About This Home

Whether you're dreaming of a personal getaway or seeking a successful vacation rental, this turnkey Michiana cottage is all about easy living and good times! Guests love the lake views out front, heated pool out back, and plenty of space to host family and friends. The living room has that cozy ''sit and stay awhile'' feel with its stone fireplace and warm wood details, while the bright, open kitchen is perfect for weekend pancakes or evening wine after a day at the beach. The screen porch is a favorite hangout spot, overlooking the spacious backyard and pool; the kind of place where summer mornings and late nights happen naturally. The lower level offers extra space for guests to spread out, and the seasonal 350sqft loft over the garage adds even more room to play or sleep. All of this is just a block away to Michiana's beaches and parks, in a golf cart friendly neighborhood, near downtown New Buffalo, and only about an hour from Chicago.
