Charlie's On Comanche
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Set at the corner of two quiet roads, this cottage holds everything you need for a getaway for work or play. The beach is less than a mile away, while downtown New Buffalo offers various shopping and dining experiences.
Two levels of comfortable spaces await at this lovely home - the screened porch may become your favorite spot to relax! Unwind next to the firepit in chilly weather, or cool down in the central air conditioning on sunny days. The cottage's open layout allows plenty of natural light to come inside. Amenities include a gas grill, a private washer/dryer, and incredibly fast WiFi to help with your remote work projects. The full kitchen features full-size appliances and equipment enough for enjoying delicious meals together. The richly decorated space allows for comfortable wind-downs and long conversations. A calm and peaceful holiday awaits you.

Great spot with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable furnishings. The beach is a short but somewhat challenging bike ride away.

My wife and I just returned from this property after 4 days. Here is our review:
- Close to the beaches, breweries, casino, and owners.

This was a great place to stay! It was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and there were plenty of blankets, towels, etc. It has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A winding staircase leads to a spacious upstairs bedroom that has a king-sized bed. Both beds were comfortable and had comfortable pillows. There is a cute enclosed porch in the back. We were able to walk to a nice beach which had soft sand and was not too crowded - the day we were there (late July), the water was pretty warm and calm, so perfect for swimming. We were very comfortable here, and would definitely stay at this lovely property again!

We came for my wife’s reunion. It was just the two of us, so the space was perfect. The house was very clean and the kitchen, while small has everything, including new appliances. There is a new couch that is not in the pictures and it is a winner. Both beds are comfortable. The spiral staircase would be tricky if you have mobility issues or vertigo, but the space upstairs has its own bathroom. A great place to stay.

Clean, quaint and beautiful energy in this cute little cottage.

The minute we walked in, we could see and smell the cleanliness, nothing overpowering (because I have sensitivities), just smelled fresh! The cottage was stocked with everything we needed to cook, and very tastefully, I might add. We slept in the upstairs loft and the bed was amazingly comfortable, I have back issues and slept like a baby. The back deck and screened-in back area were an added bonus. The location is great, just a bike ride to the beach. We had a wonderful time and we will be back. Thank you Charlie!

Recently refreshed interior was cozy. Exterior deck with detached screen room looked very inviting for the summer. Living room was nice sized with fireplace, seating was limited.
4.8
Very well-stocked with everything you need for cooking; great back yard for relaxing; very quiet area. Found the walk to the beach a little too long for schleping, but no big deal to drive to other beach access.

It was such a cute place with everything we needed for a couples getaway. Our bed was very comfortable! We are already talking about the next time.
4.8
Girls trip was a blast here. Everything you need including an ice maker, wine fridge, comfy beds, clean, and kitchen was well appointed. The pillows were lumpy, so pack your own. We were ok in the living room but would have preferred a more comfy couch. The weather was great so we enjoyed the patio. So close to so much (Warren Dunes, Three Oaks and Journeyman, and Red Arrow Roadhouse) that this is an ideal getaway. We’ll be back.

Cottage is very charming with upscale amenities. Outdoor screened in porch was a great addition. Bed was comfortable. Enjoyed our stay!

This was the perfect spot for a little fall getaway. We enjoyed being tucked in the woods, but not too far away from town. We will return!
4.8
Loved the location! Far enough away from town, but only a 10 min drive to New Buffalo. Loved the deck and screened in porch. Saw 3 deer right outside the house.
4.8
We very much enjoyed our stay at Charlie’s. It is a darling little home close to everything. We will definitely be booking again next year!
The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need, we loved that part usually when we stay in a VRBO the kitchen is lacking. That was not the case we made so awesome meals and enjoyed time with our friends.

This cottage was great for our family of 3. Plenty of space & amenities. My son loved the spiral staircase & riding his bike around the neighborhood. Process & communication we’re super easy & convenient.
4.8
Loved the screen house and how close everything was for us.
4.8
Very peaceful. Close in proximity to New Buffalo public beach and Washington park beach. Walking distance to Michiana beach (saw beautiful sunsets). Well stocked kitchen, bathroom and linens. Perfect little getaway.
4.8
Great location and beautiful lawn filled with trees. The home was clean, stocked with kitchen supplies and new appliances.
Only issue was the upstairs bed being very uncomfortable/broken frame.

The house was adorable. Just how it looks in the pictures, with a well-stocked kitchen. The furnishings were lovely and it was roomy. The three-seasons porch was just adorable, with a lovely space heater it was wonderful to cuddle up in front of with a hot drink. (In the winter- it would be great in the summer, too.)
Our biggest complaint was the hot water. It would run hot for a minute or two but then turn lukewarm and then frigid cold in either shower.
The rest were small annoyances. The master bed rattled and clanged when we first sat on it, and we found the middle supporting legs were entirely disconnected- when we mentioned this to management, we were told it had apparently "always been that way". The electric to the porch was non-functional, and we had to trip the circuit to get it working again. Early in our visit we had to squash a large cockroach, though we only saw the one- it's clear they have been doing pest management, so hopefully the problem is well on it's way to being resolved.
The house would have also benefited from extra linens as it was quite cold, and the heat was set to drop down to 65 over night.
But overall, we had a nice stay. There were good restaurant options nearby, the bed was very comfortable (though the living room furniture was not), the yard was spacious- it's a lovely little get away, just needs a little work.

Winter Getaway
We wanted to have a nice quiet getaway. This was the perfect spot. The home was quite, cozy, and clean. It was an easy to walk few blocks from the lake. You could see deer in the yard at night or in the morning. I would recommend this to anyone and would rent it again.
