Perfect for our family

We've been coming to the area for a few years now and love it. This house was perfect for our family of 6. Having three nice showers was great after long beach days. The loft area upstairs was great for the kids to play. Overall the house was clean and well stocked. They had beach chairs and umbrellas for us to use which was nice

this house fit our needs perfectly. There were seven adults and one baby. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our dinners and was well stocked. The screen porch was fabulous as was the fire pit. All the beds were comfortable. The walk to the beach was nice and relaxing complete with deer and other wildlife. We had a wonderful stay!

A Lovely Home in Sawyer

This lovely home is nestled in the woods for privacy, yet convenient to everything you could want or need. The owners have appointed their property with every possible comfort of home in a lovely rental. We enjoyed the various spaces for gathering indoors and out - especially the screened porch with its fireplace! This is our 3rd trip from MO to the Lake Michigan area and will now make a point to return to this property.

Both woodsy and walkable to the lake

Lovely home with three gathering areas, living room, second floor loft, and screened porch. The kitchen was ultra equipped. Closest beach is about .7 miles and a nice walk from behind the home to the beach. Two larger beaches in 8 minute drive.
