About this property

New cottage with pool and walkable to downtown/beach

Thanks for checking out our vacation home! Built in 2020, Fort North is located at the end of a dead end street in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. The house is walkable to everything- 3 blocks from Main Street downtown, 6 blocks from beach. It overlooks the Galien River Marsh with spectacular views from the balcony. Relax on the sprawling front porch and enjoy the sunset over the marsh or choose to eat dinner on the back patio.
We are located just minutes away from restaurants like The Stray Dog and Caseys as well as the grocery store, quaint downtown shops, and the public beach. Our favorite is enjoying strawberry ice cream at Nancy's after a late afternoon walk. Just steps away, you can spend the day chilling at the private heated association pool. Close to the local casino, wineries, and breweries, the house is designed for large groups and the neighborhood is family friendly. The kitchen/dining area has seating for 12 and in includes a stocked kitchen with a gas stove and custom cabinets. The living room features a gas fireplace, perfect for curling up with a book. There is an additional living space with bar, table, and beverage fridge in the basement. You will love the peaceful, relaxing vibe our house has!

We've stayed at a couple of the Merchant Street Cottages and we absolutely loved our stay here. Plenty of space inside and out, fantastic porch and tons of beach toys, games, etc. Honestly had everything we needed. We just booked again for next year and would love to do the same from here on out.

Great beach house.

Great beach house just over half a mile walk from a lovely public beach. House is well maintained. We were there during the week in the summer and the beach wasn’t overcrowded. The water was clear and the beach was reasonably free of litter.

Family Getaway

This is our second summer staying at this property and it is the perfect getaway for our family! The layout is perfect for my husband and I, our 3 children and both sets of grandparents. Everyone has their own floor, and the common spaces allow for spreading out. We love the location and proximity to downtown and the beach. We hope to be back again next summer!

We had a fantastic stay in New Buffalo with our group of 14! The home was well-stocked with everything we needed—especially appreciated the coffee maker, crock pot, and thoughtful kitchen supplies. The bunk room was a huge hit and perfect for a multi-night slumber party for the kids. The location couldn’t be better—an easy walk to town and the beach, with quick evening trips to Nancy’s for our nightly ice cream becoming a favorite tradition. Highly recommend for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway!

Hot but happy!

The vacation house is beautiful in a neighborhood close to town: spacious, great design, lovely bathrooms and overall decor, clean and comfy. Loved the front porch with swing and back sun porch. Community pool was a big plus, especially with the heat wave. Appreciated the owner’s accessibility. Was a great stay for us in New Buffalo!
