Nearby, there are superb Lake Michigan beaches to check out, and you can also enjoy the many activities afforded by the region’s largest recreational harbor, a short drive south. That means all sorts of water-related rentals of boats, jet skis, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards, or take a day or night cruise – or fishing excursion – out on glorious Lake Michigan. There are also plenty of hiking and biking trails nearby, through woodlands, dunes, and riverside parks. Hungry or thirsty or just wanting to shop or browse Try one of the many popular restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, and stylish boutiques in downtown New Buffalo, just a hop, skip, and a jump from Stevensville. Plus, there are winery and brewery tours galore to be had, live music venues to check out, and numerous public golf courses to play.



The Neighborhood:

Enjoy lake life and all that SW Michigan has to offer! Stevensville is located along the Lake Michigan shoreline about 5 miles south of St. Joseph which has fantastic shopping, dining, children's museums, Silver Beach, a carousel, splashpad and more. The town offers visitors a nostalgic reminder of quiet village life in a quaint, coastal setting. The Coastal Cottage is about a 20-minute drive from the New Buffalo Casino, beautiful state parks including Grand Mere and Warren Dunes, and many more fun activities nearby!



Getting Around:

We highly recommend a personal vehicle to get around and explore the local area. There is easy access off I-94 for a straightforward drive to Chicago, Grand Rapids, Kalmazoo, or Detroit. Amtrak has a station in New Buffalo (225 North Whittaker St.) that offers service to Chicago as well as Ann Arbor and Detroit. The South Shore Line, another option for a day trip to Chicago, stops in Michigan City, IN about 30 minutes’ drive from the house.



We will provide you with a helpful virtual guide prior to check-in that showcases a comprehensive list of area eateries, attractions, parks and more.
