Local Attractions
Restaurants
Here are a few of our favorite local restaurants nearby. There are well within walking distance, which is nice because parking can be somewhat difficult, especially in the summer months.
Rios Mexican Grill- fantastic drive through and walk up taco stand with outdoor seating available. This is one of our favorites, highly recommend the Shell-less burrito with spicy pork and avocado. You can order ahead of time online at riosmexicangrill.com or call (269)469-8011. They are located 3 blocks west and one block north on the corner of Eagle St. and W Buffalo Street (Route 12).
Jackie’s Cafe- Cheerful, independent eatery offering elevated American breakfast and brunch eats and a seasonal patio. Great place to walk to for breakfast and is located just one block east of Rio's on the corner of S. Chicago Street and W. Buffalo Street (Route 12)
David's Delicatessen & Coffee- Located in the middle of downtown on the West side of Whittaker street. Known for their rueben sandwiches but also have a great constantly varying menu based on what ingredients are available from local farmers. Great place for a quick, delicious, and healthy breakfast. Organic options available. Wonderful selection of coffees and teas as well as made fresh daily pastries. Really cool atmosphere with wonderful seating inside and out. This is our go-to for our coffee fix. Check out davidsdeliandcoffee.com for more info. open 7:30-4pm M W TH F 7:30-2pm on Tuesday and open 8am-4pm on weekends.
Bentwood Tavern- Waterfront dining on the New Buffalo Harbor. Artisan hand crafted cuisine crafted by local icon, Chef Jenny Drilon. We love this place. Perfect place to get dinner or start an evening out with cocktails on the rooftop bar overlooking the harbor! Located on the corner of W. Water street and N. Berrien St. inside of the Grand Marina resort. You can also rent bikes here!
Oink’s- Ice Cream Parlor and Frozen Yogurt Parlor with tons of flavors. Cash only. If you like ice cream, you like this place. Located just two blocks West and one block North on the corner of S. Smith Street and W. Buffalo Street (Route 12).
The Stray Dog Bar & Grill- Bright spot with wood tables & booths. Offers New American fare & wide beer list, plus rooftop patio and bar. Another one of our favorites. Located in the heart of downtown and near the beach. Perfect place for dinner and drinks. Would give a meal recommendation but honestly everything is great. Full bar, games on tv, lively atmosphere but also family friendly. They also have a gift shop with great souvenirs. Its a must while in town. Located on N. Whittaker Street (which is the main street through downtown) and E. Water Street. Check out thestraydog.com for more details and to take a look at the menu. SIT! STAY!

A great spot
We were pleased to find this nice house--well decorated, well stocked and with a fenced yard--within several blocks' walk of New Buffalo's main street. Everything is great, including the house's condition, the location and communication with the property manager, except for one thing. Water pressure in the shower is very weak.

Great home base for Michigan exploration!
I loved the property, we only stayed overnight but it could be a fantastic place to base a longer trip with big deck and comfortable, relaxing interior. Appreciate the free snacks and helpful communication from management. Excellent location near beach and downtown.

A Quick Getaway in New Buffalo
Although our stay was brief . . . this property was just what we needed. A nice place to stay within walking distance of restaurants and bars in New Buffalo. We didn’t arrive until late . . . and checked out the next morning . . . so we didn’t get to enjoy all the property has to offer. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our standard poodles. Next time . . . we look forward to enjoying the fire pit!!

Eagles Nest New Buffalo, MI
There had been a bad storm the day before we arrived. The property was all cleaned up, no yard debris. Neighbors nice, neighborhood was walkable to downtown shops, restaurants & beach. House was cozy & nice. Thanks for the great movie channels! Did question the house keeper due to sheets and pillowcases on the bed, wet citrus in the washer on arrival. Alittle more care of wiping off table outside & inside but maybe they were in a hurry due to the store. We would stay there again.and had a great time & great communication with the owners. Thank you!

This is a wonderful property, with an amazing backyard set up. My family and I were able to walk to the beach or into town from this location. The accommodations were excellent, and the property managers were quick when I had any concerns or questions. Absolutely would rent this house again.

Girls weekend
This place is perfect for A small getaway. My six friends and I stayed here for one night and it was great. Even though there wasn’t only one bathroom there are mirrors in every room which means someone can take a shower while someone else is getting ready. They have an outdoor sitting area. There’s also a fire pit which we didn’t get to use, but we wanted to so bad, we only stayed one night. This place is super clean and overall very pleasant. Thank you so much!

Short trip happy dog
It was the perfect short getaway. I thought New Buffalo beach permitted dogs. They do not. I took my pup up to Warren Dune's dog beach $11 park entry fee, and so worth it
