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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Cozy home away from home

My family and I wanted to get away and just enjoy some time together and this was the perfect place! The house was perfect, the yard was wonderful for the kids to roam and for us to enjoy the sunshine. It was nice neighborhood, and with it being a dead end road, we didn’t have to worry all that much about traffic. This will be a vacation we will be able to talk about for a long time and the memories are endless. Carla was quick to reply when messaged and she made sure any questions were answered!
