Gorgeous Harbor Country Cottage; PRIVATE HOT TUB; close to downtown/beach

The house and community were perfect for our various family members!

This wonderful “cottage” was very well-stocked and the perfect layout for our family. Quiet neighborhood with great front porch and back deck, hot tub and steps away from the on site swimming pool. The owners were easy to contact and wonderful to work with. Short walk to the downtown shops and restaurants and short drive to the beach.

This VRBO listing had the features we were looking for, so we booked it. When we arrived, all of our expectations were exceeded by this property. It is roomy, bright, up to date and perfect for a family vacation. The amenities were great, the location is ideal, the neighbors friendly and the community pool and playground facilities were at hit for both the adults and kids in our family. More importantly was the support we received from the owners during a 20-hour regional power black-out. Their text and phone call communications helped us get through this challenge and the result was turning what could have been a significant problem into a minor and memorable speedbump in our vacation. Our entire family would recommend this property without qualification for anyone who wants a quality, comfortable home away from home. We would go back without hesitation. And, our thanks to the owners for a great vacation!

We had such a great time for the week with my wife, kids and parents. The house was beautiful, well stocked with games and even extra some amenities that we forgot, and spotless when we arrived. Hector and Tene were always quick and eager to respond when we had questions or needed to advice on what to do. The pond community was hard to leave during our stay. We all enjoyed the hot tub and pool, and the pickle ball and too. I would play with my Dad and boys, as my youngest ran around on the playground. Much of our time was spent relaxing on the front and back porches. It was also great to have the big back yard for the kids to play in, and the pond where we would go find frogs at night! Such a calm, secluded community, yet close to town and the beach. We had no idea how nice the beaches and the lake was. We checked out a few different beaches that were amazing, hiked the dunes, enjoyed the local restaurants and caught salmon and trout on a fishing charter. Our kids had a blast at Captain Mike’s fun park on our day off from the water. Still so much more to see and do after a week- we will be back for sure. Thank you Tene and Hector!

This home was a wonderful vacation spot in New Buffalo! Not only was it clean and cozy, but it was also walking distance to downtown and the beach. My husband and I traveled with our four children ranging ages 2-13 and it was the perfect fit for our family. We would definitely book it again!

All six of us enjoyed our stay. The home is cheerfully decorated and very comfortable. It has everything you need during your stay. Kitchen is very well stocked, plenty of towels, beach towels , games, huge grill, relaxing hot tub and is very close to the pool. The pool wasn’t crowded at all during the week we were there, which was great as we wanted to take a safe socially distanced vacation. We mainly cooked at home and ordered take out from several area restaurants. Walking distance to Oinks, a local ice cream parlor that we all loved. The beach and shops are very close and you can walk to them or ride your bike. There’s the most amazing sunsets at the beach! Everyone vacationing or living in New Buffalo are super respectful with distancing, wearing masks, etc and it felt very safe and we were able to fully relax while we were there. The owners were very responsive to our questions and gave us great ideas and tips for enjoying our stay. They even left us a cute welcome gift of local winery wine, cooler and glasses! We can’t wait to return!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The house is conveniently located close to groceries, shopping, and the beach. The house is located in a beautiful setting of 13 homes surrounding a pond. It was well-stocked with just about anything a family could need. Our family especially enjoyed the pool and platform tennis. A gem in new Buffalo.

Our family of 8 adults, toddler and infant had a wonderful time. The pool is beautiful, convenient and most enjoyable. Quick drive to the beach. Easy walk to New Buffalo stores and restaurants. The home was very comfortable, great for family dinners and games. Owners include everything needed for a great vacation stay!

We had a wonderful time. The owners were super communicative, helpful and generous. The house itself is well appointed, with everything you could need or want during your say - fully stocked kitchen, TV/Wifi, sound, gas grill and most importantly for us, access to the association pool. Even on a busy weekend when the public New Buffalo beach was super packed, the association pool only had a few people and there was plenty of room for the kids to play. It’s a quiet association neighborhood that felt removed from downtown New Buffalo yet downtown was only a few minute walk away! It was perfect for our small group with three kids and four adults.

We had another wonderful stay at Our Happy Place. The location to downtown New Buffalo is perfect. It is simply a short walk into town. The community pool is just steps away from the back door plus the hot tub is an added bonus! Very easy check in and check out. Thanks again for helping us have a wonderful trip to New Buffalo!
