About this property

Charming & cozy in-town retreat in the heart of New Buffalo

This unique and charming cottage located just steps away from downtown New Buffalo, in the heart of Harbor country. Perfect for a Chicago family getaway, or a romantic retreat. The interior is bright and has an open floor plan, including a kitchen built for creating amazing meals! The yard is large and private with a grill, table, outdoor chairs, and a large fire pit, firewood included. The cottage has wireless internet and cable. Amenities include a spacious back yard, dual flush toilet, radiant floor heat in bathroom, and energy star appliances. A backyard shed includes two adult bikes and we're just a few blocks away from Beer Church and Lions Pavillion Park and Beach. *New fenced in back yard so the pups can roam a bit more freely (just be sure to double check the gate :)

*Please note that we have an exterior camera positioned to view the front door. This camera is for both security reasons and to help guests that might have any issues gaining access to the home.

Enjoyable stay

Quick get away for my husband and me. The house was nice. Check-in was seamless. Our host even checked in with us to confirm we didn’t need anything during our stay. Host was very responsive when we had questions. Wasn’t the warmest weather but we enjoyed the indoor fireplace in this cozy cottage. Our stay was very enjoyable!

Great Weekend out of the City

Location is great and back yard is awesome for our dog to run and relax. Was just what my wife and I were looking for. Short distance from downtown Chicago but far enough away for some quiet time.

Heavenly Stay at the Cottage

We loved staying at Marcus' place! It was such a darling cottage and the perfect getaway from the city. We especially appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. We cooked all our meals and even some desserts at the cottage and the kitchen was stocked with all the supplies we needed and then some. I would love to stay here again!

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.
