Chill Bachelorette

We stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights, for a chill bachelorette weekend getaway. We had so much fun, and the house was the perfect size, we each had our own space plus great gathering rooms when we played games or just sat around and chatted. The porches were wonderful, and we loved the walkability to essentials and other parts of town. Great hosts, would definitely recommend!!

Great for families

We had a great stay with our kids and their cousins. Great access to town and grocery store. Beach is a little further when you get all of the kid's beach gear together, but it's doable. Pool access was awesome to have and easy alternative to the beach. Would stay again!

It was a wonderful stay at the Gecko Cottage. The home is charming and well-appointed, with lots of places for both kids and adults to hang out. It’s super close to New Buffalo center but also off the beaten path and feels quiet. Pool and beach toys in garage are a plus. Thanks Julie and Phil!

Gecko Cottage was great!

The cottage was roomy and comfortable enough for all 10 of us. The lovely community pool was around the corner, the grocery store, ice cream, pizza and fun downtown shops were 2 blocks away and the beach was just aother 10 minute walk from there. We really enjoy New Buffalo - we've been coming to New Buffalo for our summer vacation for a number of years now and Gecko Cottage has been our best location so far!

Weekend stay in New Buffalo

I took my daughter for her birthday to New Buffalo and stayed in this lovely home for the weekend. The home was very clean upon arrival and stocked with all the necessities. Neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance to the downtown area. We all had a great time and prefect weather. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a home in the New Buffalo area.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Phil & Julie

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
Welcome. We camped and vacationed in the New Buffalo area with our family for over 20 years. Finally we took the plunge and got a place of our own to enjoy with our kids, grandkids, and of course to share with you, our beloved guests.

Phil, water person, is happiest in and around water., May-October he enjoys long swims in the lake every day. He has taught sailing and sailed on Lakes Erie, Huron, Michigan, Superior and in the Mediterranean.

He's an avid biker. Pick out one of our bikes, old but trusty, and use it as the best way to get around town, get exercise and enjoy the lake air. If you love boats, stroll the huge marina, and partake of the excellent, but a bit pricey, marina resturants.

Julie loves long walks on the beach, bicycling and the fact that you can do everything without having to get into a car.
Always the teacher, she's all about books & community, and loves the library.

We're Michiganders from Ann Arbor and love helping you plan your trip, so ask away. We'll do what we can to make this a memorable stay.

Return guests are like family.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

A quiet place to relax, within a short walk to everything.

The enjoy we hanging out and our cottage friends and the opportunity to host great people!

There's a pool and shopping, dining and of course the wonderful library & beach within a short walk.

Coffee maker or French Press. Paninni Grill and Popcorn maker. It's ready for fun.

The kitchen is well equipped, roomy and spotless with an open plan everyone will enjoy.

Park the car (or come by train) and forget it 'til you leave. Barneys, a well stocked grocery, is only a block away. Comfort convenient by the big lake. What could be better?

Easy bike trip or drive through Harbor Country to Warren Dunes and the peacefulness of the Lake Michigan shoreline & towns. We've recently discovered a bike path which is completely on back roads. Ask us!
Stop for antiquing, coffee and sandwiches on the way. Maybe bike to wine tasting the next day.

We love it here because the water is warmer than further north and Its quick to get to. Having Amtrak to Ann Arbor or Chicago, or hourly South Shore Line Trains to Millenium Plaza in Chicago is a real bonus.

We've been vacationing in the New Buffalo area with our family for almost 20 year. Finally we have a place of our own here to enjoy and to share with our guests.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Julie loves decorating and adding small comfort touches throughout. The house is a great design and we do our best to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. Welcome.

Ping-pong and movies in the downstairs recreation area.

Enjoy the privacy of grilling on the back patio.

Please bring your favorite bars of soap, child and baby soap,shampoo & conditioner, and personal hygiene items. We provide a supply of liquid hand soap, dish soap, and lotion. Dishwasher and Washing machine Pods provided. Please ask if you have questions on what to bring. We're here to help.
