  • Summary:

    Livywood Cottage



    The Space:

    Situated on a double lot surrounded by trees, this cozy New Buffalo house offers a shaded oasis perfect for family getaways or groups of friends, no matter the time of year. In the summer, guests can take a leisurely stroll or ride in the provided golf cart and wagon (children may not drive it, nor can it be taken to the golf course- Available Memorial Day - Labor Day) to the private beach for a day of sun and sand. For those who want to venture further, numerous scenic parks, golf courses, museums, tourist attractions, and local restaurants are all only a short drive away. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming open-concept living space and an abundance of natural light. Lounge blissfully as you watch your favorite shows or head over to the well-equipped kitchen to make anything from a cup of coffee to hearty meals. During the warmer months, sear your meals to perfection on the gas grill as the kids frolic in the yard. Indulge together inside or eat on the screened-in porch to feel the warm breeze as you dine. As the evening’s activities wind down, retreat to any of the comfortable beds for a good night’s rest. Thoughtful touches like closet organizers, books to peruse, and a guitar for the musically inclined in the primary bedroom truly make this a home away from home.

Great place to be on Lake Michigan

The hosts had EVERYTHING we needed! Trusting us with the golf cart put our approval over the top. Made going to beach so much fun. I would love to come back and stay again!

Beautiful home built for relaxation!

The home was perfect for us! High-end appliances throughout, clean and loaded with items for your trip to the beach! The screened in porch was a highlight! The beds were comfortable, space was not an issue and did I mention the 5-minute walk to the beach?? We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay!

We loved our stay here! The house is AMAZING! So clean and nice. Amazing kitchen and cooking supplies. Loved the screened in porch. Located 10 minutes from New Buffalo- we loved the public beach there. There is a beach called “Sunset beach” that’s about a 10 minute walk (you can’t park your golf cart there) or a 5 minute golf cart ride called Grand Beach (golf cart parking only) both beaches are private but very rocky and full of sticks etc… would still highly recommend this stay!

This was our second stay here and we just love it!! Quiet, peaceful and a quick walk to the beach!! 8 mins to downtown New Buffalo, 10 mins to Michigan City. The beds are comfy, the home is light and airy and the kitchen has everything you could need! The screened in porch is my fave spot by far!! We will be staying again!

Hidden Gem!

From check in to check out, every detail was taken care of. The property looks much better in person than even in the pictures. Everything was clean and new and up-to-date. Many thoughtful details were included, like the beach towels and the chairs and cooler for the beach. We actually didn’t use the golf cart, but it was great having it there. I highly recommend this. We had a wonderful time!

Cozy, rustic chic, mountain top family cabin in the middle of the forrest. We loved our stay and felt very much at home. It's an old restored cabin with lots pf windows, and a lot of modern updates. We spent a lot of time in the Sun room with all of the windows open enjoying the mountain breeze, tree lined mountain view and birds chirping. We sipped tea outside and soaked up the sun every morning on the two rocking chairs. The beds are comfortable, my hubby and I slept comfortably on the queen master bed. The room is small (for big men). There are three levels with 3 beautifully updated bathrooms, and our family of 5 and dog were very comfortable with plenty of seating a cozy areas for everyone to do their own thing. The cabin is well stocked with very cute kitchen accessories for tea and coffee. A 4WD or AWD drive is an absolute must!!! My sister in law and husband came to visit in their sequoia and got stuck coming down the driveway and had to have a local tow truck company come and pull them out of the turn. The tow truck guy was familiar with the cabin. If you have a 4WD or AWD you will have no problems at all. Just be prepared for gravel windy steep roads with no GPS service, so use your instructions that the host provides. That being said, it is well worth it! The walls are thin, so we could hear each other from all around the cabin in separate rooms. No dressers provided, so use cubes or hang everything. Loved it and would return. Thank you Mountain Mama!
