Livywood Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Situated on a double lot surrounded by trees, this cozy New Buffalo house offers a shaded oasis perfect for family getaways or groups of friends, no matter the time of year. In the summer, guests can take a leisurely stroll or ride in the provided golf cart and wagon (children may not drive it, nor can it be taken to the golf course- Available Memorial Day - Labor Day) to the private beach for a day of sun and sand. For those who want to venture further, numerous scenic parks, golf courses, museums, tourist attractions, and local restaurants are all only a short drive away.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming open-concept living space and an abundance of natural light. Lounge blissfully as you watch your favorite shows or head over to the well-equipped kitchen to make anything from a cup of coffee to hearty meals. During the warmer months, sear your meals to perfection on the gas grill as the kids frolic in the yard. Indulge together inside or eat on the screened-in porch to feel the warm breeze as you dine. As the evening’s activities wind down, retreat to any of the comfortable beds for a good night’s rest. Thoughtful touches like closet organizers, books to peruse, and a guitar for the musically inclined in the primary bedroom truly make this a home away from home.

Great place to be on Lake Michigan

The hosts had EVERYTHING we needed! Trusting us with the golf cart put our approval over the top. Made going to beach so much fun. I would love to come back and stay again!

Amazing stay!

We loved our stay here! The house is AMAZING! So clean and nice. Amazing kitchen and cooking supplies. Loved the screened in porch. Located 10 minutes from New Buffalo- we loved the public beach there. There is a beach called “Sunset beach” that’s about a 10 minute walk (you can’t park your golf cart there) or a 5 minute golf cart ride called Grand Beach (golf cart parking only) both beaches are private but very rocky and full of sticks etc… would still highly recommend this stay!

Beautiful home built for relaxation!

The home was perfect for us! High-end appliances throughout, clean and loaded with items for your trip to the beach! The screened in porch was a highlight! The beds were comfortable, space was not an issue and did I mention the 5-minute walk to the beach?? We will definitely stay here again!
