A firepit, a playground and laundry facilities are just a few of the amenities provided at Secluded Log Cabin Estate | 6 Private Acres | High-Altitude River Views. For some rest and relaxation, visit the hot tub. Guests can connect to free in-room WiFi.
Perched high atop a rugged ridge, this one-of-a-kind log cabin sanctuary offers the most dramatic views in Harbor Country. Featured in premier vacation rental magazines, this estate sits on six private, heavily wooded acres with over 500 feet of the Galien River winding through the valley below.
THE "EAGLE’S NEST" PERSPECTIVE This is the ultimate retreat for those who value privacy and a grand sense of scale.
- The 850-Sq-Ft Deck: Your private observation post. Because the cabin sits high above the river valley, the views are panoramic and unobstructed. It’s the perfect spot for bird watching, stargazing, or simply listening to the wind through the hardwoods.
- The River Experience: While the cabin’s rugged terrain offers stunning views rather than direct water access, the adventure is just minutes away. A short 5-minute drive takes you to local outfitters for kayak and paddleboard rentals, where you can spend the afternoon paddling the very same river that wraps around your retreat.
- Total Seclusion: With six acres of forest, you are immersed in a true "Deep Woods" experience—all while being just five minutes from the conveniences of New Buffalo.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & COMFORT Spanning 3,000 square feet across three levels, this home avoids the "typical rental feel" with high-end finishes and soulful, lodge-style design.
- Space for Everyone: 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths comfortably accommodate large families or groups (Sleeps 10 adults + 4 kids).
- The Great Room: Vaulted ceilings and a signature fireplace create an authentic, cozy atmosphere for late-spring evenings.
- Dog-Friendly: Your four-legged family members will love exploring the estate (pre-approval and fee apply).
THE LOCATION: MINUTES TO THE LAKE While you’ll feel miles deep in the wilderness, you are only a five-minute drive from:
- The Shoreline: New Buffalo’s soft sand beaches and Lake Michigan sunsets.
- Entertainment: Four Winds Casino, Whittaker Golf Club, and world-class wineries.
- Shopping: Boutique downtown shops across Harbor Country.
PLANNING YOUR STAY
- Flexible Summer Stays: We feature a 5-night minimum during the peak summer season (June 19th – Aug 23rd), offering more flexibility than traditional weekly-only rentals.
- Privacy & Security: For your peace of mind, a security camera monitors the driveway and garage area only. This can be deactivated upon request once you have arrived.
- The Essentials: We provide a high-quality "Starter Kit" (TP, paper towels, trash bags, and hand soap). For larger groups or extended stays, please plan for additional supplies.
- Home Standards: The primary guest must be 30+ years of age. While we are dog-friendly (2 dog max), the home remains strictly smoke-free. No large parties or events are permitted.

Secluded property gives privacy but nearby things to do. Bedrooms sizes for our adult children and young grandchildren to share. Good common space inside and out. Good size yard for outdoor activities.
Awesome property located Oh in the wood. Property is secluded and grate for a peaceful getaway with family and friends. Beds are super comfy. Plenty of space for everyone.
This was a great all around property. It was very clean, very large and well laid out for families with multiple ages. Both decks were amazing and we had everything we needed. Also, the yards were well kept and very large to play games in. The beds were great and kitchen was well stocked
House was very well equipped with everything we needed for our week in New Buffalo. Property was well maintained and very clean. Easy drive into town and close proximity to beaches and other outdoor activities. We will be back!
Spacious common areas, including living room, covered and uncovered decks, and outdoor grassy areas. Secluded. Close to a road but little noise. Beautiful, big trees provide ample shade. Quality and comfortable furnishings inside and out including deck chairs, tables, couches, and beds. 20 minutes to Warren Dunes State Park and closer to other beaches. 45 minutes to South Bend and Notre Dame. Host communicated timely and answered all our questions. Well-stocked kitchen. Too warm for us to use the hot tub and fire pit, but both would be great in other seasons. Overall a wonderful stay and good value!
My family had a wonderful time in Michigan and this rental was amazing! It is a beautiful wooded setting conveniently located near several beautiful beaches and there are many restaurants close by. We loved the big back deck that overlooked the river and we used the hot tub a lot. We set up a portable badminton set in the side yard and there were many tournaments daily! All the beds and couches were very comfortable. The house was clean and kitchen very well stocked. The rental company was easy to work with and very helpful, thank you Maria for answering all my questions! We would love to return one day!
House was beautiful. The scenery was incredible. Hot tub was clean and lovely. Well stocked and clean and host is great. Would come back and rent again and again through the different seasons
We absolutely loved this place. Great location five minutes from beach, beautiful setting, quality home, plenty to do, large yard, can’t say enough good things.
Amazing home with every amenity you can think of. Spacious thru and thru, with more than enough room for our party of 12! Close to Four Winds and New Buff beach. Wonderful host! Thank you!
Great place to stay.Clean and tidy apartment.Amazing beach club 2 minute walk away.Shops and restaurants a few minutes walk.Beautiful quiet gardens to relax in.Would definitely stay here again. Janice the maid came in twice a week.Wendy is a wonderful host.
We rented the house for a weekend getaway with friends and our kids and it was perfect! Tons of space to hang out and play, the deck was awesome, the living room was beautiful and you could ask for better scenery!
We loved the home everything you could need was available and being on the beach was just perfect. Only thing that would have been better was the beds the mattresses were very uncomfortable. Either new mattress or maybe some very plush toppers would help
Our Cousins’ GetawayMy family and I planned a cousins-only getaway, and it was ah-mazing! We laughed until we cried, shared stories, and made memories that will last a lifetime. It was such a special time, just for us cousins.The house was beautiful—cozy and perfect for our little reunion. The water didn’t get quite as hot as I like, and the basement air was freezing, but honestly, none of that could take away from how much fun we had.Grateful for moments like these. #FamilyTime #CousinsTrip #Grateful
The house surpassed all of our needs. There was plenty of room for our group and enjoyed the proximity to the beaches, casino, and restaurants. We would definitely return.
We had a really great time. not too far from beaches or state parks and lots to do on property. Secluded, so quiet and restful.
Good customer service on a phone call to the property manager. Will definitely consider going back.
