Description Description
Whether you need a staycation, workcation, or a getaway, Deer Haus awaits your next adventure. The tranquil cottage is nestled in the woods and yet strikingly close to the heart of New Buffalo. Deer Haus is only half a mile from downtown New Buffalo’s restaurants and breweries, great for a bike ride. Pack up your car or continue to pedal another mile to New Buffalo’s beautiful public beach or head in the opposite direction to nearby Four Winds Casino.

Tucked in on a private wooded lot, the neighborhood’s gravel path leads you to an escape from the usual hustle and bustle. The elegantly decorated home takes its design inspiration from nature as well as a wink to an alpine hunting lodge. Deer Haus hosts bamboo floors in all the first-floor living spaces, wood blinds, granite countertops, and KitchenAid appliances. Cooks of all levels will enjoy a well-equipped kitchen and the additional convenience of a KitchenAid toaster oven with an air fryer feature. The Keurig dual pot and pod brewer will keep your crew caffeinated.

The ample open-space living room and dining area include comfortable furniture, a cozy, gas-lit fireplace, high vaulted ceilings, and a fireplace-mounted smart TV. Skylights and windows bathe the house in the warm glow of natural light. The main bed and bath as well as a guest bedroom and full bath are on the first floor. A charming third bedroom, half bath, and loft create a second-floor retreat from the rest of the home.

You’ll enjoy the serene sounds of birds chirping while lounging on the screened-in porch or choose to unwind outside in the home’s latest amenity, a six-person hot tub. Dine alfresco on the ground-level deck and end your evening with a round of smores at the rustic firepit.

The Deer Haus was comfortable and homey. The well stocked kitchen, good bedding, the hot tub, the cozy fireplace all added to our great stay. All five of us and our dog had plenty of space. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Stay
Pictures don't do Deer Haus justice - it was instantly cozy, well-appointed, and the perfect spot for our getaway. Minutes from downtown but far enough away to give you the "in the woods peace and quiet" feeling. Communication with Juniper was fantastic. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to return.

If you’re looking for a cozy, comfortable place to stay, look no further! This was the perfect getaway for my kids for fall break! Just minutes from New Buffalo’s downtown! The screened in porch was lovely to relax in and enjoy the beautiful weather. The hot tub was luxurious and clean. Everything was as described with amenities galore! We loved our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you, Juniper!

This house is such a a great find! It is tucked away in a private area, but less than 2 miles from gorgeous Buffalo Beach. If you're looking for a quiet place to unwind in a beautiful small Lake Michigan town, I would high recommend this house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Haus! The backyard is super peaceful and a nice retreat, and the overall space was so well put together. Loved the decor and the theme - even the smell of the hand soaps and lotion. The town is just a short drive away but you really feel like you’re in a private wooded area away from everything. Also really glad there were ample amenities like towels and mugs as we had a party of 6. Would stay again!

Beautiful Home
We had a great long weekend in this beautiful house. It had all that we needed and was walking distance to downtown New Buffalo and 20 minutes to the dunes! The wooded area around the house was so beautiful and relaxing. We spent hours out in the screened in porch and around the big dining table. We will be back!

We loved our stay at Deer Haus. It felt more like a home than a rental and also tucked away but so close to downtown New Buffalo. *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

We loved the comfortable living room seating around the fireplace, the kitchen and large dining room table for family dinners, lovely bedrooms so comfortable and nicely decorated throughout. That’s just the inside! The wooded area in back made us feel tucked away in the woods yet close to town. *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

We had a very restful time at this location. It was quiet, peaceful and private. I loved all the natural sunlight, the screened in porch, and the German house feel. *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

Deer Haus was a wonderful place to stay. Super clean, lovely home in a very back-to-nature spot. Close to all the fun in New Buffalo, but still felt like a secluded retreat. *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

The place was spotless and had nice modern appliances. The decor was inviting. There was a lot of hiking and breweries in the area. The bonus was we had a hot tub to recover in. Very dog friendly. *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Deer Haus! The home was clean, cozy and decorated nicely!! The kitchen was stocked fully with utensils and anything you need to cook a great meal! In front of the fire place was a nice place to enjoy our morning coffee or evening cocktails. The hot tub was an added bonus. Deer Haus was close to all surrounding communities and activities. Our family of six, which included us and our two adult children with their fiancés were VERY comfortable there and had wonderful time! Don’t hesitate to rent this cozy retreat! *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*
