A Day in New Buffalo,
the Petite Acres Way
While every visit unfolds a little differently, many guests find themselves settling into a familiar rhythm — one shaped by simple pleasures and time outdoors.
Mornings often begin slowly. Some guests start with a Pilates class at Prana Life, followed by coffee and a fresh pastry from David’s Deli & Café before heading toward the lake. A walk along the beach, with the sound of the water nearby, sets an easy tone for the day.
As the morning turns into afternoon, guests often explore downtown or enjoy lunch at PostBoy, known for its standout breakfast sandwiches, relaxed outdoor seating, and thoughtful cocktails and mocktails. The pace is easy, social, and unhurried.
Later in the day, many take a short drive to Farmette to pick up local wine, fresh provisions, the last latte of the day, or a loaf of their well-loved sourdough (featuring seasonal flavors). A stroll through Galien River County
Park often follows, where elevated boardwalks and open views offer a quiet moment before evening.
As the sun lowers, guests often return to Petite Acres with dinner in hand — Villa Nova pizza is a local favorite — and settle in to watch the sky shift toward sunset. Evenings tend to unfold naturally, shaped by conversation, fresh air, and the calm that comes from being surrounded by nature.
It’s not about checking off attractions. It’s about letting the day take shape on its own.
