Welcome to Shady Tree Cottage, the perfect retreat for your next getaway!

We're located ~2hrs from Chicago, close to the best attractions in Southwest Michigan, only minutes away from downtown New Buffalo. Convenient for day trips to St. Joseph and South Haven.

Enjoy a day out exploring southwest Michigan, have a lazy day at home in the game room playing over 400 classic arcade games, curl up with a good book on the oversized sectional or in the homey side chair. Let the kids play in the cozy reading nook stocked with comfy pillows, a variety of popular children's books, and a busy board. Unwind at night with dinner al fresco and a marshmallow roast over the fire, toasting with a glass of local wine from your travels.

We are also pet-friendly and have pet bowls, a waterproof blanket, poop bags, and a stake for your dog's leash. We do ask that you crate your dog when not in the home for the dog's safety.

Additional amenities include a sit/stand work desk, smart TV, high speed internet, gas grill, game room, memory foam sofa bed, dimmable lights in the bedrooms and bathrooms, black out curtains in bedrooms and main living space, noise machines, Lake Michigan tap water, and a flex bedroom, which can be set up as two twins or one king bed depending on the needs of your group.
