Ein gelungener Urlaub
Danke Liebe Rebeccas Eine bessere Vermieterin kann man sich nicht wünschen. Dank der hervorragenden Kommunikation im Vorfeld unserer Reise mit ihr war der Urlaub ein voller Erfolg. Ohne ihr gute zusammen Arbeit und Recherchen im Vorfeld unserer Reise, hätten wir nie das in und um New Buffalo erleben können was wir erlebt haben. Das Haus ist Sauber und für alle Bedürfnisse gut eingerichtet. Es gibt nichts was in einem modernen Haushalt fehlen darf. Für die Abendlich Unterhaltung ohne TV sind genügend spiel und Puzzle für die kleinsten aber auch für Erwachsene vorhanden. Selbst für einen Besuch an dem wunderschönen Strand des Michigan See in New Buffalo ist mit Strandstühlen und Handtüchern gesorgt. Danke nochmal an dich liebe Rebecca das wir Gäste in deinem Haus sein dürften. Alles Gute für die Zukunft wünscht dir Familie Andrzejak aus Deutschland Thank you, dear Rebecca You couldn't ask for a better landlady. Thanks to the excellent communication with her before our trip, the vacation was a complete success. Without their good work and research before our trip, we would never have been able to experience what we did in and around New Buffalo. The house is clean and well furnished for all needs. There is nothing that should be missing in a modern household. For evening entertainment without TV, there are enough games and puzzles for the little ones but also for adults. Even a visit to the beautiful Lake Michigan beach in New Buffalo is provided with beach chairs and towels. T

Very nice!
We really enjoyed our stay at the storybook cottage! It had everything we needed and we felt right at home. There is a strong potpourri smell that was very hard to get used to, so we spent a lot of time on the lovely porch! Everything in town is so close by! One thing I wanted to note is the listing says this is a waterfront property and the water is several blocks away. The description notes that, but I think this can be misleading.

Great Stay at Lovely Cottage
Enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Storybook Cottage. The home was immaculate with very nice furnishings/decor and comfortable beds. The location was ideal for getting to downtown New Buffalo and the several quaint, lakeside towns to the north. This cottage truly deserves the high ratings it has received from those that have stayed there previously.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Conway

Host profile image
Rebecca and her husband, Bill met when they were both in the sixth grade talent show at New Buffalo Elementary School. They wonder--since they were in the same class starting in kindergarten--why it took them so long! After college, both moved away from the area but, after reconnecting, getting married, and birthing two baby girls, they were quick to return "home" in order to give their girls the same advantages they had growing up. It is true--every member of the Conway family knows he or she is fortunate to live in a one-stoplight town on a big lake with small town advantages and big city opportunities. The family resides just a few houses down from Rebecca's family home and enjoys sharing the Storybook Cottage with others.
