You couldn’t ask for a sweeter spot for your southwest Michigan getaway than this cozy two-bedroom cottage in New Buffalo. This 1200-square-foot home lives large, with an airy main floor, a huge enclosed sunroom, deck, and extra sleeping space upstairs in the loft. In the warmer months, grab a book and spend the morning in the sunroom. That hammock strung between two trees, just past the above-ground pool, is another likely candidate for whiling the morning away. When you get hungry, make breakfast in the well-equipped, full kitchen, and then grab one of the benches at the kitchen table to dine together.
When you decide to venture out, you’re about two miles to the New Buffalo Public Beach and only about a mile and a half to downtown New Buffalo, with its many unique shops, bars, and restaurants. Hiking and cross country ski trails are right across the street, with more only a block or so north. In the evening, screaming-fast internet will help you stream your favorite shows on the wall-mounted smart TV in the living room. Or, head out and visit one of the breweries Michigan is so well-known for, with several within 10 miles. Even better, grab your beverage of choice and head back outside to one of the two firepits to watch as the night stars fill the sky.

Everything you want
House is nicely updated. Beds are comfortable. Screened in back porch is a wonderful space. Loved the fire pit as well. Location is quiet but still close enough to everything else. I would stay here again.

Great vacation in Southwest Michigan
We really enjoyed this property, but had one tiny hiccup. Our favorite part was the large screened back porch and pool area. We also enjoyed playing horseshoes in the yard and the fire pit as well. There are so many great restaurants in New Buffalo and wonderful public beaches. Warren Dunes is just a short drive away as well. We did have an issue one evening with a mouse in our bed, which we brought to the property managements attention the next morning. There was really no resolve just an apology that it happened. We did find evidence of other mice under the kitchen sink as well. We did really enjoy this property even with our little furry friend that joined us one evening.

A wonderful stay at Anchors Away!
We had a wonderful stay at Anchors Away! As expected, we whiled away the majority of our time in the big, airy screened-in porch overlooking the pool and beautiful property. Indoors, the home is comfortably accommodating. We had absolutely no complaints. In fact, before we had even checked out my kids asked if we can come back again next year! Thanks so much!

Love the area
House was acceptable and as pictured. They weren’t kidding when they said low ceilings on second floor. Just remember to duck! Note 2nd bedroom is also upstairs and low ceilings.

No heater in pool water was too cold for swimming
Who in the Midwest would rent a house with a pool and no heater we couldn’t use the pool because the water was cold
first thing that happened was I got a splinter from the railing going into the property
The furniture was very uncomfortable in the main living room you sink in the sleeping sofa very uncomfortable
chair arm was broken furniture needs to be updated to better than garage sale rejects
none of the lights in the living room worked
Kitchen supplies are also garage sale items could be updated
No shampoo or soap for showers and ran out of toilet paper and garbage bags day 2 called for more and was told no
We also ran out of dishwasher pod’s
If someone is staying for a full week with 8 people they need more supplies they shouldn’t have to go buy this stuff
We have rented a lot of vacation spots and this one needs a lot of work to get up to par

Pleasant Getaway
The property was very private - surrounded by trees and foliage. The pool was large and clean - such fun for the kids. The house was lovely - very comfortable and well stocked. The service was immediate and pleasant. All in all a great experience worth repeating!
