Summary:
Red Arrow Lodge
The Space:
Escape to this spacious Sawyer retreat just minutes from Lake Michigan and the stunning Warren Dunes State Park. Tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting, this welcoming home is perfect for large families or groups looking to relax, recharge, and explore all that Southwest Michigan has to offer. With over 2,500 square feet of living space, a heated outdoor pool (open May through mid-September), and a fully fenced yard with three decks, a fire pit, and a natural gas grill, it’s a private oasis ready for year-round fun. Dogs are welcome to join the adventure. Inside, unwind in the bright and open great room, cook meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and gather around the dining area for family meals or game night. The lower level offers even more room to spread out, featuring a cozy family room with a large-screen TV, PlayStation 4, full-size arcade game, and board games. Whether you're staying in or heading out, the home is designed for comfort, connection, and entertainment. Sleep soundly in four thoughtfully decorated bedrooms: the Aqua Room with a double bed, the Coral Room with a king bed, and the Rose Room with a queen. The lower level includes the fourth bedroom with two queen beds and a queen pull-out or sectional in the common space, accommodating up to 12 guests with ease. Two full bathrooms, a half bath, and in-home laundry ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. Just one mile from the entrance to Warren Dunes State Park, you’ll find towering sand dunes, scenic hiking trails, and wide sandy beaches perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. Cherry Beach, Weko Beach, and the shores of Lake Michigan are also within easy reach. Explore Harbor Country's charming small towns like Union Pier, Harbert, Lakeside, and Three Oaks, where you’ll find art galleries, antique shops, craft breweries, local coffee roasters, and unique farm-to-table restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy nearby biking and walking trails, golf courses, fishing charters, and kayaking on the Galien River. Wine lovers will appreciate the short drive to local favorites like Round Barn Winery, Dablon Vineyards, and Gravity Winery. In winter, nearby ski hills and snowshoe trails offer cold-weather adventure just as cozy and memorable. With its blend of comfort, privacy, and location, this Sawyer home is a favorite for family vacations, friend getaways, and weekend retreats. Whether you’re spending days by the pool, nights around the fire pit, or exploring the lakeshore, this property has everything you need for a memorable Michigan escape. Things to know: The outdoor pool is open around Memorial Day to mid-September, weather dependent.

This very nice home, located in a secluded spot, was perfect for our large group, with comfortable sleeping quarters for all. We especially enjoyed the spacious fenced yard with multi-level decks, fire pit, and heated pool. Home was very clean; kitchen was well equipped with dishes, cooking utensils and a number of coffee-making options. Another bonus was plenty of extra towels and lots of pool/beach towels.We will be back!
The house is so nice, clean, organized and cozy.The basement was a plus we were not expecting.The host is increadible helpful, nice and polite.I would definitely come back
Great house in a quiet private location. The house is very spacious and has every thing. The pool is great in a fenced yard with a big deck. We enjoyed it so much and it was perfect for our family.

Mary was a great host. Nice comfortable home with a great pool. Beds in great shape. Nice porch and deck. Close to lake Michigan and shopping
We had a wonderful stay and it was very relaxing. Got to use the pool which was great and enjoyed the peace and quiet. As always, communication with the owner was impeccable and we will back soon!!
This is a great property! Comfortable, relaxing and close to loads of restaurant, shopping and Warren Dunes. We really enjoyed the pool, the quiet and the location. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. This is our 3rd trip there. We will definitely be back!
This was our second summer stay at the house—enjoyed it immensely again. Layout is great with plenty of space, the fenced yard is so nice for our dog, and we enjoyed many afternoons in the pool. No issues at all with the house, it’s a wonderful place to stay.
We had an amazing time at this beautiful home. Mary was an excellent host. We most definitely enjoyed the swimming pool! The house entertained my family with plenty of room and excellent seating arrangements. Loved the basement with the sectional and big TV. We would definitely stay here again. Thumbs up
We enjoyed staying at this property. It was very clean and comfortable. The backyard was great, fully fenced for dogs, and enough seating options to sit in shade at any time of day. Pool was warm, even on 60 degrees days. Basement though, was the highlight. Nice layout. We watched family movies on surround sound on our rainy day. Also, walkout so handy letting dogs outside. Grill was very nice for those that like grilling. Cooked all meals on it. We would definitely stay again. Very close to Warren Dunes and Weko Beach (mostly used Weko so we could walk at 6 am with dogs using the boardwalk to Warren Dunes dog park side of Weko Park).
Mary's place was perfect for a weekend getaway from Chicago with friends! Just minutes from the Warren Dunes and Michigan Wine Trail, there was no shortage of fall activities. The bedroom layout was perfect for our group of 6 singles and we loved piling onto the downstairs couch after a full day. Due to the season we weren't able to take full advantage of the pool and backyard, but we hope to return in the summer for a longer stay.
My friends and I took a long weekend together and our stay was great at this property. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Beautiful wooded lot with firepit that we enjoyed! Great big kitchen with everything you need to cook wonderful meals. Drank wine, played cards, watched football, shopped the antique markets along Red Arrow Hwy. Mary is a great hostess and very communicative!
I could not have picked a better property. Mary was amazing! She went above and beyond. Even opened the pool early so we could us it! Beautiful home. Had everything. Looking forward to going back next year.
Thank you so much Mary. We truly had a wonderful time.
Mary was very helpful. 2nd time staying at this home and we loved it. Close to other cities. The heated pool was very enjoyable. Wish there was a sidewalk to the state park. It's literally a 5 min drive; if that. House has everything you need. We've told all our friends about the location and the house. Can't wait to go back!
We had a great stay with family. We had 8 adults with plenty of room for everyone. There are two queen beds in the large, basement bedroom, a bathroom along with a huge living room down there. Upstairs was three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and a large dining table. Outside was a fenced in yard (pet friendly) and a large pool--very clean. Lots of deck and chairs for sitting. Lots of trees for shade. The house is less than 5 minutes from the Warren Dunes. We enjoyed the close by ice cream shop and a huge farm stand almost right across the street. The showers had super water pressure (I have stayed at places with low water pressure and I hate not getting the shampoo out of my hair:) Overall a great stay!
We loved this house. The backyard was such a private haven. The pool was wonderful. We were in it every day. The fenced backyard was the driving factor for our pups. No leads or leashes needed. We didn't get to do s'mores due to the extreme heat but the fire pit area was very nice.We were shocked at how close the house is to everything!! Even though we are basically local (Grand Rapids) we knew nothing about Sawyer. It is such a nice little beach town without all of the traffic and crowds. I highly recommend visiting the Sawyer Home and Garden Center. Great shopping experience. So much fun things to buy! We would stay here again for sure.
We had a wonderful stay! 4 kiddos, 4 parents, 2 grandparents. We love Mary. Kids loved the pool and big basement and we all loved the beautiful backyard. Easy drive to the dunes and lake and many other things. Highly recommend.
This was our second stay here---the best value for your dollar in the area, hands down. Beautiful property, right by the state park and quick drives away from New Buffalo and St. Joseph. We love it here.
