buffalo. (I'm afraid that if I want it back, it will be rented and unavailable!!!) I am a writer and was looking for a getaway nook in the woods. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew I had found the place people would dream of! Spacious, welcoming, well-appointed and a great place to relax. The great room with the corner fireplace screamed at me! The decks and outdoor areas in every direction invited me to stay and enjoy nature. The upstairs bedroom and sitting area is cosy and roomy at the same time. I planned to stay for a month and didn't leave for seven!!!! The best value in the area!!!! Seriously... take a look! Mary, Illinois ---
