About this property

Luxury vacation cottage - walk to downtown New Buffalo, beach, and heated pool!

Welcome to our vacation home! Newly built in December 2019, Riverview Cottage is located in the heart of downtown New Buffalo in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. Our house is on a deadend street overlooking the Galien River marsh with great sunset views. You can walk to everything - just a few blocks from restaurants (Stray Dog, Redamaks, etc), the local grocery store, shops, and public beach. Close to the casino, wineries, and breweries of Harbor Country. Spend the day at the beach or hang out at our private heated association pool just steps from the house. This house is beautifully decorated and designed for large group vacations. Our house has a fully stocked gourmet kitchen with a dining table that seats 12 comfortably, a living room with large TV and gas fireplace, a fun and relaxing basement which includes a large TV, card table, and gorgeous custom wet bar. Relax with a cocktail on the covered front porch or chill out with a book on the enclosed back patio. Our backyard includes an outdoor dining table, a gas grill, a fire pit, and an outdoor shower. Everything you would need to build wonderful memories with friends and family!

*We kindly ask no reservation requests for bachelor or bachelorette parties.

Perfect spot for a group with kids

The kids loved the pool and the easy scooter ride to the beach. Parents were able to enjoy time walking thru the little town, eating and drinking at local spots and it was so easy to spend hours at the beach with the whole crew.

Great House in a Great Town

This was our third time to New Buffalo and first time in this house. Dan and Jewel were excellent hosts - friendly, quick to reply, and provided everything we needed for our stay. The house is wonderfully decorated, has quality fixtures, kitchen supplies, and thoughtful details. The walkability is unbeatable. I couldn't recommend this home and neighborhood more.

Highly recommend!

We loved this house! Not only is the style of the house impeccable and adorable, but it was also nicely equipped from dishes to linens to shampoo and conditioner. The location cannot be beat! We love walking to the beach, downtown and pool. The street is quiet and safe (you don’t really notice the trains coming through and when you do, they are gone so quickly. The owner is super responsive and kind. The community pool could use some cleaning and a few updated chairs but this house is perfect and we had the best time!

We live and work near Chicago and love that New Buffalo is just a little over an hour away as a quick getaway.

Why they chose this property

We are so close to everything. We love how we can leave the car at home and go for a walk or bike ride to the beach, grab a bite to eat, pick up something at the grocery store - so convenient!
