The entire property is beautifully landscaped and secluded, with a hot tub and circular sandstone outdoor patio and fire pit overlooking Lake Michigan, perfect for relaxing at sunset. Conveniently located near both St. Joseph and New Buffalo, each of which is rich with art galleries, boutique shops, fine restaurants, and the best of Midwestern culture. The Coastal Cottage's “Extra Bonus”? A private wooden deck literally on the lake with chaise lounges and a large bistro table. Chardonnay, anyone?



Nearby, there are superb Lake Michigan beaches to check out, and you can also enjoy the many activities afforded by the region’s largest recreational harbor, a short drive south. That means all sorts of water-related rentals of boats, jet skis, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards, or take a day or night cruise – or fishing excursion – out on glorious Lake Michigan. There are also plenty of hiking and biking trails nearby, through woodlands, dunes, and riverside parks. Hungry or thirsty or just wanting to shop or browse? Try one of the many popular restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, and stylish boutiques in downtown New Buffalo, just a hop, skip, and a jump from Stevensville. Plus, there are winery and brewery tours galore to be had, live music venues to check out, and numerous public golf courses to play.



The Neighborhood:

Enjoy lake life and all that SW Michigan has to offer! Stevensville is located along the Lake Michigan shoreline about 5 miles south of St. Joseph which has fantastic shopping, dining, children's museums, Silver Beach, a carousel, splashpad and more. The town offers visitors a nostalgic reminder of quiet village life in a quaint, coastal setting. The Coastal Cottage is about a 20-minute drive from the New Buffalo Casino, beautiful state parks including Grand Mere and Warren Dunes, and many more fun activities nearby!



Getting Around:

We highly recommend a personal vehicle to get around and explore the local area. There is easy access off I-94 for a straightforward drive to Chicago, Grand Rapids, Kalmazoo, or Detroit. Amtrak has a station in New Buffalo (225 North Whittaker St.) that offers service to Chicago as well as Ann Arbor and Detroit. The South Shore Line, another option for a day trip to Chicago, stops in Michigan City, IN about 30 minutes’ drive from the house.



We will provide you with a helpful virtual guide prior to check-in that showcases a comprehensive list of area eateries, attractions, parks and more.



Other Things to Note:

During winter, furniture and televisions will be removed from outdoor and screened areas.



With the rise in popularity of our beautiful town comes the bustling noise of development. Please understand that construction noise from a neighboring property may be heard during your stay, primarily during weekday daylight hours.



To ensure a safe and compliant stay, all guests are required to complete identity verification prior to check-in. A valid government-issued photo ID will be collected and verified, and the name on the ID must match the credit card used for payment. When applicable, a background screening may also be required as part of the booking process.



All guests are required to review and sign Juniper Holiday + Home's Guest Occupancy Agreement prior to check-in. While we understand that events can affect your trip, it is our policy to stick to the agreed-upon cancellation policy in the listing.

Please note that the Coastal Cottage does not have access to a private beach, and swimming out front of the home is not recommended due to the rocky shoreline. The closest beach, Lincoln Township Beach, is conveniently located 0.3 miles from the house.



We welcome up to 3 dogs at this home at no additional charge. Please include the number of pets you plan to bring or let our team know after booking.
