Overview

Get away from the daily grind while reconnecting with your family and friends at this fabulous, pet friendly beach house located in New Buffalo, Michigan. Only an hour and 15 minutes from Chicago, Star Cottage offers a convenient and carefree setting for your weekend retreat or summer getaway. Between the private beach (which is less than a 10 minute walk from the house) and the thoughtful amenities, you’ll enjoy everything you need to relax and rejuvenate.
The property is located in an area known for its pristine private beach, which is also dog friendly, and is just a short walk away. As you walk on the beach, listen for the “whistling” sand; it will enchant you and your children. After you enjoy your time at our beach, our outside shower will clean you and your pets off. We allow dogs here; in fact, we encourage you to bring them!
Step into the open-concept living area, and you’ll be greeted with plenty of natural light and warm, beachy decor. Get cozy in front of a roaring fire on chilly evenings or relax in air-conditioned comfort during the summer. Star Cottage comes with high-speed wireless Internet and high-definition satellite TVs with DirecTV service.
The master bedroom suite was designed with your utmost comfort in mind. Wake up in a plush king-size bed to a view of the trees shading the back porch. You have your choice of a deluxe steam shower or Jacuzzi tub for two, either of which will wash away the worries of life back home.
The other two bedrooms are equally cozy—one has a queen-size bed and the other has two twin beds. The shared guest bathroom also has a steam shower with rain heads, so everyone is pampered! While the home comfortably sleeps six, you can fit a seventh guest in the pull-out sofa in the living room.
Our spacious kitchen has everything you need for the quintessential summer cookout, including a gas grill on the back porch for your steaks, seafood, and more. After dinner, sit around the fire pit and watch your kids can toast marshmallows. The porch, which can be accessed from both the master bedroom and the living room, easily accommodates everyone and looks out onto a four-acre orchard. You’ll have privacy you won’t find in most of the other vacation rentals.
Star Cottage sits between downtown New Buffalo and Union Pier and within minutes to Lakeside, Sawyer and Three Oaks. Downtown New Buffalo is only a mile and a half away where you have your choice of fine restaurants, shops and spas. Visit one of the several award-winning wineries - just a short drive away. Washington Park Zoo in nearby Michigan City, only twenty minutes away, or stop and shop at Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets, an outlet mall and Michigan City staple. And for the adults, the Four Winds Casino is only a ten-minute drive. From antiquing, spas, casinos, wine tasting & vineyard tours, sunbathing, shopping and dining, everything is within reach when you stay at Star Cottage.
Star Cottage will win your heart and become your new home away from home. So call or email quickly because we fill up fast!

Star Cottage is 5 Stars
My 4 friends and my Dog Siena rented this cute house for my Birthday weekend. Anne was great to work with to set it all up. It is as cute in person as advertised. The rooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms were all very nicely appointed. Loved the steam shower! We enjoyed cooking at home in the evenings, the kitchen did not disappoint. April may not be the most popular month here, but we loved the off season! We had the beach to ourselves and no crowds to contend with. We visited several winerys, Shady Creek, Lemon Creek, Gravity and Round Barn. We got a lot of personal attention and made several tasty purchases. We also checked out Three Oaks and the Journeymen Distillery. It is a very hip place, I could see this in downtown Chicago. We enjoyed our tasting. You can also have a light snack menu and a full range of cocktails. Can't wait to try to bourbon maple syrup we bought! Don't miss the Pleasant House Restaurant in Three Oaks and try one of their meat pies...delicious. We also enjoyed grilling out on the large patio. We picked up steaks at Falatic's meat Market in Sawyer and they were delicious. Do't forget to pick up some bacon to take home...For delicious baked goods and breakfast done miss the Blue Plate cafe in Union Pier. I could go one, but I think you get the idea, that no matter what time of year, you will love the convenience of Star Cottage and all the surrounding area has to offer. Can't wait to go back and do it all again.
Affordable Luxury
Very nice re-do on an older home. Lots of Chicago luxury with the steam and rain showers, etc. We enjoyed the stay in spite of losing power 2 times due to storms, and the city shutting the water off due to a snafu with the bill not being paid. Great bedroom for two little girls. The deck is enjoyable, although a bit strange with the no trespassing sign right at the foot of the stairs. The beach is great and easily accessible in spite of the no parking at the entrance to the access path. Make sure to enjoy the Farmer's Market at Skips - just a short walk from the house.
Great Rental Property
My family of six (plus dog) stayed for 5 days in the property and it was wonderful! The house was comfortable and modern and the you couldn't beat the location! The owner provided all the information and amenities to stay in and relax in the house or explore the area. The kitchen was well stocked and the porch provided a great location to relax and grill out. Highly recommended!
Above and Beyond!
Star Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It is hardly a cottage - it is a roomy, beautiful, modern house! Our group included ages ranging from toddlers in diapers to a 75-year-old grandfather, as well as a black lab, and we couldn't have been more comfortable. We enjoyed being able to cook in the kitchen while everyone gathered at the roomy counter, grilling on the excellent gas grill while enjoying cocktails on the private, huge deck overlooking fruit orchards (deer and other wildlife spotted in the yard caused great excitement, especially for the kids), and the rainfall showers/huge jacuzzi - all delightful! Star Cottage is located just close enough (minutes to all the action in New Buffalo, Union Pier, Warren Dunes, etc.), yet just far enough (quiet and peaceful!) We could not get over the private beach access. The house is also quite well insulated. There was a thunderstorm our first evening, and you couldn't even hear it from inside the cottage. All around, a wonderful getaway, but the icing on the cake was working with the owners in regard to our reservation. I made multiple calls regarding various questions about the rental. Anne was always easy to reach and a pleasure to speak with! We will be back.
Star Cottage
The Star Cottage is exactly as stated. Beautiful. Owner very responsive, & caring . We had problem with showers, but owner responded immediately. If showers were perfect (plumbing & hardware issue) . Would be 5 stars!!
Private beach access, instructions easy & beautiful. Would definitely recommend looking into!
Awesome !
This house is so charming and comfortable I absolutely loved it! We use this for a girls weekend and it was absolutely fabulous. The house is very Tastefully done and perfect for the beach. The beach is a quick distance to walk or to drive and is a great Location. The house layout was very accommodating and spacious. The sleeping arrangements were perfect. I am returning next week with my family and Cannot wait to get there! The kitchen and bathrooms were awesome I felt right at home!
