Private Cabin w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit & River Views | WAYA's Den
2026 JUST OPENED
YEAR ROUND HOTTUB!
ONE OF THE TOP RENTALS IN SOUTHWEST MI. FEATURED IN SEVERAL VACATION RENTAL MAGAZINES.
⚠ Weekly rentals (Sat-Sat) required during peak summer season (June 19th thru Aug 23rd).
Experience the beauty of Harbor Country from this secluded log cabin retreat, set on six private acres with over 500 feet of the Galien River wrapping around the back side of the property. Located just a five minute drive from downtown New Buffalo, area beaches, Four Winds Casino, and local wineries, this home offers the perfect blend of nature and convenience.
Spanning over 3,000 square feet across three levels, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin is designed for relaxation. Cozy up by the fireplace, take in the breathtaking views from the 850-square-foot deck, or soak in the outdoor hot tub, available year-round. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or stargazing by the fire pit, this home provides a peaceful escape from everyday life.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed interior offers the comforts of home without the typical “rental feel.” Fully equipped with modern amenities, the open-concept layout is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Privacy is unmatched—no neighbors in sight, just the serenity of the surrounding woods.
For those looking to explore, New Buffalo is just a five-minute drive away, offering charming shops, renowned restaurants, wineries, and a full-service spa. Outdoor enthusiasts can rent kayaks, cycle through scenic rolling hills, or golf at nearby courses. The Whittaker Golf Club, Four Winds Casino, and Indiana’s Lighthouse Outlet Mall are all just minutes away.
Unplug, unwind, and rediscover relaxation in this one-of-a-kind Galien River retreat.
We kindly request that guests refrain from hosting large parties or family gatherings out of respect for the neighboring homeowners, many of whom reside here year-round. By fostering a sense of harmony and consideration, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a peaceful and rejuvenating stay. Please be advised that this home does have a camera that monitors the driveway and the garage but can be turned off after arrival if so requested.
Minimum Age Limit for Renters: The guest signing the rental agreement/contract must be 30 years of age or older (ID at check-in required) and must be responsible for the group during the entire time of the stay.
Maximum occupancy restrictions: The number of guests at any WAYA-managed property can not exceed the maximum occupancy number (or sleeps number). This includes invited guests, friends, or additional family members. Events, parties, or family gatherings are not permitted without express written permission prior to booking.
This property is Dog-friendly. A non-refundable fee per stay, per dog ( 2 dog max) is assessed during the booking process.
