Mid Century Meets Rustic Charm
Absolutely Loved Our Stay! We had such a great time at this adorable Airbnb! The place is decorated so cute—every detail felt thoughtfully curated and cozy, with a really fun and welcoming vibe. One of our favorite touches was the bright yellow refrigerator—it adds so much charm and character to the space, and honestly made us smile every time we saw it! The outdoor amenities were amazing. You can spend your evenings relaxing in the hot tub and hanging out by the fire pit under the stars—it’s peaceful, private, and the perfect way to wind down after a day of exploring. Speaking of exploring, the location couldn’t have been better. The nearby town is absolutely beautiful, full of great restaurants, cute shops, and some incredible wineries. We loved being able to enjoy a day of wine tasting and then come back to such a relaxing and stylish home. Highly recommend staying here—we're already talking about planning our next visit!

The Oriole
My mom and I stayed here for a short girls trip. The place was extremely cute and comfortable with a great view of the lake across the street. The weather didn’t cooperate for us but the bikes would have been great to use to ride around town. Check-in was simple and Ethan was easy to work with and responsive. Definitely will stay again.

Secluded dog-friendly cabin - hot tub & game room!
Stay was excellent. Very peaceful and relaxing. Lots to do in the house to keep you busy. You also get to enjoy a bonfire outside. Would recommend for a weekend getaway!

Hot tub! Red Tin Cottage of Harbor Country!
My stay with kate was perfect. The space was clean and exactly as described. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The hot tub and yard were great additions to our stay. The neighborhood was quiet, making for a very relaxing stay. I recommend this spot for all, perfect for a girls trip or a family getaway. Plus, the hosts were incredibly accommodating!!

J’s Beach House: Hot Tub & short walk to beach!
Jen was so sweet, messaged back right away and gave us a list of things to do while we were there on a mini vacation visiting family. Hot tub and deck so clean, amazing and private Thank you and Happy holidays.

Hot tub open year round in modern/rustic cottage!
Perfect stay! The house was adorable, cozy and in a perfect location. Everything was super clean, including the amazing hot tub. The hosts were very responsive to inquiries and spot on with their recommendations for local eats and things to do in the area. I’d highly recommend this spot to anyone!

Perfect Get Away - Private Hot Tub - Lots of Room
We loved staying in this adorable lake house in New Buffalo! It's a perfect location and is within walking distance of many restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach! This house was ideal for a large group and housed 10 adults and 3 children comfortably. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're planning on coming to New Buffalo!

Captains Quarters Cottage-Cozy, Downtown Douglas
We absolutely loved our stay at The Captains Quarters! It is an adorable little cottage in a great location. The hot tub was a big hit- very clean & well maintained. We’d stay again in heartbeat! Dragan was a fantastic host- very responsive. 5 STARS ALL DAY LONG!

Freshly Renovated 1940s "Sunshine Park Cottage"
We absolutely loved staying at the cottage with our two pups! It was located directly in the middle of all of the things we wanted to do, it was within walking distance of good food, and just minutes of a drive from wineries, orchards, farmers markets, and the lake. It was very clean, extremely comfy and homey, as well as our lovely hosts thought of pretty much everything that you could possibly need to be comfortable! Including my saving grace, a box fan and a little fan that they provided in the closets. Those were a lifesaver! While there is no fenced in area for the dogs to play, there is a lovely large yard space for them to be walked and there are so many parks and hiking trails nearby that our dogs LOVED! Our hosts gave us amazing recommendations and were extremely responsive. We cannot wait to visit again.

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!

Cottage near Hagar Beach Pet friendly with Hot tub
The house was as described and pictured. We had a wonderful weekend. Enjoyed the hot tub both nights. Towels for the hot tub were provided. The house had everything we needed. Close to several great beaches and hiking areas! Comfortable beds and furniture. Very clean.

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!

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!

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!

Starry Night Cottage
Our family really enjoys this area of Michigan and have now visited four times in the last 2.5 years. Tracey made the process so easy and an enjoyable experience especially since we have two small dogs. Besides all of the other reviewers statements I'll add that there were room darkening shades, a must for me on vacation and the beds were comfortable too. The kitchen had more than enough room to make meals and simply enjoy ourselves as a family. We were so content with this space we're already planning our summer trip and bringing additional friends with us who can share in the relaxation and enjoyment of this home and delightful area along Lake Michigan.

Water's Edge Escape
Great location and very responsive host. The outdoor furniture has been updated from the pictures. Hosts really went above and beyond with thinking about the “extras” like having ziplock bags, s’more sticks, a mini speaker and other small thoughtful things available. My only complaint was the size of the bathroom. Your knees are literally touching the tub when you’re sitting on the toilet. Everything else was great and we enjoyed our stay! Loved the lake house decor inside!
Private cottage rentals

Cozy. Clean. Close to the beach and wineries
Our little family had a wonderful time at Valerye's place. It was very cozy and peaceful. The cottage was stocked with a ton of amenities and necessities. The location was perfect to visit all the places we wanted to go. Hagar Park is just a quick drive down the road, it is beautiful even this time of year. Would love to come back during the summer.

Riverside Cottage
Our family had a great time in South Haven and enjoyed Riverside Cottage! There were plenty of beds for the six of us, and our adult son enjoyed sleeping on the screened-in porch surrounded by the sounds of nature. one note is that we didn't realize there was just one shower. The other bathroom has a bathtub only.

Lake Michigan Cottage With Private Beach Access
Lovely cabin for a girls weekend. Great central location for day trips to South Haven and Saugatuck.

Country Cottage with access to all sports lake
Excellent Host, Fantastic property!

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!

Tranquil Lakeview Cottage, Sleeps 6.
Fantastic location!! Stayed in the area due to a wedding. My family and I couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Allie was extremely quick to respond to any questions/concerns we might of had. The home is exactly as described, very cozy. The deck and the views of the lake were fantastic. You are close and far away from everything if you understand what I mean. Most definitely would stay again!! Thank you Allie for allowing us to stay. 5 stars across 👍👍👍👍👍

Elephant Walk- Cottage 4
Erica and Fred are amazing hosts! We frequent this area and always seem to come back to Elephant Walk for the charm and memories. Our kids love the space and proximity to the beach and Red Arrow Road House. Erica and Fred are so kind and helpful. It’s easy to feel at home when you stay here. The cottage has everything you need. I highly recommend this place! Thanks guys!

Lonnie's Private Eco Cottage with Lake & Trails
Charming, romantic, rustic, peaceful. Cannot overstate how lovely our stay was. The cottage is just as described and provided everything we needed to have the weekend away that we wanted. Highly recommend getting out in the early morning to go deer spotting! We walked the entirety of the trails and enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely staying here again!
