Adorable Downtown Cottage w/ Firepit, Fireplace, WiFi, & Yard - Walk Everywhere!

With incredible wall-to-wall windows that let the natural light pour in, this quaint cottage tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of New Buffalo will place you mere blocks from the heart of downtown. Step inside to find a beautifully maintained, air-conditioned space with whimsical decor, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen and dining area that give the home a decidedly spacious feel. Enjoy a kitchen with every essential and a peninsula breakfast bar, a dining space with a beautiful wood table, and a living room with a large, comfortable sectional sofa, a gas-powered fireplace, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV.

Soak up the summer sunshine outside on the front deck, where cafe tables and chairs overlook the large, fenced-in yard with a lush lawn, mature trees, and an in-ground firepit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs. There's also a rear patio with a grill for outdoor cooking, a table with seating for four, and an outdoor shower to welcome you home from New Buffalo Beach (three-quarters of a mile north) each afternoon. At night, two comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen-size bed and one with a pair of twin beds - and a full bathroom are adjacent to the kitchen.

And for those who love a nice stroll, downtown New Buffalo is only a two blocks away, offering great shopping and wonderful eateries such as Bentwood Tavern, Stray Dog Saloon, David's Deli, and Casey's, to name just a few.

Jacqui E. Nov 2021
Accommodation was in a good area, walkable. House was clean but had cobwebs in some of the decor. Beds were small and uncomfortable. Kitchen was nice and well appointed.
Would return to new buffalo (excellent food scene) but would not rent this house again.
Manager response:
Jacqui, thank you for your review. We apologize for any cleanliness issues you experienced; please know this is not a common occurrence. We are sorry for any discomfort the beds caused. While they are in good working order, each guest has their own unique preferences. We appreciate your feedback as a means to improve and hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future.

Perfect getaway cottage in New Buffalo. Comfortable to sleep. Great common area inside and fire pit outside. Walk to town in minutes.

The location of the cottage was perfect. We walked to the beach and ice cream nightly. It was a great starting point for our adventures.

The Happy Thoughts Cottage is a delightful find. We shared the cottage with another couple. Clean and accommodating. Anxious to plan another get away to the area, my wife and I will be back over winter and just hunker in. The cottage is wonderful!

This group of women is thrilled to have been part of the inaugural season of Happy Thoughts cottage! It was comfortable, charming, clean and convenient and one of our favorite rentals in Harbor Country. On one rainy morning, we discussed how we wouldn`t even mind spending the day inside with a good book and just enjoying the charm of the this lovely home! One of the first things we did on arrival was to bring our drinks and snacks outside to the relaxing sitting area around the firepit and and discuss our plans for the weekend. Everything was impeccably clean, both inside and out. We enjoyed some favorite local restaurants Stray Dog and Casey`s and some delicious crepes just up the street from the house. An easy drive into Three Oaks to Journeyman Distillery, Staymakers restaurant, shopping and a movie; and the usual treks up and down Red Arrow for some unique antique stores, gift shops and eateries.
