Renovated Cottage- Hot Tub, Close To Private Association Beach & EV Charger

Basswood Bungalow is an escape to a charming cottage just a short walk away (.3 miles) from a private association beach. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage has been beautifully renovated with modern amenities, including an EV charger, while still retaining its vintage charm. The spacious living area features comfortable seating and a fireplace, perfect for chilling out after a long day at the beach or exploring Harbor Country.

The day bed in the 3-season sunroom provides extra sleeping space (twin or king) or a cozy spot to curl up and read. Wake up to the soothing sounds of the birds chirping and step outside to your own outdoor space, perfect for sipping your morning coffee surrounded by nature.

At the end of your day, gather with your friends and family around the fire pit to recap your day, share stories or reminisce. Want a little friendly competition? The cottage has a large backyard and is equipped with a variety of games such as bags, bocce ball, croquet, horseshoes, and, Spikeball.

Located just minutes from the beach, and a short car ride to downtown New Buffalo, this cottage is the perfect getaway for those looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating escape.

Perfect for family of 4

Had a wonderful long weekend with our family of 4 here. Property was spotless, hot tub was very clean, kids loved their bedroom, kitchen was well stocked and the beach was a very short walk.

Fabulous little cottage that is well maintained with a nice modern/outdoor decor. Communication with the property manager made us feel welcomed and right at home. Great location with a 5 minute or less walk to the private beach area. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Lovely paradise hideaway

We stayed for a few nights at this decorated gem, and enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, quiet neighborhood association and short walk to the beach. The cottage is very well stocked, and there was nothing we wanted for. I would book here again, as the area is serene and off the beaten path.

Fun Getaway

We had a great time at this cottage. It is quaint, but just enough space for our family of 5 to stay comfortably. About a 5min walk to the private beach, and short drives to plenty of public beaches. Host was very attentive and included thoughtful details and amenities throughout the property.

Girl weekend

I took my mother, daughter, and one of her friends for a two night stay. This was absolutely perfect! Charming, cute, clean, every amenity you could want and the location (about a 3 block walk and typical Lake Michigan staircase) to the beach cannot be beat, easy little drive to New Buffalo or Union Pier. I don’t want to say too much because I want to keep this gem for myself!
