Stay Where Memories Are Made – 2025 Bookings Open!

⚠ Weekly rentals (Sat-Sat) required during peak summer season (mid-June thru mid-Aug).

Experience the beauty of Harbor Country from this secluded log cabin retreat, set on six private acres with over 500 feet of the Galien River wrapping around the property. Located just minutes from downtown New Buffalo, area beaches, Four Winds Casino, and local wineries, this home offers the perfect blend of nature and convenience.

Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet across three levels, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin is designed for relaxation. Cozy up by the fireplace, take in the breathtaking views from the 850-square-foot deck, or soak in the outdoor hot tub, available year-round. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or stargazing by the fire pit, this home provides a peaceful escape from everyday life.

Inside, the thoughtfully designed interior offers the comforts of home without the typical “rental feel.” Fully equipped with modern amenities, the open-concept layout is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Privacy is unmatched—no neighbors in sight, just the serenity of the surrounding woods.

For those looking to explore, New Buffalo is just a five-minute drive away, offering charming shops, renowned restaurants, wineries, and a full-service spa. Outdoor enthusiasts can rent kayaks, cycle through scenic rolling hills, or golf at nearby courses. The Whittaker Golf Club, Four Winds Casino, and Indiana’s Lighthouse Outlet Mall are all just minutes away.

Unplug, unwind, and rediscover relaxation in this one-of-a-kind Galien River retreat.

Awesome trip

My family had a wonderful time in Michigan and this rental was amazing! It is a beautiful wooded setting conveniently located near several beautiful beaches and there are many restaurants close by. We loved the big back deck that overlooked the river and we used the hot tub a lot. We set up a portable badminton set in the side yard and there were many tournaments daily! All the beds and couches were very comfortable. The house was clean and kitchen very well stocked. The rental company was easy to work with and very helpful, thank you Maria for answering all my questions! We would love to return one day!

Wonderful Family Vacation

Our family (3 generations) had a wonderful family vacation at this property. The location is very convenient! The layout of the house is perfect with lots of room to spread out. We really enjoyed the deck with lots of tables/chairs, gas grill and hot tub. The screened-in porch was perfect for evenings of games and puzzles. The house was clean and kitchen is very well stocked. The property manager is very easy to work with. Fun!

Sistah's Getaway 2023

The property is gorgeous. Very comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms for a large group of women. We appreciated having lots of throws and blankets because a storm passed through and we lost power. It would have been nice if there had been a generator because we couldn't flush the toilets or get running water whilst the power was out. Also there was a water pressure issue with the upstairs shower. We also appreciated all of the games provided. It was also great having access to YouTube because we didn't have to use a laptop to watch our Sabbath Lesson. The ladies are looking forward to an annual retreat at this property again, but during nicer weather so we can enjoy the Hot tub and fire pit.

Beautiful property and home

We gathered family for a fall getaway and had a wonderfully relaxing time at this home. This property is BEAUTIFUL in the fall (as I am sure it would be year round). We enjoyed sitting on the deck and having a fire at the outdoor firepit and soaking up the fall colors. The inside of the home is incredibly spacious and well maintained - perfect for a large group of family or friends. Dining and groceries in New Buffalo just a short, easy 5 minute drive. Would stay here again for sure.

Great place for our family vacation

Had enough room for 4 couples and 7 kids to each have their own bed. The big family room, screened porch, and outside deck each provided ample room for all to congregate. Everyone agreed the beds were extremely comfortable! Very private and scenic location in the woods. The location was also perfect to quickly get to places that we like to visit in New Buffalo, Three Oaks, Union Pier, and Sawyer. We've been going to this area every year for 7 years now and have never stayed in the same place twice. This is one we would definitely stay again!
