⚠ ONLY 4 night minimum required Memorial Day thru Labor Day.

Tucked away in the serene Walden cottage enclave, Tallgrass Cottage is a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature yet conveniently close to the heart of New Buffalo. Just a short walk to downtown and less than a mile from the beach, this inviting getaway is only 70 miles from Chicago.

Step inside and feel the stress melt away as natural Michigan light pours in through skylights and expansive windows. Thoughtfully designed with vaulted ceilings, an open-concept living space, and modern comforts like granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, Tallgrass Cottage is the perfect home base for your Harbor Country adventures.

Explore the area's many attractions—wine tastings at local vineyards, seasonal festivals, world-class antiquing, kayaking, fishing, and championship golf. After a day of exploration, unwind on the open deck, relax with a book on the screened-in porch, or enjoy a meal at one of New Buffalo’s fantastic restaurants. With three bedrooms, three full baths, and a spacious activity loft, Tallgrass comfortably accommodates up to six guests.

Escape the city, breathe in the fresh air, and experience the beauty of Harbor Country.

Bring food, drinks, personal items, and the good times.
