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.

Wonderful stay

The photos don’t do this rental justice - it’s so homey and cute. Everything was spotless, and the beds were comfortable. It was easy to stay home and make dinner, and we had a lot of fun using the bonfire outside. It’s also a short walk to the main restaurants in town. We’ll definitely be staying here again.

Clean, Comfy, and Dog-Friendly Perfection

What a perfect getaway! The house was spotless, super comfy, and in the best location. Our two dogs were in heaven with the fenced yard, and we all loved the dog beach at Warren Dunes just 20 minutes away. So many little touches made our stay extra special. We can’t wait to come back!
Everything you need and a fabulous grocer is nearby!
Fabulous Grinder and coffee machine with local beans to grind. It was delicious!

Marcus and Tony's cottage is wonderful - in addition to the perfect location and ample space, you can tell that they have taken extra lengths to make sure that visitors truly feel at home. From the fully equipped kitchen and extra linens to the inviting back yard and fully functional washer/dryer, we appreciated being able to truly settle into the cottage and enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family - and would also look to return to the cottage on our next trip to the Harbor Country.

Fantastic stay! We celebrated two milestones - our 18th wedding anniversary, as well as our first vacation as a family of three (8 month old daughter). We can’t say enough wonderful things about the house, location, and excellent communication with the property owners! They thought of everything with all the labeled items and beautiful decor to make your stay comfortable. Walkable and close to restaurants, shopping, and more. Thank you for the special memories!

Cute "Cottage" Home Near Town - New Buffalo

It was just my wife and I visiting relatives in New Buffalo. We were looking for a cute place close to town. We found it! This home has a very warm "Cottage" like feel to it. Easy walk to town shops , restaurants, harbor, etc.. We will come back and stay again.

New Buffalo getaway.

Very cozy & clean property. Home was well stocked with all basic items making it easy to walk in & begin your vacation. Slight downfall was out side noise during the day in back yard as property is a bit close to a busy road. Other than that it’s a perfect property for a getaway in the New Buffalo area.
