The Wisteria Cottage is a sweet retreat with screened porch, outside patio, grill and fire pit. The house is surrounded by flower gardens and is beautifully furnished for all to enjoy
We had a wonderful time! House was great, definitely hope to stay again. Plenty of different beaches to explore so close by some in walking distance. Jan was so very helpful, kind and responsive! The flowers were beautiful and much enjoyed while ending our day with a fire.
Very quaint home with a beautiful yard of flowers and a cute little pond. With a really cool pergola and screened in porch. Conveniently located between New Buffalo and Michigan City.
The house was great and the gardens around the house was amazing, very peaceful. Great location, just a few minutes from New Buffalo and Jan was great. Def would stay again.

Jan was so nice and easy to work with with all my many questions. Fireplace was my favorite because we stayed during the snow apocalypse of 2026. We look forward to another visit during warmer weather to experience the yard. House stayed toasty even if the fireplace wasn't going. I do advise as someone who is a bit particular on cookware and if you're planning to cook most meals while staying it wouldn't hurt to bring just a few pots and pans. Not saying what they have wouldn't work for a couple's weekend. I'm a cast iron pan/skillet by preference so no offense intended. Regardless we loved the stay.
We had a wonderful time staying here. The cottage was very clean and cozy. The beautiful landscaping added an extra pleasure to our stay. The hosts were amazing! We will definitely be staying here again!! Highly recommend the hosts and the cottage!
Great getaway cottage with awesome landscaping, a big fire ring and a real fireplace. The hosts take really good care of the property and they are very nice people. We always enjoy staying here.
Backyard was gorgeous!! We spent most of our time there enjoying all the beautiful flowers and water features. Jan and her husband were wonderful to meet and gave us some really yummy dinner places to try. We would stay here again!!
Spent a weekend here. Owners very friendly and helpful. House was cute and clean. We had everything we needed. Quaint area with friendly people. Good restaurants nearby. Great American Legion Poat down the street. Would definitely rent again.
Very beautiful outdoor space. Very cozy and lovely indoor space. Need more storage for personal items such as a dresser available for guests. Very very friendly and wonderful host available as needed yet also ensuring a privacy and the feeling of it being just for you.
We enjoyed our stay. We loved the enclosed porch and the beautiful surrounding garden. The sleeping quarters was tight but were able to navigate through it. We would recommend it for any couple looking for a quick get away. It is a little tight for families, especially with the sleeping arrangements and one bathroom. Other than that... Absolutely amazing.
My husband and I were in the area for a weekend getaway. The house is immaculately kept. Very cozy little home. The garden and back porch are lovely-a great place to drink morning coffee or read. Located minutes from everything. Excellent communication from the host. I'd give more than 5 stars if i could! Highly recommend this place.
such a wonderful place to stay. The owners hospitality was lovely and contributed to our family’s happiness throughout the stay.
We are still talking about your place afterwards and how the butterflies were unbelievable in the incredible yard! And the spaciousness of this little cottage felt enormous to us with the rooms and the outdoor spaces we felt like we were in a really special and well loved and cared for place.
Warmest regards,
Kris
This is a very cute little cottage! Nice and cozy and has everything you need! It is right off of the highway so really convenient to get to. There is a train that goes by out front but, the house is surrounded with beautiful landscaping and plants and it’s like you’re in your own little world inside the home and out in the back of the house. The back has a small little pond with a water fountain, a nice deck and screened in porch that overlooks the pretty garden/patio area with a fire pit, grill, table with umbrella, & 2 bikes! So cute and cozy. We stayed for our anniversary. It’s a great place for a couple to be comfortable and relaxed!
Beautiful setting. Signage to property needs to be better,as we drove by the place 3 times before we got out of the car and walked up to the house to see the address
We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s place! We especially loved all the outdoor seating spots. Everything was super clean and Jan was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!!
