New Buffalo Vacation Rental: Wooded Walden cottage vacation rental surrounded by nature, but within walking distance of downtown of New Buffalo and the beaches. Short drive to Casino. Sleeps 6
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.

"July 2022 Tallgrass"
Our stay was perfect at Tallgrass. Extremely comfortable home away from home.
"Beautiful location"
Photos of Tall Grass Cottage don't do it justice. It is a beautiful property and very well maintained.
"Best rental for our family"
Before our trip, Ron Morales, from WAYA was great to work with. He was very thorough and attentive to communications in a timely manner.
The rental is beautiful, updated, and comfortable. The location is very close to the beach in New Buffalo; a 4-minute drive, would be a challenge to walk since there are no sidewalks a good deal of the way -just a narrow shoulder. We had to drive to the beach anyway because of 3 small children. The neighborhood was very safe and the neighbors were friendly. The loft was the highlight-the kids each had their own bed, play space, TV, and bathroom. All of their toys and belongings stayed up there which kept the downstairs free of clutter. My husband was a big fan of the screened-in porch he could have his own space to read and listen to the google pod. Also, the screened-in porch has a large table for 6-we ate every meal out there. No bugs in there, but, outside yes. No-fault of WAYA or the owners-Make sure you bring strong bug spray. The bathrooms were very clean and updated-as were the two large bedrooms with queen-sized beds.
NO DRESSERS-
One important thing missing were dressers in each of the large adult bedrooms. If you like putting your clothes away-no where to put them, nor did the closets have shelving in lieu of dressers for guests, so keep that in mind!
Overall, we had a great time being close to the town, beaches, breweries, wineries, etc. We would recommend this rental and will be renting from WAYA again next summer.
"Great Location"
Once again we found another WAYA location that met our family's needs and Ron did a lot to help us out. The house was great and we loved the location.
"Loved this home!"
Beautifully decorated and maintained. We really enjoyed the outdoor screened porch and deck too. It all felt very special and added to the enjoyment of our stay!
"Excellent!"
We had our annual girl’s trip at this cozy and beautiful house. It was our favorite place that we have stayed so far. We loved the location and the stocked, beautiful home. Secluded enough, yet close to all of the fun of New Buffalo. We will be booking here again for sure! Waya rentals was a great company to deal with too. Overall, excellent experience. Thank you!
"Great House Near Town"
A very clean place with lots of room and natural light and with a nice screened in porch. The gas grill is on the porch which keeps you dry when raining. There is also a gas heater for the colder months. It is conveniently located a little over a mile from downtown and less than two miles from the marina. . All in all we (two couples) had a very nice time staying there.
"Beautiful Home"
We really enjoyed this home!!! Great furnishings, great location, loved the screened in-porch!!! Highly recommend!!!!
"Family Getaway"
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.
