Happy Thoughts Cottage



The Space:

With incredible wall-to-wall windows that let the natural light pour in, this quaint cottage tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of New Buffalo will place you mere blocks from the heart of downtown. Step inside to find a beautifully maintained, air-conditioned space with whimsical decor, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen and dining area that give the home a decidedly spacious feel. Enjoy a kitchen with every essential and a peninsula breakfast bar, a dining space with a beautiful wood table, and a living room with a large, comfortable sectional sofa, a gas-powered fireplace, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Soak up the summer sunshine outside on the front deck, where cafe tables and chairs overlook the large, fenced-in yard with a lush lawn, mature trees, and an in-ground firepit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs. There's also a rear patio with a grill for outdoor cooking, a table with seating for four, and an outdoor shower to welcome you home from New Buffalo Beach (three-quarters of a mile north) each afternoon. At night, two comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen-size bed and one with a pair of twin beds - and a full bathroom are adjacent to the kitchen. And for those who love a nice stroll, downtown New Buffalo is only a two blocks away, offering great shopping and wonderful eateries. Things to know: Streaming TV services available This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan, LLC.

    Everything was great! We'd stay here again for sure! Perfect location as we walked all over New Buffalo. Only recommendation is for the property owner to provide SmartTV's so guests can stream their own accounts. We weren't there to watch TV, but at night it's nice to watch sports, news, movies, etc.

    We had an amazing time. The cottage was perfect for us. The front yard was beautiful and allowed our kids to have plenty of room to play. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Loved it!

    This house exceeding our expectations for cleanliness. It is a quiet neighborhood and had everything we needed. Walkable to downtown New Buffalo. I would definitely stay here again.

    We had the best stay at this thoughtfully built and furnished home. Close to downtown New Buffalo and within walking distance of all the best the town has to offer, the rooms and beds were very comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a great week with two kiddos in tow. We’ll miss the beach and quiet evenings in the yard. Can’t wait to visit again!

    Easy walk to downtown which is what we wanted! We brought our baby and toddler and were out of the house most of our stay but after the kids went to bed, the living room was a great space to relax and play games and far enough from the rooms so the kids couldn’t hear us. We drove to the beach which was still very close.

    We had a relaxing stay at Happy Thoughts cottage- it’s the perfect size for 2-3 people, true to listing but even better in person. We loved the sunroom area, it was where we hung out the most, the kitchen was well stocked, even though we didn’t cook! There are several restaurants within walking distance. Thanks for a relaxing stay!

    The room in the house was fantastic even though it’s a small home it is absolutely big in features. The beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning worked well. The proximity of the property couldn’t be better. It was a five star all the way around

    This is our second time at Happy Thoughts Cottage. We love the cozy den, front yard for kids to play, and walkability to the main street.

    We absolutely loved staying here! Just steps to the downtown and an easy walk to the beach. We had our 4 y/o with us and just carted her around in the wagon. The house is wonderful. Clean. Newly updated. We’d def stay here again!
