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.

Minimum Age Limit for Renters: The guest signing the rental agreement/contract must be 30 years of age or older (ID at check-in required) and must be responsible for the group during the entire time of the stay.

Maximum occupancy restrictions: The number of guests at any WAYA-managed property can not exceed the maximum occupancy number (or sleeps number). This includes invited guests, friends, or additional family members. Events, parties, or family gatherings are not permitted without express written permission prior to booking.

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

Tall grass cottage
We stayed at tallgrass cottage last year. And well the accommodation suit us very well, very clean well-appointed, there are still no dressers to put clothes in. I had mentioned it in my review last year so basically you're living at a suitcase for a week. That's really my only issue because it is very well located to beaches shops and other attractions.

Great Beachy getaway
Clean, comfortable, plenty of space inside/out. Nice deck & screened in porch. Excellent assortment of spices for cooking & chairs/umbrella for beach. Beds were not comfortable so that would prevent us from re-booking. Otherwise, geat experience.

Great Family Vacation
Would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice house, slightly secluded/quiet neighborhood but still just a short 4 minute drive to the beach and downtown (It is walkable to DT, however half a mile of the walk doesn’t have sidewalk so might be dangerous at night) The property worked great for my family with 2 kids under 3. The property overall was clean however it is probably due for a deeper clean, fixtures and fans had a lot of dust and found some old garbage (wrappers, retainer case) nothing terrible just felt it could get a bit of a overall clean beyond visible areas. However I would not let this be a negative, overall the pictures don’t do this place justice, outside deck was fantastic to hang in the late afternoon, with a fire pit for the evenings, and the screened in porch was a great place for cards and board games at night. I’d for sure stay here again.

Fall in New Buffalo
Our daughter and her son and husband live in chicago and frequent New Buffalo a lot and love it. It was my first visit there and it did not disappoint. The home is beautiful and so modern and clean. Just a great vibe and the porch and outdoor living space made it perfect. We loved our visit and plan on coming back to this property with friends!!!

Chicago get away
This property exceeded our expectations! The photos were lovely but the home was more spacious than it appeared in photos. The outdoor spaces ,including the screened in porch, were terrific for our group of 6. We took advantage of it all, grilling on the porch and making s'mores around the fire pit. The home was in a lovely area. We would return!

Family Get-Away
Overall we found the home lovely and made for a relaxing stay. The house was close enough but far enough from downtown which allowed us to be in a quiet neighborhood but easily able to get to the "action" rather quickly. Two caveats: The bathtub in the master bathroom drained very slowly. The left hand side door of the refrigerator did not always close correctly. At times needed to reclose for it to shut.

Great location, relaxing environment
The rental process was simple and easy. The location and property were very nice. We especially enjoyed the fireplace. There was no cable or internet as indicated by the listing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time but it would have been nice to have internet access. (We did connect to the wifi but internet did not work) Overall, I would definitely recommend this location.

Girls Wine Weekend
Tallgrass Manor was a perfect, cozy home for our girls weekend! Great home to stay in and cook your meals, multiple indoor/outdoor living spaces, and great location to head into town and enjoy the lake. Nice and close to Baroda to hit our favorite wineries and even a quick trip to Four Winds for the live band. The beds were a little soft and bouncy but overall, an amazing home! We'll be back to stay again no doubt!

Loved this house! It was perfect for us ladies from the Jackson area. TV and WiFi didn’t work for us. The mgr tried to work with us but we were too busy shopping, drinking, gambling and playing cards to watch TV anyway. A few more towels might be nice. And the master bedroom shower did not drain well. Also, we saw the heaters but a fan would be nice. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Lovely!!
