Charming & cozy in-town retreat in the heart of New Buffalo

This unique and charming cottage located just steps away from downtown New Buffalo, in the heart of Harbor country. Perfect for a Chicago family getaway, or a romantic retreat. The interior is bright and has an open floor plan, including a kitchen built for creating amazing meals! The yard is large and private with a grill, table, outdoor chairs, and a large fire pit, firewood included. The cottage has wireless internet and cable. Amenities include a spacious back yard, dual flush toilet, radiant floor heat in bathroom, and energy star appliances. A backyard shed includes two adult bikes and we're just a few blocks away from Beer Church and Lions Pavillion Park and Beach. *New fenced in back yard so the pups can roam a bit more freely (just be sure to double check the gate :)

*Please note that we have an exterior camera positioned to view the front door. This camera is for both security reasons and to help guests that might have any issues gaining access to the home.

Great Weekend out of the City
Location is great and back yard is awesome for our dog to run and relax. Was just what my wife and I were looking for. Short distance from downtown Chicago but far enough away for some quiet time.

Gorgeous and cozy
We absolutely loved staying here. Fenced in back yard for our pup and the cottage layout and decor was a masterful mix of functional design and intelligent architecture. The hosts were super friendly. We visit the area often and are looking forward to staying with Marcus and Tony again.

Fabulous Friends
AMAZING! We had only two nights, but wished we’d had several more. Our first night, we sat by the fire pit- so relaxing. The cottage had so many small touches including a gift basket upon arrival, quality soaps, coffee grinder, extra towels, etc. It is filled with quality furnishings and appliances. Beds were comfortable! Downtown is walking distance, which I’m sure would be a huge advantage in season. We will definitely stay here again if it’s available when we visit.

Great stay
Absolutely loved the cottage! It was a perfect location to do so many things, a lot of dog friendly places too. We also spent a good amount of time at the property playing card games and throwing the ball with our dog in the backyard.

Such a Treasure
We came up from Chicagoland with two pups and two kiddos (9 & 6) and had such a fabulous weekend. Marcus & Tony were amazing hosts and very easy to communicate with. We walked all over town and to the beach, ate ice cream at Nancy’s & Oinks, Dinner at Salty Dog and breakfast at Jackie’s. The backyard is fabulous and we are already planning our next stay.

Great cabin & location!
We loved our stay in New Buffalo. This cabin has so much character and we really enjoyed the proximity to downtown as well. We walked to the beach in the morning and were able to walk to restaurants too. The coffee amenities were a delightful addition to our stay as well.
