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"!

Great family stay!
This property was beautiful and worked out perfectly for our family trip. We had 10 people, including two children and an infant and we all fit comfortably. The decor was very modern/pretty and the bathrooms were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the host was excellent about communicating with me. We also enjoyed the pool (heated and clean, beach towels were provided) everyday we were there. Walking distance to Beer Church, there's a Rainbow Cone within walking distance as well. Quick drive to Three Oaks if you're interested in Journeyman. You can also walk to the beach, but we chose to drive there upon checking out. We recommend this property!

Perfect for our family
This Merchant St. Cottage house worked out well for our three generations family. Grandparents are early risers and slept on the main floor. The preteenagers slept upstairs and enjoyed the loft area. And the parents got caught up on some much needed sleep in the cool and dark basement bedroom. While we didn’t use it there were beach chairs, a cart, and other paraphernalia available. The kitchen was well equipped although we didn’t cook much. The location is perfect with a neighborhood swimming pool for the kiddos. Dining and shopping is just a few blocks away and the beach is about a half mile walk. We had a great time. Thank you!

LOCATION & AMMENITIES!! Fully Equipped Vacation Rental!
Our family with four generations had an amazing time at this property. We have rented several places over the years and this is probably our favorite for a largish family. The property is fully equipped and they have thought of everything. They have beach towels, beach toys, bikes and rafts for outside fun and plenty of dishes, pans, spices and nice knives for fun in the kitchen. The pool is practically next door and the hot tub is ready to go. Town and the beach are extremely walkable--even for the elderly folks in our group. The house itself is broken into nice spaces for a large group. We all loved the back porch and the front porch and we had fun with the pool table. The few issues we had were responded to quickly--within minutes--and resolved. We are already checking our calendar for next year. THANK YOU!

We love staying at merchant street cottages due to proximity to restaurants and the beach.

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.

Great family spot
Wonderful place for a Lake Michigan vacation! The house was well-appointed and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of room for all four generations of our family to either gather together or find quiet spots to branch off. We enjoyed the hot tub and the nearby pool and were able to walk to the beach, the store, restaurants, cute local library, and playgrounds. We also went to the zoo, a boat tour, kayaking, and splashpad - so much to do close by. Mary was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Such a great weekend trip in New Buffalo!
This house was excellent. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. We made the easy trek over from Chicago, and the location of this house was ideal. Walkable to town for coffee, restaurants, etc. and the house itself was perfect for three couples. Highly, highly recommend. Also, shoutout to Mary, the property manager who was responsive with the handful of questions we had throughout the weekend.

Perfect Family Getaway
Our stay at the M Cottage was so lovely. We opted for a post-Christmas getaway and the M Cottage was the perfect location. We had amble space to eat, relax and even a few worked at the desk. The rooms and closets were large - just like the photos. Beds were super comfortable and towels were soft. I especially appreciated all of the baby/toddler gear provided. We were traveling with my 2 yo and didn't have to bring a thing outside of a pack & play sheet. They even had children's dishes and silverware. Much appreciated! The location to town can't be beat. It is within walking distance to the entire downtown. New Buffalo had so much to offer, even in the middle of winter. We went sledding twice, enjoyed a few breweries and even walked the beach. Communication with the host was easy and everything from check-in to check-out was a breeze. We already are looking to come back in the summer to enjoy the community pool. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect house for a quick trip
We enjoyed our trip to this home quite a bit. The layout worked well for our family, with grandparents being able to stay in the master on the first floor and kids upstairs in those very cute rooms. We weren't able to use the basement bedroom, or the living space at all down there, due to wet carpet and concern about mold. The kitchen is larger than it appears in the pictures and had everything we needed. The town of New Buffalo is always an enjoyable time!
