Bright Comfortable Beachy Cottage

Light beachy cottage is in a great location, on a quiet dead end street. Large comfortable beds and all the thoughtful touches throughout. The only thing we might suggest to add is a small portable fan for the queen bedroom.

Snowy get away!

It was a lot of fun to get away. Had lots of snow falling which was absolutely beautiful and we even got to the lake and walked around the sand, which was of course covered with snow, and see the frozen waves in the distance. The house was warm and inviting and had everything we needed.

Fun Family Time

Great location, private, excellent communication/responsiveness, comfortable, welcoming, and attractive mix of cozy and modern. Loved having the big table to gather around and close access to the beach. Enjoyed the Sawyer Garden Center and the recommendation of Black Currant Bakehouse for our celebratory cake -- delicious! Thank you, Carla & Andrew!

Excellent late summer retreat

We throughly enjoyed staying here. The house we better equipped that any 5 star hotel I’ve stayed at. It sure made the stay even better. Great private back yard with fire pit. Large deck was perfect for afternoon visiting with each other. Even had a family ping pong tournament. The house was bright and very comfortable. Perfect size for the 5 of us. Thank you!

Quaint cottage on quiet street, near beach

Such a great cottage! Ample space for 5 adults & 2 dogs. We enjoyed the deck (west facing), fire pit, ping pong table in garage, the digital vinyl record player & records. There was plenty of utensils & cooking supplies too. Warren Dunes was <1 mile away & the local vineyards were a short distance. Can’t wait to come back again

Great home in Southwest Michigan

My wife, 2 dogs and I stayed here for 4 days and 4 nights. The host was great at getting us settled in, then we never had need to touch base after. Instructions were clear, the place was as described, and the whole stay was perfect. Dogs loved running around out back. We did a fire one night, which was really relaxing. The area was very conveniently located. 20 to 25 minutes got you to anything you might want to do, with a few nice breweries and restaurants within 7 minutes. We did some hiking, each day, and never repeated a route during our time. The dunes amd the "dog beach" arent really that useful for dogs to run around because they wont let dogs be off leash. So not a knock on this stay at all, more a note for those looking in the area. To end back on the place, it was a perfect stay, amd we would definitely recommend it.

Great place to stay, with a couple of quirks

House is a great getaway, we had a great time and enjoyed the amenities. Great communication with the host. The house is decorated well, beds are comfortable, bathrooms are thoughtfully designed and pleasant. Everything you need is there. The location is great, and so close to the dunes which are beautiful. I only have a couple of negatives to share:The front door is difficult to close/lockThe property would benefit from some stepping stones or a path from parking to the house. We had a lot of rain while there, and it was a muddy and wet mess walking to and from the cars.The ping pong table is in the garage, which is not an issue, but the garage has a lot of odds and ends scattered about, making it difficult to actually play ping pong.The cleanliness of the house when we arrived was ok, but there are a few areas that need attention such as the floors in the kitchen, as well as mold around the kitchen sink. I love that you can bring your dogs, and we did. I also paid a cleaning fee but I had to wash all the blankets on the beds before checkout per the instructions in the welcome booklet. I had to wake up extra early to ensure we could complete all the washing before 11AM checkout. The Washer and Dryer are not the fastest, so it took a while. We were still washing items up until checkout time, making my last morning at the home a chore instead of enjoy the last moments with my family.

Quick communication, flexible host, dog friendly and 3 BR were a good fit & appreciated by our family. There are a few small items that could be updated over time (pillows, shower curtains) but overall a comfortable place to stay!

Positives: The inside of the house was great. The kitchen was well-stocked, which helped us make our dinners together all week. All the rooms were clean and pleasant. The extra chairs and firepit were very useful, and the ping pong table in the garage was fun to use. Communication with the host was quick and helpful. The house is a 5 min drive from the beach and there was lots to do nearby.Suggestions: In general, we’d recommend going over the grounds before guests come - weeding, mowing, etc. There were several wasp nests under the deck table, which wasn’t a big deal as we sprayed them, but it might be good to check before guests arrive. Asking guests to wash and dry the sheets/pillowcases before leaving was unusual, and it seems like people could just throw dirty bedding into the dryer (we did wash and dry them…).We would come back for sure. It was a great location and the house worked great.

We really enjoyed the space. We loved the decor and skylights in the living room. Kitchen is fully stocked and we loved the record player. Cons: Beds were a bit too firm for our liking and I found it odd that we had to have linens in the dryer before check out. It made the morning of check out a bit stressful because we had to be awake early enough to strip the linens, put them to wash AND then dry. Also, do not recommend if you have dander allergies as there is a lot of animal hair.

Great place to stay!

This house was a great place to stay! We loved the location near downtown Sawyer and used our bikes to explore the bike route. The house was in good shape and clean! The owners were very quick to respond to questions and organized about check in and out procedures as well as expectations. The location is also great to be able to go to St. Joseph and New Buffalo.

Great communication once we arrived and had questions. Super location with lots of great day trips to take from here, and it was surprisingly very quiet. We thought we'd hear traffic, but not the case at all. Nice big yard for the dog, plenty of parking and great vibes in the decor. :)

Family Dream Come True

Lovely, light filled and decorated in mid century modern style that was pleasing and comfortable for both the 4 young children and 4 adults getting together for a beach vacation. Nice well equipped kitchen and 2 upscale bathroom. All was very clean and orderly on arrival. Proximity to Warren Dunes beach was a big plus. Would love to stay here again.
