The Cottage of Harbor Country - Close to it all!
My two kids and I loved staying here. It’s a special and cozy place to get away for a few days. We especially loved the hot tub! Herb was extremely responsive and an A+ host!

Casa Playa New House in Union Pier w/ Private Spa
This is a great place, exactly as advertised. We loved the hot tub and all the fun stuff to do nearby.

Hot tub! Blue Bird Cottage of Harbor Country!
If you're looking for a quaint, cozy place to stay, especially for a couples getaway, I would highly recommend the Blue Bird Cottage. We truly enjoyed our stay. The amenities listed were spot-on (especially the Hot Tub on those cool spring evenings). The place was clean, the towels were plentiful, & the local attractions were in walking-distance. Now, tbh, if you're over 6ft like I am, you're going to have to watch your head in some areas in the basement (however, there is a sign stating just that as you go down the stairs). The gaming area in the basement is height-accommodating, fyi. Overall, the place is exceptional, & Kate's communication is top-tier. We didn't have any issues, & we're already planning our next quick getaway. Looking forward to booking The Blue Bird again soon.

Blueberry Fields/ House and Retreat
My fiancé and I visited Donna’s place over a summer weekend, and we had the most amazing time. Donna’s house is so beautiful and welcoming - we felt at home. Her place was clean and is filled with the most thoughtful decor. It has everything anyone needs for a peaceful, relaxing stay. She was responsive right from the day of booking to our final day and even stopped by to meet us in person. We look forward to staying at her house again soon!

Northwind Llama retreat 'Loft Cottage'
We had a lovely stay at NWL. It was just the holiday break we needed! Cozy living quarters, full kitchen, a pasture full of beautiful llamas and a couple very sweet doggos. Can't wait to come stay again! Highly recommend!

New Buffalo retreat - Perfect year-round getaway!
We really enjoyed our time here. We stayed as a family of four and our dog. The house is very welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Our kids loved all the board games, and the backyard was fun for the kids and the dog, too. The living room is spacious and makes you feel right at home. This was our third Airbnb in New Buffalo, and it’s definitely our favorite! Colton and Abbey have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making sure the house has everything you need. They are responsive and friendly hosts. We would stay here again!

"The Pines" in Union Pier: Year-round getaway
I have been renting Airbnb for years and hands down John’s house was the best house I have ever stayed at. The beds were incredible ( please tell me where you got your pillows and bedding). There was lovely screened porch and great room. Every amenity was available. It was a very special weekend and we had a front row view of many deer in the area. Thank you for being such a great host. We will be back !

DKM Cottage - 15 minute walk to Lake Michigan
What a beautiful location! Loved all the trees, beautiful yard to play games, super big fire pit, deck and grill was spotless! The inside was nice and spacious for the size. Great kitchen and bathrooms. The basement was large! We had an incredible time. Would come back for a longer vacation!

Family friendly new house in woods /great for kids
Yes and yes!! We loved our stay at Anna’s place. From the treehouse to the glass windows to the ease of use - this was a great spot for our family of 5 Fall getaway. My 7 year old just kept saying Can it get any better?! We loved it..:.Thank you!

Camp Wanderlust-Cozy lodge-20 minute walk to beach
We loved our stay! Quick walk to coffee shops or the lake. Great location just a short drive from New Buffalo, Three Oaks and the other surrounding towns. We took our kids and dogs to Warren Sand Dunes State Park (also only a 15 minute drive) which was the highlight of the trip. We’ll be back!

Twin Cottage A- Walk to Beach & Town!
Nick and Michael were incredibly responsive and friendly and offered to help us find dog friendly spots, gave us a list of places and suggestions. The place was super cozy, clean and pleasant. The yard is awesome, totally fenced in. Despite the rain, we still had a good time and dogs had a lot of fun in the yard!

Cottage with Character
The house was perfrct for us and our dog. The binder our host left was full of great recommendations and useful instructions. The location itself is in a convenient area. Walking distance to good restaurants and shops, and short drives to wineries and the lake. The yard is huge and our dog lived running around. We appreciated the fully fenced area for her. We'd love to be back in the summer months. The only thing I would've preferred is an earlier check in.

Barron Lake front Cottage. Notre Dame Nearby!
Great host and great place to stay while visiting the area!

Cozy Lake House with Bonus Guest Cottage!
Sandy's house was very comfortable and cute. The house has many different places places to hang out (living room, porch, fire pit area, and patio area). Each area is very peaceful. Our group had such a great time hanging out there and it was about 2-3 blocks walk to the beach. Sandy had flowers from her garden in vases for us and made us feel like we were home. We would definitely stay at Sandy's again!

Bright Beach-Community/Winter Wonderland Cottage
Louise's house is magical. I've never felt more at home in an Airbnb. The minute you open the door, you are surrounded by the beautiful colors in her gorgeous fabrics and rugs. Louise has thought of everything-from lots of towels (high humidity area and longer drying time), an incredibly well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and lots of different seating areas and options. The screened in porch is beyond relaxing. Early mornings on the porch, listening to the birds, was my favorite way to start the day. The neighborhood beaches (15 minute walk) were private, quiet, and beautiful. Sunset at Stop 39 is the best. The beach town of New Buffalo is only a 10 minute drive, with fun rooftop restaurants and a larger beach. A farm for blueberry picking is also close by. We hope to return to Louise's again!

Channel House on Indian Lake
Seven of us (3 adults and 4 teens- ages 12-18) enjoyed our stay over Labor Day weekend! Melissa stocked the house with games (indoor and outdoor!), linens, everything you’d need in a kitchen, and even firewood for the fire pit! We were delighted to find 4 kayaks with every size life vest we could possibly need in the garage. And the kids LOVED having a bunkhouse to themselves. We spent the weekend fishing, playing games, cooking, and enjoying a private channel off the lake. It was ideal! Melissa responded incredibly quickly and was kind and thoughtful from start to finish.

Gram's cottage: Convenient to ND, New Buff & AWS
Jacqueline was very helpful and descriptive about everything regarding our visit. Her home felt very peaceful and is a great choice if a lake is what you are looking for. Will likely stay here again.

Beachwalk’s Cozy Cottage - Farmhouse decor
Had a wonderful stay here. Very clean house in a great neighborhood.

Nauti Cottage-Minutes from St Joe-Dog Friendly
Cozy atmosphere! The kitchen was well appointed with dishes and cookware. There were plenty of towels, cleaning supplies, etc, and a nice touch was that each bedside table had a block with lots of outlets to plug things in. Thank you!

Pine Lake water side Beach House
We enjoyed our stay for the weekend. The home was comfortable and spotless. We'd love to stay here again in the future!
