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.

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!

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

Comfortable retro feel home that allows pets!
Everything about our stay was excellent. We loved the decor, retro games and turntable with 70s and 80s records. The beds were comfortable and the living area was cozy with the fireplace. Having two bathrooms available to get ready for our son’s wedding was a huge plus. The bathroom off of the master bedroom has a great shower and the other one has a jet tub. Our dogs also enjoyed it :) We would definitely stay 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!

Cozy property close to Warren dunes beach
This is our first time renting a vacation home anywhere. We loved the photos of the property and they were exactly the same in person. Since this house is located very close to the Warren dunes state park, it took less than 5 minutes to get there. The nearest big grocery store is Meijer’s which is located in Bridgman (15 minutes away). The decor and furnishings were very good, kitchen was well stocked with all pots and pans, condiments, silverware and plates and bowls. There were plenty of bath towels and we were able to make good use of the washer & dryer everyday for towels and our clothes. Though the rooms were small, they had king sized beds in two rooms and a queen in the third. The bathrooms were good sized with plenty of natural light coming through the windows and skylight. The yard is pretty big with many trees providing good shade during the day and ample space to park multiple vehicles in the garage pad. Though this house is great, there were a few pain points for us with this house. 1. The biggest one being the cleaning which was a big disappointment. There was a lot of pet hair on the floors, dining chairs (fabric), bed pillows and everywhere. I’m not saying pets shouldn’t be allowed but since all guests are charged for cleaning, this should be cleaned before the next guest checks-in. We had to cover the dining chairs and bed pillows with bath towels to prevent the dog hair from sticking to our clothes. The floors were full of pet hair as well and I eventually vacuumed the whole house which took only 20 minutes but got rid of all the hair; this tells me the floors were not even cleaned by the cleaner. 2. The front door locks didn’t work properly; though we didn’t use them during our stay, we had a hard time getting that door to lock and had to use the chain to prevent it from opening from the outside. 3. Not a pain point, but since the house is very old, the wood siding in the exterior is pretty old and has holes from carpenter bees. The cleanliness issue was communicated to the owner/host who offered to have the cleaners come back, but it was a bit too late as all the basic cleaning should be done before guests arrive, not after they check-in. Overall, we loved staying here; had the house been cleaned, I would’ve given it a five star rating.

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!

Perfect vacation home!
My husband, teen daughter, and our dog vacationed in this updated and modern home over the July 4th week. The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and 5 minutes away from Warren Dunes. We are beach people, so we visited different beaches in the area. Our favorite beach was Weko Beach which was a 10 minute drive north. We dined out on most nights in New Buffalo which is a 15 minute drive south of Sawyer. Our favorite restaurants were Bentwood Tavern, The Stray Dog, and Brewster’s Italian Cafe. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone who appreciates a clean aesthetically pleasing home away from home!!

Beautiful home and fabulous location
We loved our stay and were sad to leave! The house itself was clean, well-maintained, and spacious. You could tell the owners put a lot of thought into decorating each room. The deck was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee each morning and the kids had so much fun running around the huge backyard. We appreciated the large supply of bath towels, kitchen utensils, and even entertainment (cards & board games). The house is just a few minutes away from an incredible ice cream shop, farmers market, and of course, Warren Dunes State Park. We hope to return in the future!
