Wonderful Family New Year Getaway

Our family of 6 adults and one baby stayed here for three nights over the New Year holiday, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the house felt like a true home away from home. It’s spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay incredibly comfortable and memorable.The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials, making it easy for us to prepare family meals. We loved gathering in the cozy living areas, which were perfect for lounging and enjoying quality time together. The bedrooms were all comfortable and peaceful, ensuring we had restful nights.Overall, we had an amazing experience and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm and inviting space for a family getaway!

Cutest Cottage

Perfect place for our girls’ weekend! The house is so charming and comfortable. Surrounded by the changing fall leaves, this home is conveniently located with only a short drive to all New Buffalo restaurants, shopping, and the wineries of Berrien County. The kitchen and rest of the house was well-stocked with plenty of towels, extra blankets, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in both bathrooms. The family/hearth room was where we spent most of our time, the furniture was very comfortable making for a great place to hang out and watch a movie. We would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the beach. A favorite stay for sure!

Great stay

We had a great visit for 2 nights in this adorable cottage. We loved the setting and arrangement of the house - great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The house was clean and well stocked. Lovely private beach super close by. Easy process to check in and out. We would definitely return! Only feedback point was there was an extremely overpowering amount of air fresheners upon arrival so we had to open windows and air out the living room. Also there is some train noise but I think it’s normal for this area.

Diane Keaton Vibes!

The photos do not do this place justice. It was such a perfect little oasis for our two families. We have 8 people total - 4 adults & 4 kids ages 3-5 - and it was absolutely perfect. The kitchen was spacious and clean, there was plenty of property to explore, the outdoor shower was ideal for post-beach clean off, the beads were comfortable, and having a separate living room for the adults to hang out in once the kids went to bed could not have been more perfect. Couldn't recommend this property or Gigi (the host) more! Can't wait to come back.

3 bedroom property

I really loved this property and its location however, it is listed as having 4 bedrooms which is not accurate. What they consider the 4th bedroom is not a private space with 4 walls and a door but a walk through to the other bedrooms and bathroom with a daybed. Also, the bed in one of the master bedrooms was incredibly hard and not even slightly comfortable.

Cleanliness

Overall it's a very cute cottage, however we didn't feel like it should be rated high for cleanliness. There was sand in the twin bed sheets and the trundle beds. There was mold on the shower curtain in guest bath. We found body hairs all over the baths( everywhere)! Not just in the showers, on the walls, in the drawers, etc. When we checked in Saturday and began to cook we were swarmed with fruit flys. They were so bad we actually had to set traps. The floors were not swept either, Cobb webs and spiders under hutches. Overall we rented because it was rated top for cleanliness. The walk to the beach is longer than what they advertise as well. They had a neighbor with a barking dog. It never stopped. It was miserable to sleep in this house because of neighbors dog. This neighborhood obviously doesn't have a noise orndance.

Love this vacation home!

We have stayed here 3 times. It's a short walk to the beautiful beach and an easy drive to restaurants and entertainment. We think it is a great location! The place is clean and comfy and the decor is beachy/shabby chic that gives a great vacation atmosphere. The floor plan works well for separation between the primary bedroom and guest spaces. We like that it has landscaping around to provide privacy on the outdoor porches and decks. Kitchen has been fine for our needs. I would highly recommend.
