About this property

TALLGRASS COTTAGE: Private Setting - Close to Town and Beach

(5 NIGHT MIN. STAYS IN THE SUMMER)

Tucked away in the wooded Walden cottage enclave sits Tallgrass Cottage, a healing sanctuary for you and your family for a week or weekend. Surrounded by nature, but within walking distance of the quaint downtown of New Buffalo, and less than a mile from the New Buffalo beach, Tallgrass is a short 70 miles from Chicago. Once here, you'll immediately notice how the sweet, fragrant air will begin to relax you. Stepping inside Tallgrass, you'll be struck by the openness and abundance of natural Michigan light streaming in from all sides, including the multiple skylights. You won't come for the granite countertops, stainless sinks and appliances, nuanced lighting or vaulted ceilings in the great room, but each will make your stay more comfortable and distraction-free as you use our home as a base for your daily excursions around southwest Michigan.

Wine tastings at the multiple nearby wineries, seasonal festivals, world-class antiquing, kayaking, fishing, golf on challenging and pristine courses, and cycling are just some of the activities you and your family or friends can enjoy during your visit. At night, kick back on the open deck, or read that novel you've been meaning to get to on the screened-in porch. Plan a dinner at one of the nearby, one-of-a-kind restaurants, or grill out under the brightest stars you never get to see in the city. With three bedrooms, three full baths, and an activity loft for you and the kids, Tallgrass accommodates four to six people comfortably. Don't wait. Reserve your vacation time with us today. If you do, we promise you'll want to come back to see us again and again.

We kindly request that guests refrain from hosting large parties or family gatherings out of respect for the neighboring homeowners, many of whom reside here year-round. By fostering a sense of harmony and consideration, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a peaceful and rejuvenating stay.

Bring food, drinks, personal items, and the good times.

This property is well-maintained and equipped for the comfort and convenience of our guests. Our vacation rentals include well-equipped kitchens, living, and dining areas. Linens and towels are provided. Homes have washers and dryers, dishwashers, central heat, and air conditioning, cable/satellite television, DVD players, high-speed Internet service, and outdoor gas or charcoal grills.

We ask that renters bring condiments, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, extra toilet paper, and convenience items like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and zip-lock bags. We do not supply firewood for homes that have wood-fueled amenities like a fire pit or a wood-burning fireplace. We do not resupply anything during the stay. We provide two rolls of toilet paper for each bathroom, 2 rolls of paper towels, 4 garbage bags, and hand soap in each bathroom -- so plan according to your needs.

Great family getaway
This house was exactly what we'd hope it would be! Extremely clean and well maintained. It was perfect for a family weekend away. The screened in porch is so awesome and we spent lots of time out there. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms - would love to stay here again!

Wonderful Time - Beachdays!
There was 6 of us. My husband and myself, my two adults sons in their 20's and their girlfriends. We had such a wonderful time. We just love New Buffalo, the beach the town. We are definitely planning on booking for a full week next summer. Beautiful house. ** One thing I did want to mention the bath/shower in the master bedroom was not draining well. Thank you for everything!! Diane Petras
