Modern Cottage "M" Luxury home w/hot tub, community pool-walk to town & beach

Welcome to Modern Cottage “M”. Be the first to reserve this luxury cottage. A classy cottage with 4 bedroom and 3.5 bath within the popular Merchant Street Cottage Development. This luxury cottage has everything – plenty of living space for large groups, a private hot tub, steps away from downtown, walkable to the beach and all the amenities you need to create wonderful memories.

Cottage "M" is designed for a large family or a group vacation. Starting with an open concept kitchen/dining/living area with a gas fireplace on the first floor and entertainment room on the lower level. Enjoy a glass of wine in our wrap around screened in porch, while you gather with your family or friends for a "Pure Michigan" evening. Enjoy the private hot tub and an outdoor shower to rinse off right out the back door. Just steps away, you can access the community pool – but not too close so you can relax on the front porch while enjoying your favorite beverage in a quiet setting.

As you enter the house, you will find a large dining room table with comfortable seating for 8. The gourmet kitchen is to your left that includes additional seating at the counter and top-notch appliances with lots of cabinets and counter space. Virtually everything you need has been thought of. Off the kitchen, you will find a living area that includes a large Sony TV and gas fireplace with comfortable seating to gather with family and friends.

A powder room, office area, and large master bedroom with cozy bedding and generous closet space, is also located on the first level. The ensuite master bathroom includes a double sink and a steam shower - an added bonus for sure!

Downstairs is where you will find a large entertainment area with a family room and Sony TV with more comfortable seating to gather. Why not enjoy a game of pool or play games? It’s a perfect spot for both. This room is a warm, cozy area to gather on a rainy day or a cold winter night. On the same floor, there is a large queen bedroom with plenty of closet space and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks, and a shower/tub. The laundry room equipped with a Samsung washer and dryer is located on this level too.
On the second floor, you will find 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The first bedroom is beyond large and includes 2 full beds and a large closet with shelving. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a spacious closet also with shelving. The hallway bathroom includes a shower with double sinks. The second floor also includes a loft space.

The attached garage is all yours for your stay and you can easily park two more cars in the driveway. Also included in the garage are beach chairs, beach wagon, two bikes, paddle board and paddle board trailer, 4 pickle ball rackets and spike net. So much fun awaits you.

Cottage "M" is just a short 5-minute walk to Starbucks, Stray Dog, Casey’s, Brewster’s…. and don’t forget the magnificent Lake Michigan beach. Our location is ideal in so many ways. Just an hour from Chicago by car or Amtrak (the stop is just a few blocks away). Hop on a shuttle to Four Winds casino or a short drive to the Outlet Mall. Also, Harbor Country has so much to offer-boating on Lake Michigan, swimming at the beach, biking, touring wineries and microbreweries and playing a round of golf at one of the magnificent golf courses close by.

Make your reservation today to start making fantastic memories and say Yes to Michigan and Cottage "M"!

Perfect Getaway in New Buffalo!

We had an excellent stay at this beautiful rental in New Buffalo, Michigan. Perfect spot for a quick fall trip with sisters! The location is fantastic—close to downtown, restaurants, and all the charm New Buffalo has to offer. The host was incredibly responsive and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this Vrbo to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-appointed retreat!

Large, clean and super convenient to all fun New Buffalo activities! Many beds and baths and the right amount of shared space for a large group--including a glassed in back porch and a basement community area and a covered front porch. The heated community pool is steps away and, if it is busy or inclement, the private hottub is just out back. Barney's (best and most expensive ever grocery store) is just a ten minute walk. We made it to Stray Dog this year, also a 10 minute walk. The beach is maybe a 13 minute walk. ALL SO GOOD! Perfect for a family of all ages (we ranged from 1-80!) Thanks for the perfect getaway for our family.

Merchant Street cottage M

This was a family vacation. There were 11 attendees, ages 10 to 76. Our cottage was very clean and well appointed. Great location. We were able walk or bike to everything New Buffalo had to offer, beach, shopping, bars and restaurants. A large grocery store was a 5 minute walk. New Buffalo is a very nice little town. Highly recommend staying in a location that is walkable to beach and town.
