Stay Where Memories Are Made – 2025 Bookings Open!

⚠ Weekly rentals (Sat-Sat) required during peak summer season (mid-June thru mid-Aug).

Experience the beauty of Harbor Country from this secluded log cabin retreat, set on six private acres with over 500 feet of the Galien River wrapping around the property. Located just minutes from downtown New Buffalo, area beaches, Four Winds Casino, and local wineries, this home offers the perfect blend of nature and convenience.

Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet across three levels, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin is designed for relaxation. Cozy up by the fireplace, take in the breathtaking views from the 850-square-foot deck, or soak in the outdoor hot tub, available year-round. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or stargazing by the fire pit, this home provides a peaceful escape from everyday life.

Inside, the thoughtfully designed interior offers the comforts of home without the typical “rental feel.” Fully equipped with modern amenities, the open-concept layout is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Privacy is unmatched—no neighbors in sight, just the serenity of the surrounding woods.

For those looking to explore, New Buffalo is just a five-minute drive away, offering charming shops, renowned restaurants, wineries, and a full-service spa. Outdoor enthusiasts can rent kayaks, cycle through scenic rolling hills, or golf at nearby courses. The Whittaker Golf Club, Four Winds Casino, and Indiana’s Lighthouse Outlet Mall are all just minutes away.

Unplug, unwind, and rediscover relaxation in this one-of-a-kind Galien River retreat.

Great Michigan Retreat
Had an amazing time at the Waya Den. Property is secluded yet easy to find. The house had all the amenities we needed and more than enough room for all of our guests. Everyone had a blast and we are already talking about holding our next celebration at the same place. Please do not hesitate considering this property for your next getaway, you won't regret it.

Lovely house
We had a great time at this property. So close to beaches — our recommendation would be to head to Townline Beach in Union Pier. The house itself is big, plenty of room. Love the screened in porch at night and the large yard for the kids to play. 5 mins from downtown New Buffalo, or up and coming downtown Three Oaks.

Long weekend with family
This was perfect for what we wanted. It's a cabin in the woods but it literally 10 minutes or less from New Buffalo, Union Pier and Three Oaks. Plenty of room to spread out inside and out with everything we needed. The Property Manager was very helpful. We'll be back!

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our family (3 generations) had a wonderful family vacation at this property. The location is very convenient! The layout of the house is perfect with lots of room to spread out. We really enjoyed the deck with lots of tables/chairs, gas grill and hot tub. The screened-in porch was perfect for evenings of games and puzzles. The house was clean and kitchen is very well stocked. The property manager is very easy to work with. Fun!

Beautiful property and home
We gathered family for a fall getaway and had a wonderfully relaxing time at this home. This property is BEAUTIFUL in the fall (as I am sure it would be year round). We enjoyed sitting on the deck and having a fire at the outdoor firepit and soaking up the fall colors. The inside of the home is incredibly spacious and well maintained - perfect for a large group of family or friends. Dining and groceries in New Buffalo just a short, easy 5 minute drive. Would stay here again for sure.

This is a fabulous property. Its in a secluded wooded area that is just beautiful. Lot's of space for group gathering. Even in rainy weather we were able to be outdoors in the screened in areas. We had planned to spend more time in town, but the property was so wonderful we pretty much just hung out at this amazing house. Highly recommend!
