You couldn’t ask for a sweeter spot for your southwest Michigan getaway than this cozy two-bedroom cottage in New Buffalo. This 1200-square-foot home lives large, with an airy main floor, a huge enclosed sunroom, deck, and extra sleeping space upstairs in the loft. In the warmer months, grab a book and spend the morning in the sunroom. That hammock strung between two trees, just past the above-ground pool, is another likely candidate for whiling the morning away. When you get hungry, make breakfast in the well-equipped, full kitchen, and then grab one of the benches at the kitchen table to dine together.

When you decide to venture out, you’re about two miles to the New Buffalo Public Beach and only about a mile and a half to downtown New Buffalo, with its many unique shops, bars, and restaurants. Hiking and cross country ski trails are right across the street, with more only a block or so north. In the evening, screaming-fast internet will help you stream your favorite shows on the wall-mounted smart TV in the living room. Or, head out and visit one of the breweries Michigan is so well-known for, with several within 10 miles. Even better, grab your beverage of choice and head back outside to one of the two firepits to watch as the night stars fill the sky.

Things to Know:
Streaming with guest accounts
Above-ground pool from Memorial Day until right after Labor Day
Central AC plus window unit in the loft

Love the area
House was acceptable and as pictured. They weren’t kidding when they said low ceilings on second floor. Just remember to duck! Note 2nd bedroom is also upstairs and low ceilings.

No heater in pool water was too cold for swimming
Who in the Midwest would rent a house with a pool and no heater we couldn’t use the pool because the water was cold first thing that happened was I got a splinter from the railing going into the property The furniture was very uncomfortable in the main living room you sink in the sleeping sofa very uncomfortable chair arm was broken furniture needs to be updated to better than garage sale rejects none of the lights in the living room worked Kitchen supplies are also garage sale items could be updated No shampoo or soap for showers and ran out of toilet paper and garbage bags day 2 called for more and was told no We also ran out of dishwasher pod’s If someone is staying for a full week with 8 people they need more supplies they shouldn’t have to go buy this stuff We have rented a lot of vacation spots and this one needs a lot of work to get up to par

Pleasant Getaway
The property was very private - surrounded by trees and foliage. The pool was large and clean - such fun for the kids. The house was lovely - very comfortable and well stocked. The service was immediate and pleasant. All in all a great experience worth repeating!
