    I feel so incredibly lucky that we found this home, and completely blessed that it was available when we needed. If it is open - stop searching, and book immediately. This house was a HOME, and felt like walking into my granny’s house (in the best way). So many rentals are very sterile and cheap feeling, this home is cozy, comfortable, clean, and inviting. Great location, we walked everywhere! We also enjoyed every morning on the front porch area. So dreamy! We will be back!

    This is the sweetest little cottage. The host, Rebecca, sent us a wonderful welcome letter with all the information and ideas for spots to visit. The cottage was immaculate and the kitchen had every item you could need or want. The bed was extremely comfortable and we felt like we found our home away from home. Hope to get to go back someday!

    The location was perfect for exploring New Buffalo, and beyond. The home is quaint, and perfect for our family of 4. The host was kind enough to leave extra bedding as one of our teenage sons preferred to sleep on the couch during our stay. We loved having beach towels, chairs, and bikes included with the rental! The kitchen was well stocked, and the front porch was a welcoming spot to relax. This home is walkable to all things downtown New Buffalo, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    We had such a great girls' weekend here! Its close enough to walk literally anywhere in town but still far enough from the hustle and bustle to be quiet in the evenings. Rebecca and Bill are very attentive and have a wealth of recommendations for the area. We would.love to come stay again!

    Lovely home! Extremely clean and tidy, kitchen well supplied with cooking objects! Lovely wicker furniture on a cool front porch! On a busy street! Noise level high! Bathroom too small and difficult to navigate. Yard need work to clear grounds for walking and using. Not well maintained. Across street from high wire for electricity!Location could be better

    Lovely and well appointed with anything you might need. I would have preferred being closer to the lake but I knew the location.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at storybook cottage. Very clean, comfortable and nostalgic vintage decor. Location allowed us to visit Chicagoland to the East and all of the Indiana/Michigan south shore towns.

    This small cottage welcomed us from the moment we stepped foot on its wicker furnished front porch and welcome flag waving us in. It had everything we needed for a week's vacation and was very close to town, the beach on Lake Michigan, a grocery store, and many restaurants nearby to choose from. The owner communicated well with us, and the only issue we had as seniors with disabilities was the difficulty of climbing stairs to get into the house, but we took our time coming and going and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in New Buffalo. We highly recommend this property to singles, couples, or a small group of friends or family. The charm of Storybook Cottage will make you feel very much at home.
