Perfect Lake House for a Weekend Getaway

This house fit our needs perfectly. The host, Beth, was more than accommodating and responded quickly to any questions we had (thanks for having us, Beth!). The house had all the amenities that you could ask for and then some. I found things that I didn't even know I would need were already available at the property which came in handy! The property is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood on the shores of Lake Michigan and is secluded enough that you can sit around the fire and listen to tunes long into the night if that's your vibe. My only complaint is that the locals were a little iffy about sharing their private beach access, although we may have been using the wrong access point (it was slightly confusing) but that's not a ding on the property or host by any means. Overall, 10/10 would recommend! If we have a chance, we will absolutely stay at this cottage again in the future.

Amazing stay!

Took a girls trip here with my 2 best friends and the property is exactly like the photos! Very clean and updated inside with super comfy beds and a big comfy couch. The host was wonderful and very easy to get ahold of. The home is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a beach day which was a short walk down the road. Would definitely stay here again and reccomend to others!

Girl weekend

I took my mother, daughter, and one of her friends for a two night stay. This was absolutely perfect! Charming, cute, clean, every amenity you could want and the location (about a 3 block walk and typical Lake Michigan staircase) to the beach cannot be beat, easy little drive to New Buffalo or Union Pier. I don’t want to say too much because I want to keep this gem for myself!

Such an amazing location

I absolutely love the location of this house, the walk to the beach is very short and the beach never had more than 10 people on it (weather was not amazing during our stay). New buffalo is such a cool town, we loved how laid back everything was. The one thing I'll note is that the town basically closes at 9:30pm, we arrived late on our first night and had to backtrack 20ish minutes to a larger town to get groceries. The communication from the host was phenomenal and every detail was thought through at this house. I had never been to lake Michigan before but all we've talked about on the car ride home is how soon we'll be coming back!

A perfect place to stay

This home was perfect for our stay in New Buffalo! Our family of four loved the home and used it well. The home is well thought out and comes filled with everything you need for a stay -the owner has truly thought through all of the aspects to creating a cozy getaway home. The mosquitos made outdoor play and relaxation a bit hard, we had to double down on bug repellent and therefore didn’t enjoy outdoor time as often as we may have otherwise. Otherwise it was great. A short walk to the beach access and enough tree cover to feel like you’re hidden away even when there are actually quite a few houses nearby. We enjoyed our stay here.

Could not have been better!

I can't say enough good things about Beth & her property - spotlessly clean, everything practically brand-new, every amenity we were looking for & more (she's literally thought of everything!) & flawless communication. She went above & beyond to accommodate our every request (was there an extension cord here? No, but she'd drop one off. Is there a trick to the grill? No but she'd come look at it. Trouble w/ the entry code? She came out & changed the batteries & brought extra keys (even though the code confusion was 100% our fault!) She even treated us to dinner to 'make up' for what was truly a minor inconvenience - so generous. 12 out of 10 we would stay here again! Thank you Beth!
