Great cabin & location!

We loved our stay in New Buffalo. This cabin has so much character and we really enjoyed the proximity to downtown as well. We walked to the beach in the morning and were able to walk to restaurants too. The coffee amenities were a delightful addition to our stay as well.

Wonderful stay

The photos don’t do this rental justice - it’s so homey and cute. Everything was spotless, and the beds were comfortable. It was easy to stay home and make dinner, and we had a lot of fun using the bonfire outside. It’s also a short walk to the main restaurants in town. We’ll definitely be staying here again.
