Relaxing & felt right at home

Upon arrival we enjoyed unpacking while listening to the whole house audio system. We used the fire pit, & made smores with the provided marshmallow sticks. Our dogs had fun in the fenced in yard. The beach chairs, & wagon were convenient for when we went to the beach. Also, enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. The decor was lovely, & we felt relaxed in the home. Such a pleasant vacation for our family!

Perfect for a trip to New Buffalo

Impeccably designed home with skylights all over letting in so much natural light. It was an enjoyable place to spend time. The backyard was fenced which was great for the kids. Outdoor spigot made it easy to hose off our sandy beach supplies. There is a small playground just two blocks away. The downtown area is about a 10-20 minute walk depending on where you’re headed. Definitely 20 minutes to the beach. Communication with the host was easy and speedy. We will definitely be back!

This place is so useful…as my 5 year old said

Wow. This place has been our favorite Lake MI rental in years. It was incredibly clean. And so many thoughtful things in the home. From laundry detergent, firewood, kindling, anything you could need to make the stay wonderful. My son LOVED the tree swing. The backyard was a total escape from life, we loved it. The hammock…wow. I’ve already found the same one on Amazon for our home because it’s a dream. The location was great. We were able to walk to several places but also quick to get on the highway. My only complaint is the size of the beds and the second bed upstairs not advertised as a loft, so there is no door. Those things aside we loved it and hope to come back.

Lovely spot for a mother-daughter getaway

My daughter and I were in town for a bachelorette party with the rest of the guest staying at a different property. We just need a small space for the two of us and this cottage worked out so perfectly. Big beautiful backyard, fenced in for our dog who came along. Quiet area, some road noise but that doesn’t bother us. Very nicely equipped kitchen and bathroom, very comfortable and cute design. Would definitely recommend! Also the host was extremely responsive and helpful and friendly - thank you

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 Property

My partner and I had a great time at this place. The location was perfect as it was very close to all the shops and restaurants in downtown New Buffalo and the beach. Loved the bedroom loft with skylights and it also had its own TV. The kitchen had everything you would need if you like to cook your own meals. Marcus was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. All in all I would highly recommend this place.

Fabulous Friends

AMAZING! We had only two nights, but wished we’d had several more. Our first night, we sat by the fire pit- so relaxing. The cottage had so many small touches including a gift basket upon arrival, quality soaps, coffee grinder, extra towels, etc. It is filled with quality furnishings and appliances. Beds were comfortable! Downtown is walking distance, which I’m sure would be a huge advantage in season. We will definitely stay here again if it’s available when we visit.

Such a Treasure

We came up from Chicagoland with two pups and two kiddos (9 & 6) and had such a fabulous weekend. Marcus & Tony were amazing hosts and very easy to communicate with. We walked all over town and to the beach, ate ice cream at Nancy’s & Oinks, Dinner at Salty Dog and breakfast at Jackie’s. The backyard is fabulous and we are already planning our next stay.
