The property was very clean and on a convenient location to the town center. Host was accommodating and very clear with instructions. House is well equiped and a very nice set up. A couple very minor items like a non working light bulb at the entrance but that happens. I would recommend the place.

Great house!

The house was so cute and perfect for three couples. The living area was a perfect place for all of us to hang out with enough seating on the couches and at the island. It was just a 15 minute walk to all the restaurants and stores and you could even hear the water from the house! HIGHLY recommend!

Stayed in the house with a couple friends for a golf trip. House was immaculately clean and located very close to downtown New Buffalo. Owner was a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely stay here again on one of my next golf trips. 5 stars all the way.

The Listing Doesn't Come Close to Describing How Perfect this is!

From start to finish the owner was helpful, responsive, accommodating, can't say enough. The place was adorable and had everything we needed and more! A 5- minute walk to the private beach too! Great for our group, everyone had their own space and living room and basement with games. Outdoor fire pit and great patio to enjoy. We can't wait to go back!!!

A cozy cottage in an interesting town

This cottage was clean and had many small touches that made our stay comfortable and fun. My only suggestion would be more complete instructions regarding the lights in the living room. We had a time figuring out how to turn them off. Also, attend to instructions regarding locking the door. First time, we left and the door was not locked (you need to confirm). All-in-all well laid out and comfortable. Great place.

This was the perfect place for a friend getaway for the fourth of july. It is super spacious and had plenty of room for all of our cooking needs in the kitchen and the grill as well as many beds. Everything was laid out clearly so we had no confusion checking in or out. It was the perfect location for us since we took the amtrak and didn’t have a car, so we were able to easily walk everywhere. We would definitely stay again!
