Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Lemonade Cottage, New Buffalo. Walk to beach!
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.

Casa Playa New House in Union Pier w/ Private Spa
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.

Cottage near Hagar Beach Pet friendly with Hot tub
Great place to stay located right in the coast and close to fun towns. Lee is an amazing host!

Cozy, Quiet Cottage with so much Character! Clean!
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❤️

Hot tub! Red Tin Cottage of Harbor Country!
We had a quick two night stay while visiting the area. The house was as listed and we had a great time. We loved the hot tub and the indoor space. Comfortable seating in the living area while we waited out the rain. There is a train that travels close by but otherwise had a great stay!

Blueberry Fields/ House and Retreat
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!

Designer Cottage Relax Beach Pool & Spa—Windjammer
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!

Perfect Get Away - Private Hot Tub - Lots of Room
This is our 5th year of vacationing in New Buffalo and have stayed at Missy's place on 3 of those visits! The house works beautifully for our family (7 adults and 4 kids under 6 yo) and you're never tripping over each other, which makes it so relaxing! We'll be back!!

Charming Cottage on the Lake
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 Koi Cottage - Union Pier- Dog Friendly!
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.

New Buffalo retreat - Perfect year-round getaway!
Wonderful home and location! Our family loved spending time here during our stay in new Buffalo. The yard was perfect for our dog. Colton and Abbey were terrific hosts.

Twin Cottage B- Walk to Beach & Town!
We had a great time in New Buffalo! Airbnb is in an excellent location, walking to Beer Church was awesome! Would totally stay again.

DKM Cottage - 15 minute walk to Lake Michigan
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!

Water's Edge Escape
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

Camp Wanderlust-Cozy lodge-20 minute walk to beach
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.

Cottage with Character
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.

Family Friendly Private Beach Home New Carlisle
Great place to stay, right on the beach, comfortable.

Bright Scandinavian-style cottage w/ private yard
Loved this cute little cottage! Very well decorated and the accommodations were great. Great location as well. Alannah and Nick were extremely accommodating and responsive. I would definitely visit again!

Comfortable, charming vintage 2 bed/1 bth cottage
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!

Cozy. Clean. Close to the beach and wineries
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.

The Cottage of Harbor Country - Close to it all!
Wow, what a gem! This place was charming, spacious, neat, with a great backyard and conveniently situated within 15 minutes of anything you could need or want. This is not your bare minimum cut and paste Airbnb—the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable and luxurious, the decor was unique, the space was toddler friendly, and the kitchen was very well stocked. A great stay for a group overall, we’ll be back!

BeachyBu Cottage
Krista’s home was so charming, spacious, and clean. We had a lovely visit and she gave amazing recommendations. It was also the perfect location.

Bright Beach-Community/Winter Wonderland Cottage
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!

Cozy cottage close to Lake Michigan
Lovely, clean home! Close to the main places we wanted to visit in Michigan. Very responsive owners.
