This super cute home has two bedrooms, wood floors, stone fireplace, and a big, screened back porch overlooking a wooded backyard. On the lakeside of Red Arrow Road, the location is ideal for walking to Warren Dunes, a short drive to several nearby beautiful beaches and golf courses, bike trails, and visiting local breweries, restaurants and shops. Winter activities include scenic walks, cross country ski trails, exploring the unique shops along Red Arrow Highway, and sitting in front of the fireplace with a good book!

Stocked with everything you need for the beach, grilling, or chilling at the house with games and puzzles. In home WIFI allows for remote working if needed!

Additional amenities include gas grill, bikes, coffee (drip and pods), beach gear, TV, firewood, and full capacity washer/dryer.

Proximity to several points of interest, including:

The house was PERFECT for a weekend getaway! A perfect central location for all of our SW Michigan adventures, tucked away in a quiet wooded wonderland just minutes from the Warren Dunes. The hosts were amazing and gave us great local tips on places to eat, drink, and play. When they weren’t available via text (they were literally always available ), a carefully curated binder made by the owner was available to peruse to make sure the vibes never fell flat. The binder and the hosts made us feel like we were locals! After a fun filled day, we loved winding down in the screened-in porch. We will be back!

Sensational Sawyer Host

Fantastic amenities and top notch linens. The host made everything perfect for a relaxing weekend. The Warren State park with a beautiful beach and dunes are so close. The local restaurants have amazing menus of gourmet meals! Dog park down the road in Halbert, Swedish Bakery, Sawyer garden center and the host has it all detailed in her home care binder. It’s a really low key area with less traffic and Great restaurants. We highly recommend this home.

Cute and cozy home

We had a baseball tournament in Saint Joseph and wanted to stay close but not in town. I found this property and messaged the host inquiring the driving distance to Saint Joseph and they responded right away. The house was super cute and clean and I loved the screened in back porch area. I hope to come back in the summer and be able to spend some time enjoying it. We are a family of 5 and and the house fit us perfectly. It was super close to Warren Dunes State Park and my kids loved climbing the sand dunes there. The home was perfect for out short trip and the hosts were so helpful and gracious!! Will definitely be back.

Fall Getaway

We loved our stay here. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. The pine tress and wildlife are beautiful. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace one evening. The back porch is very nice and we always appreciate finding places where we can bring our dog. The Red Arrow Roadhouse has great food. Terry is a wonderful host.

Great place for beaches, biking and eating.

We stayed here for 12 days. Had a great time. Cute little quiet community great for biking, coffee shops, restaurants, and Lake Michigan beaches. Walking distance to Warren Dunes S.P. Fresh made donuts up the road. Lots of shops and a paved trail that runs for miles for biking walking or jogging. Very dog friendly area also. We saw lots of deer walking by every day. Perfect getaway.

Perfect little beach cottage!

Place was as described/shown in pictures. The place was spotless, had everything you could ever need and is within walking distance to a private beach. It is a lovely house with gorgeous landscaping and has an amazing screened in porch. We especially appreciated the fact it was dog friendly and really enjoyed using the bikes. I would recommend this place to others and would stay here again in the future!

I wish we were back at this place sitting in front of the fire and going for walks. Terry was a great host and I’m hoping we can go back soon. I’m sure it would be even more wonderful in the summer in the screened in porch!
