Cottage holiday rentals in Michigan City

We loved our stay! The cottage was so cute and very clean. It is in a residential area, but still feels very private. The neighborhood was quiet. The outside/backyard area is amazing. We could walk everywhere (restaurants, shops, beach, market, etc…). We did not get into our car once from when we parked it until we left. Nancy was so nice to work with. She called us on our way there to let us know the hot tub motor was not working. That was not a big deal us, but she was proactive in telling us and she had it fixed by the next day. We would 100% recommend staying here and might book it again ourselves.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and flexible, making everything so easy and welcoming from start to finish. This home holds a lot of sentimental value for our family — we spent many years vacationing in this area growing up — and it meant so much to be able to return to the area and create new memories in such a beautiful, well-kept space. We couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, meaningful getaway.

We had a great time staying at Amy's place! It is the perfect size for a couple. It feels very cozy and like you are actually staying at someone's home vs. the sterile Airbnbs that are owned by corporate entities these days. The property is as described. It is very private, yet close to everything! I would recommend staying here if you're in the area.

Great place to stay located right in the coast and close to fun towns. Lee is an amazing host!

As soon as we started packing we already miss it we loved it the hot was nice I love how at night time the sitting area light up up the inside was lovely I love how it’s small but it have a lot of space the was our first time getting an Airbnb and we loved it 10/10 would definitely come here again food spot little far out but we didn’t mind it the drive is nice and peaceful I love how we get to cows and horses on the way only 2 things I’ll say about the Airbnb I wouldn’t complain about or make it a big deal you will see ants ofc and the bed was uncomfortable but we really didn’t mind it we had to much fun to even worry about other than that we loved it❤️

Kate’s home was wonderful! We had a lovely time with our boys and the hot tub was just what our backs needed after chasing them around the dunes all day. Kate had great recommendations of local spots and was quick to respond to any questions. It was an absolutely wonderful stay and we hope to return soon!

Very peaceful to stay put here--bring what you need and stay in these beautiful surroundings among birds and gardens and an art-filled home. Or spend time on nearby beaches and trails, wander the nearby small-town shops and nice variety of restaurants and look forward to a hot tub soak and campfire. Donna's home is welcoming and inspiring!

Lovely home, many well thought out perks like fans in upstairs rooms and beach toys for kids! Info said it was an easy short walk to beach so I spent a whole lot more than I usually would. With children it would not be pleasant and is really not a short walk (and is on a semi busy road) & beach is down a whole lot of steps. BUT there are parking spaces so it was fine. Within the house, the steps are fairly steep at parts & there are 2?big ones going into house &!these were hard for my 70 year old mom w knee issues. So if person reading reviews is one of those people, this might not be THE place. That being said, it is very short walk to community pool & host is very responsive & house is beautiful! My mom mostly stayed within first floor including an awesome bed/bath on ground floor. There are games (although I didn’t love the Ouija board 🫣😂) . This would be a great place for multiple family / friends to split cost ;) Its very beautiful & community pool & hot tub are great!

The cottage was beautiful, and though there was a little bit of miscommunication, Tim and Kate went above and beyond to come up with a solution for us! We would definitely consider staying again when it's warmer out!

The Place was clean and quiet. Beautiful trees surround the area. I am familiar with the New Buffalo and Union pier area. It was right in the middle of all the Restaurants. Sunroom was a great hang out. Yard was a large and private space to hang out and get a fire going. Of course, the koi fish was an extra bit of enjoyment, watching them. Would highly recommend this rental.

My family loved this place! We were able to bring our dog and felt comfortable doing so as the backyard is completely enclosed. The hosts were so helpful and responsive when we needed things — would totally recommend!

Another fantastic stay at this place! And they upgraded the mattresses so we had such a comfortable sleep both nights! This is the best airbnb in new Buffalo! We love it!!!

What a beautiful location! Loved all the trees, beautiful yard to play games, super big fire pit, deck and grill was spotless! The inside was nice and spacious for the size. Great kitchen and bathrooms. The basement was large! We had an incredible time. Would come back for a longer vacation!

Review..... Host Annette was very accommodating and fast response. The home is a very quaint cottage with every amenity we needed. There are many water toys (peddle boat, kayak, paddle board) and life jackets. My grandchildren enjoyed fishing and swimming. But, the best part is the amazing view. Even saw a deer in the lake! This place is on the top of my list when I come back. Jill St Petersburg, FL

Great location in Union Pier and walkable to the lake and small downtown. Great house to spend a week or long weekend, Keith was super helpful and responsive.

Great neighborhood, quiet and cozy! Easy to find and close enough to everything we wanted to do. The backyard was beautiful and we loved being able to relax with the dog. Cute house and friendly hosts.

We loved our winter stay here with our dog. Fran thought of everything from extra blankets to dog waste bags! We wanted for nothing & loved the short walk to the main strip of town. Beds were comfortable, everything was exceptionally clean, the fenced yard was great for the dog, and communication with host was very responsive. We highly recommend this charming cottage for any time of the year. We will definitely stay here again!

Our little family had a wonderful time at Valerye's place. It was very cozy and peaceful. The cottage was stocked with a ton of amenities and necessities. The location was perfect to visit all the places we wanted to go. Hagar Park is just a quick drive down the road, it is beautiful even this time of year. Would love to come back during the summer.

Louise's house is magical. I've never felt more at home in an Airbnb. The minute you open the door, you are surrounded by the beautiful colors in her gorgeous fabrics and rugs. Louise has thought of everything-from lots of towels (high humidity area and longer drying time), an incredibly well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and lots of different seating areas and options. The screened in porch is beyond relaxing. Early mornings on the porch, listening to the birds, was my favorite way to start the day. The neighborhood beaches (15 minute walk) were private, quiet, and beautiful. Sunset at Stop 39 is the best. The beach town of New Buffalo is only a 10 minute drive, with fun rooftop restaurants and a larger beach. A farm for blueberry picking is also close by. We hope to return to Louise's again!

loved our stay at this cottage! very private and peaceful. the inside is a bit outdated but that’s to be expected with a lot of michigan homes along the coast, we’ve discovered. the ac unit was not working when we arrived, the host was very responsive and got an alternate ac unit to install the next day (wasn’t needed, the ac unit did end up kicking on after a very short power outage during a storm) cozy inside, had everything we needed. bed in the room with the window unit was nice and comfortable. loved laying on the bed in the sunroom and reading while it was raining outside ❤️ very peaceful and the location was great. not a whole lot nearby (dollar general, pizza place & a little eatery with ice cream) but it’s very close to some of the bigger beaches (south haven/st joseph’s) we loved it!

We choose Trevah’s place for our family weekend getaway. It was fun. My granddaughter enjoyed the spacious home. She answered our questions in a timely manner and was helpful getting us connected with the Marina to rent a pontoon for the day. Our family had a blast. The one thing that we all had to get used to was the lack of window shades, specially for the sunrise. Don’t get us wrong. We loved all the windows. But it was something to get used to. Definitely would will consider coming back. Thank you Trevah for sharing your home with us. Otherwise lovely home.

Lila’s space is very comforting on the water and a comfortable space. Well done

Jan’s place is fantastic! The place is immaculate and cozy. We especially loved all of the little details she thought of. Walking distance to restaurants and shops and a few miles to the beach. Private back patio was very nice. Jan checked on us through the trip and was very easy to work with. I definitely recommend you check out this spot.

we felt at home immediately, with such a well stocked kitchen, bathroom, and laundry we can bring less from home next time. The location was ideal, with the beach only a few minutes walk from the house. we loved eating on the porch and the living room was a perfect size for our family to watch movies and relax. We were pleasantly surprised by all the beach gear that were made available such as chairs, towels, kids toys, etc. Location is also great for exploring Michigan City and other beaches. Many thanks for a lovely stay and we hope to be at Emmets in 2026!
