    What a beautiful property! My family spent a weekend here and we all fell in love with this newly restored home and its lovely, calming décor with personal touches. The home was immaculately clean. The fire pit and large picnic table were perfect settings for family conversations. The beds were comfortable and the towels plentiful. We loved the area as well! The Dunes National Park nearby offered adventure and beach time. The village just down the road (New Buffalo, MI) should not be missed! Many great places to eat, stroll and shop...and to get ice cream!

    Wow! It was like opening the door to a boutique hotel! The house was immaculately clean. We marveled at the attention to detail and creative use of every space. The beautiful wooded view from the sunny front room and tasteful decor throughout make this a special retreat. Our dog loved swimming in Lake Michigan (before 10am and after 6pm) however it was much too far for us to walk! We would absolutely stay here again!

    We loved our stay at this sweet little cottage just outside New Buffalo. We walked to the beach one morning, had a lovely fire and roasted s'mores and just enjoyed the company. What a lovely break from the hustle and bustle of city life! To all those that come, enjoy your rest!

    We enjoyed the property very much. The location is a perfect walk through the wooded neighborhood with our dogs, just far enough for them to jump in the lake and cool off and dry off one the way home. The cottage was so cute and clean. Provided everything we needed, stocked with cleaning supplies and very well organized. We enjoyed the backyard and watching the deer out all the many windows. Great use of space for beds. We liked that it was not very touristy but close to many nearby towns for explore. Would have enjoyed better toilet paper.
