About this property

Cozy New Buffalo cottage with hot tub & fire pit. Short walk to downtown!

You are walking distance to downtown, restaurants & the beach. New Buffalo has a well known wine trail to enjoy with some great hiking. Take a dip in our steamy hot tub or roast marshmallows in our fire pit! Rain in the forecast...no worries we have plenty of board games or cozy up on the couch and read a good book.

This is our 5th year in a row staying at "the blue house" for our annual girls weekend. This home has everything you need to feel comfortable and taken care of! It is a short distance from restaurants and the beach - can't beat that! Our host, Brittany, was amazing as always! She is very accommodating to our requests and communicates extremely well before, during and after our stay. We love coming here and have no plans to change our location for girls weekend anytime soon. You won't regret staying here!
