    The house was fantastic, especially for someone with multiple small kids like us. They had everything we could need there and it all was in excellent working condition. No detail was spared to make this a worry free and fantastic place to stay to enjoy a summer holiday getaway. The location also couldn’t have been better and the community pool was a hit for all. Thank you!

    We have been coming to New Buffalo for a decade as part of an annual family trip that has been going on for over 20 years. This is the first time that we’ve stayed longer than a weekend and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. The house was well equipped for children, was very clean and stocked with provisions for vacation, and the location is fantastic. It’s easy to get downtown and to the beach while also having fantastic pool access. Check In/Out was very easy.

    We love staying at homes in ‘merchant st cottages’ area. This is our favorite home in the neighborhood because of the layout and cleanliness. Communication with owner is great. Thankful to stay at such a nice place.

    It’s a great place to stay, and explore the little town, and is so close to the beach. One thing I was upset, the information they provided, it says “pool heated” included but it end up not been available, it’s not even cleaned. But overall great place to stay

    Host Michael was great. House was clean. The location is unbeatable. We stayed at the house with another family, so 4 adults and 4 kids ages 4-8. Location to the library (it is a wonderful kid friendly library, we spent almost 2 hours there), breakfast, coffee, beach was all exactly what we wanted. And no surprise the kids loved the arcade in the basement, and the secret loft area. We stayed in middle of winter so it was nice have a garage spot as well.We would stay here again.

    This was our third time staying at this property, and it was great as always! It’s the perfect spot for families with kids - close to everything, and the basement (arcade games, pool table, foosball) sets this house apart from the other Merchant St Cottages we’ve stayed at. The host is very responsive and helpful. We’ll be back!

    Our family enjoyed our time here SO much. There was something to entertain all of the kids in the arcade area when the weather outside was not the best. When the weather improved, we were walking distance to everything. The house was perfect. It was everything I could’ve hoped for. Thank you!

    This house is beautiful! The layout and location are so ideal. A short walk to the beach, and a block or two from downtown and the grocery store. We never needed to use our car. Our family had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to be back next summer!

    We had a wonderful stay in New Buffalo! The house was welcoming and fully loaded with anything we may have needed or forgotten. The pool is a few steps away and the downtown shops, dining, and beach are an easy walk from the property also. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the covered front porch with our morning coffee.

    Thank you once again to Mike. We have enjoyed this home for several years and feel so comfortable there. The house is stocked with all the amenities you will need for a wonderful family vacation with children or just a weekend with adults to play games and have fun. The pool is perfect for taking a swim or exercise and area is kept very clean. The Merchant Cottages are truly a very nice village, and with the town, the beach and all the restaurants near by everything is in walking distance. We are so happy to have our vacation here. Thank you!
