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!

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.
