Although only two blocks from desirable Whittaker Street - and walkable to everything New Buffalo has to offer - this charming, centrally located cottage is tucked onto a quiet, well-established street surrounded by trees, which will give you a feeling of a private escape while still being close to all the action. Return home to soak in your bubbling private hot tub after a day of adventure.

Inside, the main living space is filled with natural light courtesy of the bay windows and exudes character thanks to original hardwood floors. With an oversized sectional, it’s a hub for gathering any time of day and features a smart TV with streaming capabilities, as well as many movies, books, and games for kids and adults. Next, check out the kitchen, which is well-equipped and stocked with all the gadgets you need to whip up a feast or a snack. The adjacent dining room is perfect for gathering and seats eight. Feel more like surfing the web or listening to music? No problem – there’s high-speed WiFi and a Bose sounds system in the living room.

When it's time to head out and explore, your location couldn't be better, as the home is located on the lake side of Red Arrow Highway, just blocks from restaurants, boutiques, antique stores, the grocery store, the marina, and the beach. After a busy day out, return to your cozy nest, and if the weather permits, enjoy your large, private yard, patio, gas grill, and fire pit area. This lovely cottage is the perfect all-season getaway, with access to wineries and breweries, casinos (free shuttle to Four Winds), golf courses, The Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall, farmers markets, and more – book today!
