And the fact is, Harbor Haven is super-close to all of these! Plus, you’re less than a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor – which includes boat, jet-ski, kayak and other watercraft rentals, as well as fishing expeditions and day or evening cruises.

There are all sorts of nearby woodland, lake and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore, the most popular of which is Warren Dunes State Park, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, gorgeous beachfront and wetland trails, as well as its extraordinary birdwatching! You and your guests might relish visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment and tennis courts. And for even more variety, nearby Union Pier also has a number of other great restaurants, coffee shops and breakfast spots.

This was a beautiful cottage that had everything we needed...and wanted. Many top notch perks like being able to walk 150ft to a private beach, enjoy family around the fire pit, walk along a scenic private road, to enjoying the high end kitchen and bathrooms! The cottage is elegant yet very warm and cozy. Any needs or questions were tended to very quick. Our family enjoyed the peaceful time and memories made!

Spectacular Songbird!
We just returned from our time at Songbird and couldn't get here fast enough to write a review. Songbird was absolutely perfect for our family of three for the long holiday weekend, though you could easily/comfortably fit another small family in the remaining bedroom areas. The house is incredibly well-appointed, more so than most rentals we have been to, and especially so for young kiddos. Our three year old was delighted when she spotted the two baskets of toys the homeowner has so graciously provided to play with! The home is also equipped with two pack and plays and a high chair for littler ones, as well as kiddo utensils and plastic plates/bowl/cups. The private beach entry is quite literally around the corner and a couple of houses down, an easy walk with our toddler. The New Buffalo/Union Pier area is darling - what an experience. We were repeat customers at Red Arrow Roasters, Ray & Al's (in nearby Galena), and Neon Moon Gelato. The property management team was incredibly responsive. The neighborhood is charming and completely idyllic with neighbors running, walking, and biking around almost constantly. We are in love with Songbird and already planning our return trip. An absolute delight!

The songbird is a very stylish lakeside home only a block away from a Lake Michigan private beach. The neighborhood is very quiet, peaceful, and high-end. The neighborhood is beautiful. The home was clean and had all the amenities listed. It's only a 5 minute drive to downtown New Buffalo where there are many nice restaurants and shops. The home was comfortable and perfect for our three-day family weekend. The host is very responsive and attentive to needs.

What a cool house! We loved our stay here and would absolutely stay here again. The house is modern and updated. The inside is a great layout - perfect for three small families or two medium sized families.
We also loved the screened in porch. The kitchen is great for cooking. The house also stocked with a ton of helpful items, like a pack and play, wagon for the beach, and beach towels. The house is a quick walk to the beach, with the private path to the beach being about a block away. The private beach is beautiful and serene.

Loved this house and location. The house was perfect for my wife, our three year old, and me. So close to the beach with lots of nice walking areas nearby, it was a relatively easy walk both to downtown New Buffalo and and Union Pier. Lots of restaurants, good playgrounds, shopping, grocery stores and bakeries are nearby. And the hosts shared a great guide to the area that had suggestions we, even as regular visitors to New Buffalo, hadn't heard of.
Check-in was a breeze, and they even let us in a bit early - a real life-saver when we were running up against nap time for our little one. The house is clean, has a well-stocked kitchen, and great spaces in and outdoors for hanging out, watching TV, and relaxing. Everything was as presented, and we had great communication throughout. Highly recommend for a weekend or longer stay (10 days), as we had.

Staying at The Songbird offered by Juniper Holiday + Home was an amazing experience!
Upon arrival (very easy and convenient self check-in), the space captured us with its beauty and charm. The main living area is open concept with gorgeous vaulted ceilings with skylights galore and a nice gas fireplace. Off to the side is a screened in porch area that was extremely charming. The primary bedroom was spacious with the vaulted ceilings and natural light. The primary bathroom was great and the shower was large with great water pressure. I also enjoyed the jetted tub! Everything was extremely clean and fresh. The property is adorable with little paths, a fire-pit with Adirondack chairs and paved areas w/ dining seating.
The location is spectacular! A++, 200 feet to a VERY private association beach and surrounded by gorgeous multi-million lakefront homes on the best street/shoreline in New Buffalo.
The service and professionalism is outstanding. Prompt, delightful and above and beyond.

Perfection
My group of college girlfriends - we live all over the country/world. And we get together every 1st weekend in June - who ever can make it that year. We are each other’s home but our day to day lives keep us very busy. We live for these weekends. The Songbird is out of a Nora Ephron movie. We spent most of our time talking on the screened in porch, interrupted only by sleep, meals, and walks on the gorg beach. The Midwesterner’s of the bunch will def return with our families. Highly recommend.

This location is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and private retreat. It is extremely walkable to the beach and walking trails. Although town is a short drive, you probably would not make it a walk.
Juniper had a fully stocked kitchen (more than I had anticipated) including coffee. There were soaps, lotions, and shower products in both bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept great.
The staff was easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. This property will not disappoint, until you have to leave... trust me, you won't want to go! I hope to stay again.

We spent three days on this beautiful, bright home set in a pretty neighborhood steps from Lake Michigan. Wonderful kitchen with awesome appliances and plenty of seating. Easy light fireplace and a TV in every bedroom. Minutes from downtown and 12 minutes from Golf. In warmer months, we could see using the fire pit and outdoor seating.

This home was beautiful! The location was perfect and the host went above and beyond to make us feel right at home and to make sure we knew everything before coming. The home was easy to find, and the home was perfectly cleaned when we arrived. There was everything we needed to cook in the kitchen, plenty of different appliances for all kinds of different eaters. Plenty of space in the kitchen and living room. The sunroom was a perfect edition. The kid's loft room was very cool and had plenty of different games and activities. The other bedrooms were great for everyone, and we all enjoyed the comfortable beds! The showers in both bathrooms are awesome.
Everything was even better than described and we will be booking again!

Our stay at The Songbird was delightful! Everything was as described and the host was extremely responsive and helpful. The location was wonderful as it was within walking distance of a private beach and a very short drive to the main part of town which offered lots of great restaurant, bar, and other local options. The house and surrounding area provided a wonderful atmosphere to escape and unplug for a few days. Would highly recommend for others looking to do the same!

We had a wonderful week-long stay at this beautiful cottage in New Buffalo. The cottage was fully stocked and we felt right at home. The proximity to Lake Michigan and the private beach was absolutely perfect - our pup especially enjoyed it! We can’t wait to stay again!

Perfect Beach Cottage
We were able to enjoy a nice walk to the community's private beach to dip our toes in Lake Michigan, lounge in Adirondack chairs encircling the fire pit in our own side yard, grill pork tenderloin on the back deck off the dining room, and sleep deeply in very comfortable beds - a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Wouldn't change a thing.

Amazing Property
The property was excellent. Well equipped kitchen, toiletries, and beautiful views. So much to do in the area, we enjoyed hiking, the beaches, shopping and some great restaurants nearby. The area has a lovely wine trail. The communication was excellent with simple check in/out procedures. We look forward to returning soon!

A fabulous home in an excellent location. Large, comfortable, equipped with everything one would need.
Comfy beds, great sized bathrooms. A fully-stocked kitchen for cooking holiday meals for a family.
Only thing lacking were dish towels! Other than that, five stars for sure!

Super cute and cozy place! We loved staying here and relaxing. The bed was amazingly comfy and the house offered plenty of spaces to chill inside and out. Beach access was a plus as well. It won’t last forever, but there was some construction noise during the day as the area seems to be growing rapidly and a new home was being built across the street. I also felt like a 10am check out was a bit earlier than normal.

This house was amazing. When booking a trip to new Buffalo I came across this location. All the windows and natural light is what drew my in initially. It did not disappoint. It slept 8 people comfortably which is exactly what I needed. amenities were amazing and clean! I was able to cook a beautiful brunch for my family on Saturday. I was able to use quite a few of the cooking Utensils that were provided. The screened in porch was another not-so-secret gem. My family was able to hangout comfortably in the morning and night making new memories and not having to worry about getting eaten alive by mosquitos.
As for the hosts, If I had questions I felt comfortable asking the home owners through the app, in which questions were answered in a promptly manner. The private beach access was an added bonus. My family loved waking up, having their coffee and taking their morning walk to the beach and lake!
Although we did not have time to have a bonfire, wood, bonfire pit and chairs were provided.
Highly recommend this location. You will not be disappointed!

Lovely updated space with beautiful master bathroom. comfortable beds and bedding, and HVAC works great. Outdoor area both screened in and open air are perfect for family or friends. Coffee available for a.m. and lots of towels. A number of great walking areas and easy access to beach reserved for our neighborhood. Marquette is a scenic easy drive and a straight shot into The New Buffalo shopping and restaurant areas.

Great place to stay for a fun girls weekend! Keep in mind there are only five beds, but if you're willing to share, it does sleep eight comfortably! The kitchen was fully stocked with every gadget you could need and there were plenty of extras as well. Just a short walk to the lake but there is a relatively steep staircase down, incase that is a challenge for anyone in your group. My friends were very impressed with everything and I would absolutely recommend!

The host was amazing. They were super quick to respond to anything we needed. They were very responsive and the house was BREATH TAKING!!! I said at least 20 times I wanted to buy it. We did lose power due to a storm and the host was very quick to rectify the situation, definitely don’t hesitate to stay here! The screened in porch is dreamy for your morning cup of coffee!

Great house & location
VRBO
My family just finished a stay at this house and enjoyed it. It’s a short one block walk to the trail leading to the stairs down to the beach. Because it’s a private beach it’s very quiet and relaxing with no crowds to contend with. The house was nicely updated with thoughtful touches throughout. We especially enjoyed the screened patio. Only issue during our stay was the lack of a bunk bed in the loft which was included in the listing. Ultimately the number of beds was sufficient for sleeping 8, not sleeping 10 guests as this listing indicated. We used a blowup mattress for our 9th & 10th guests. Otherwise this is a great property in a great location!
