About this property

Cozy New Buffalo cottage with hot tub & fire pit. Short walk to downtown!

You are walking distance to downtown, restaurants & the beach. New Buffalo has a well known wine trail to enjoy with some great hiking. Take a dip in our steamy hot tub or roast marshmallows in our fire pit! Rain in the forecast...no worries we have plenty of board games or cozy up on the couch and read a good book.

Brittany’s place is a wonderful rental in New Buffalo. The place is clean and has everything you could want for a family. The Kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub came in very handy when we had an afternoon of rain that kept us away from the beach.

This is a wonderful cottage! It was clean, well stocked and was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the outside space and hot tub. We also appreciated the many games available and had many competitions with our young adult kids. This was our second visit to New Buffalo - it's one of our favorite vacations!

The house was very clean and so cute! Loved the decor. Our family of 4 loved having plenty of room on the couch to spread out after a day at the beach. TVs in all bedrooms such a fun bonus. The master shower was high end and lovely. We went to New Buffalo, very convenient drive and made the commute to Silver Beach too. The host was very quick to respond when I had questions prior to our trip.
