Repeat visit - great as always!
This was our third time staying at this property, and it was great as always! It’s the perfect spot for families with kids - close to everything, and the basement (arcade games, pool table, foosball) sets this house apart from the other Merchant St Cottages we’ve stayed at. The host is very responsive and helpful. We’ll be back!

A perfect family weekend
Our family enjoyed our time here SO much. There was something to entertain all of the kids in the arcade area when the weather outside was not the best. When the weather improved, we were walking distance to everything. The house was perfect. It was everything I could’ve hoped for. Thank you!

Such A Gem!
This house is beautiful! The layout and location are so ideal. A short walk to the beach, and a block or two from downtown and the grocery store. We never needed to use our car. Our family had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to be back next summer!

Excellent stay
We had a wonderful stay in New Buffalo! The house was welcoming and fully loaded with anything we may have needed or forgotten. The pool is a few steps away and the downtown shops, dining, and beach are an easy walk from the property also. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the covered front porch with our morning coffee.

Family Vacation In New Buffalo
Thank you once again to Mike. We have enjoyed this home for several years and feel so comfortable there. The house is stocked with all the amenities you will need for a wonderful family vacation with children or just a weekend with adults to play games and have fun. The pool is perfect for taking a swim or exercise and area is kept very clean. The Merchant Cottages are truly a very nice village, and with the town, the beach and all the restaurants near by everything is in walking distance. We are so happy to have our vacation here. Thank you!

Perfect Location
We had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful and updated inside. There was plenty of room with the three different levels. The location was just perfect with a short walk to the town and beach. There was also a great fire pit if you just want to relax at the home. Loved, loved, loved it!

Repeat visitors!
We have stayed at several homes in New Buffalo, including a few of the Merchant Street Cottages. This one is our favorite, and we’ll be back! This year the arcade games in the basement were a welcome new addition - they kept four kids (age 3-6) entertained during some rainy days. We always vacation with another family (8 people total), and this house is absolutely perfect for a group that size. Mike is very responsive and professional - no issues! We’ll be back!
