COTTAGE ON WHIDBEY
New Buffalo, MI
ABOUT OUR HOME
Part of the beautiful Merchant Street Cottages in New Buffalo, MI, there’s no need to look any further for your getaway accommodations this summer. For over a year, we’ve “lived in the blueprints” to ensure we’ve thought of everything and everyone when designing the Cottage on Whidbey. As we look back on the first time we stayed at the Cottages with our family back in 2006, we can’t express how excited we are to now be a part of the development and to be able to share it with you and your family. Enjoy!
ABOUT US
We're Sarah & Geoff and we stumbled upon New Buffalo years ago, while dating. Over the years, New Buffalo has woven itself through the fabric of our lives and is part of us and who we are now. This house represents that. We have two beautiful little girls and incredible families around us. Our "real lives" take place in a suburb, just outside of Detroit, but New Buffalo is where all of our hearts reside! This house is us, but like any good fortune, what would it be if we could not share it. Let this house be woven into the fabric of your lives as well!
