Picture a chair at the other end of the Grotto Built on an old creek bed is the Grotto where you can escape the rest of the world unseen by anyone outside your hideaway as long as you leave your phone in the house. Several AMTRAK trains stop at New Buffalo traveling from Chicago to Detroit View ffrom directly above 308 S.

Property Description
Life here is easy. Especially because of the hidden Grotto created around a submerged stream where you can go to separate yourself from your everyday life by focusing on the water flowing by. Within a half mile, you'll find a full-service grocery, with a great beer, wine, and liquor inventory, many popular restaurants with creative menus, a cozy coffee and deli hangout, fun shops, a drugstore, and a welcoming library with WiFi. Your home also comes with a permit to park free at New Buffalo's beautiful Lake Michigan beach, a wide stretch of sand with public restrooms. Friends can visit by train, since the New Buffalo Amtrak station (see photo) connects Chicago and Detroit. Plan a rail trip to a University of Michigan game, or drive an hour to catch the Fighting Irish at Notre Dame. You'll also be at the heart of Harbor Country, a charming corner of Michigan stretching
