Happy Thoughts Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
With incredible wall-to-wall windows that let the natural light pour in, this quaint cottage tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of New Buffalo will place you mere blocks from the heart of downtown. Step inside to find a beautifully maintained, air-conditioned space with whimsical decor, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen and dining area that give the home a decidedly spacious feel. Enjoy a kitchen with every essential and a peninsula breakfast bar, a dining space with a beautiful wood table, and a living room with a large, comfortable sectional sofa, a gas-powered fireplace, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV.
Soak up the summer sunshine outside on the front deck, where cafe tables and chairs overlook the large, fenced-in yard with a lush lawn, mature trees, and an in-ground firepit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs. There's also a rear patio with a grill for outdoor cooking, a table with seating for four, and an outdoor shower to welcome you home from New Buffalo Beach (three-quarters of a mile north) each afternoon. At night, two comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen-size bed and one with a pair of twin beds - and a full bathroom are adjacent to the kitchen.
And for those who love a nice stroll, downtown New Buffalo is only a two blocks away, offering great shopping and wonderful eateries.

Everything was great! We'd stay here again for sure! Perfect location as we walked all over New Buffalo. Only recommendation is for the property owner to provide SmartTV's so guests can stream their own accounts. We weren't there to watch TV, but at night it's nice to watch sports, news, movies, etc.

Great location - walking distance to everything!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
Overall the stay was pretty good, however the home was not cleaned upon our arrival. We spent the first few hours on the phone trying to figure that mess out. Not a great way to start your vacation - trying to figure out if you’ll have clean bedding to sleep in. Other than that, the place was pretty good. The location is really great. it’s a bit of a hike to the beach, but really close to the shops and restaurants. If you have little ones like us, I would not expect to walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart from a local place and it made the trip awesome. The home was in good shape outside of the cleaning fiasco. They provide basic kitchen utensils, the living area was enjoyable, bathroom and kitchens are fairly well finished and felt overall clean (after the cleaners left). The living room area has lots of nice daylight and was enjoyable. The streaming device was a bit clunky, super slow and really only had Netflix. If you plan to stream any tv I recommend bringing your own setup. WiFi was fast enough to stream otherwise. We enjoyed the outside area during the evening. Overall the cottage was really enjoyable, but the lack of cleaning upon arrival was a bit of a fiasco. Caused a lot of unnecessary stress. I like the house itself a lot, but I’d really need to think hard about renting again due to the cleaning issue.
