Discover the Luxury of Having More Time

Sometimes the best getaways don't happen on the weekend.

A weekday getaway to Petite Acres offers a different side of New Buffalo and Harbor Country: quieter, slower, and wonderfully unhurried. Beaches feel more peaceful, local restaurants offer more flexibility, and there's more room to experience Southwest Michigan at your own pace.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a few days of remote work, a wellness getaway, or simply some time to recharge, Monday through Thursday might just be the best-kept secret in New Buffalo.

Why Visit During the Week?

Weekdays invite you to experience Harbor Country at its most relaxed.

Linger over brunch, browse the shops of downtown New Buffalo, explore Southwest Michigan's wineries and tasting rooms, or spend an afternoon along Lake Michigan without feeling like you need to rush to the next thing.

And back at Petite Acres, there's even more reason to slow down.

Enjoy the property's wooded setting, unwind in the sauna, refresh with a cold plunge, or simply settle into your private accommodations and enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.

Designed for Romantic Escapes

There's something especially romantic about getting away in the middle of the week.

Start the morning with coffee on your private patio, spend the afternoon exploring Southwest Michigan wine country, and return to Petite Acres for a quiet evening beneath the trees.

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise escape, or simply making time for each other, a midweek stay offers the privacy, space, and slower pace to make a few days away feel like much more.

Work Somewhere Worth Waking Up

Your office doesn't have to look the same every day.

For remote workers and guests with flexible schedules, Petite Acres makes it easy to blend productivity with a change of scenery.

Start the morning with coffee in a peaceful setting, connect to reliable Wi-Fi when it's time to focus, and trade your commute for an afternoon at the beach, a visit to a local winery, or time in the sauna and cold plunge.

Work when you need to. Enjoy where you are when you don't.

Wellness Comes Naturally Here

A few days away can make it easier to reset.

Begin the morning slowly before heading to Oak Studio, spend time in the sauna, experience the cold plunge, or simply enjoy the quiet of Petite Acres' wooded setting.

With fewer plans competing for your attention, a weekday stay gives you the space to move, rest, recharge, and settle into a different rhythm.
