Dog-Friendly Cottage with Hot Tub & Firepit
Summary:
Whether you need a staycation, workcation, or a getaway, Deer Haus awaits your next adventure. This tranquil cottage is nestled in the woods yet strikingly close to the heart of New Buffalo. Deer Haus is only half a mile from downtown New Buffalo’s restaurants and breweries. Pack up your car or continue to pedal another mile to New Buffalo’s beautiful public beach, or head in the opposite direction to nearby Four Winds Casino.
The Space:
Tucked on a private wooded lot, the neighborhood’s gravel path leads you to an escape from the usual hustle and bustle. The elegantly decorated home takes its design inspiration from nature as well as a nod to an alpine hunting lodge. Deer Haus features bamboo floors in all first-floor living spaces, wood blinds, granite countertops, and KitchenAid appliances. Cooks of all levels will enjoy a well-equipped kitchen and the additional convenience of a KitchenAid toaster oven with an air fryer feature. The Keurig dual pot and pod brewer will keep your crew caffeinated.
The ample open-space living room and dining area include comfortable furniture, a cozy gas-lit fireplace, high vaulted ceilings, and a fireplace-mounted smart TV. Skylights and windows bathe the house in the warm glow of natural light. The main bedroom and bath, as well as a guest bedroom and full bath, are on the first floor. A charming third bedroom, half bath, and loft create a second-floor retreat from the rest of the home.
You’ll enjoy the serene sounds of birds chirping while lounging on the screened-in porch or choose to unwind outside in the home’s latest amenity: a six-person hot tub. Dine alfresco on the ground-level deck and end your evening with a round of s'mores at the rustic firepit.

Beautiful Home
We had a great long weekend in this beautiful house. It had all that we needed and was walking distance to downtown New Buffalo and 20 minutes to the dunes! The wooded area around the house was so beautiful and relaxing. We spent hours out in the screened in porch and around the big dining table. We will be back!
