Quick Fall Getaway
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.

Much needed fun
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

Happy Return
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.

Great House Minutes from the Dunes
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!

Huge pool, Private and Relaxing.
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.

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!

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!

Exceeded Expectations
This was our first year vacationing with our pup and the accommodations couldn’t have worked out better for our family. It was a luxury to be able to let the pup out into the safely fenced yard as needed. On top of that, the house was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. There are a lot of little things that can be frustrating when doing short term rentals but none of those were an issue here—large, new washing machine and dryer, an outdoor grill with natural gas hookup, plenty of towels and other necessities (luggage racks! so helpful!). We can’t wait to return next summer. Thank you, Mary!

Red Arrow Lodge
This was a family trip, with 4 adults, 1 toddler, 1 infant and 2 dogs. My wife and I also celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary during our stay. We took full advantage of the many areas of the home, both inside and out, especially the pool, fire pit, back deck and front porch. We enjoyed several outings to wineries, a brewery, coffee shop, the Lake at Warren Dunes State Park, a farm (picked berries), hiking and many other places during the week. Took full advantage of the very well stocked kitchen and didn't bother to turn on a television one time. It was just that much fun, mixed with relaxing and adventures.

Celebrating 50 with the family
We stayed to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary along with my 50th birthday. Wink wink. They were married 50 years in January and my brother and I purchased this June getaway for them. It just so happened to fall on my 50th birthday weekend so we celebrated that as well. The property was beyond expectation everything we needed was there and Mary was very responsive and answering any and all questions my parents were so impressed when they arrived that they called Mary right away to express their pleasure with the residence

Amazing break from the city!
My friends and our dogs had the BEST stay. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable - perfect vacation!! The pool was amazing and the yard was full of beautiful, mature trees, it felt like a secret forest! The fence was tall and very well maintained. There was a fire pit with plenty of chairs and the yard was large! Could not be a better escape from Chicago! Plus the owner was super responsive and extremely nice. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic Family Week
2 grandparents , 4 parents, one 3 year old and two 1 year olds. We had a blast! From the moment I booked, Mary was responsive and I could tell she wanted our family to have a great experience . She answered my many questions and was always prompt . The first day we were there, we had some air conditioning problems and she and her husband worked very hard to get repairmen there with it 24 hours … I loved that there is a finished basement with a huge bedroom full bath and a huge laundry room. One family stayed down there and that helped so much with all the baby nap schedules . We had plenty of bath towels and plenty of beach towels - all supplied by the host. We cooked all meals but one in the kitchen - gas stove made all the difference ! Plenty of room in the living room for all three kids to play while we made breakfast . Our main fun at the house was the backyard pool ( very clean and 85 degrees!) it has its own fence and locked gate which made it safe for our babies - all of us loved swimming in that pool anytime we get like it! The fire pit in the woods behind the pool was a hang out two nights for us - hotdogs and s’mores … all the trees were so beautiful. The entire place is fenced in which made it safe for our golden retriever. The two tiered deck off the house was great for gathering in the morning with coffee - or dinner on the large outdoor table . The front porch is adorable —-most mornings were spent there with coffee and little ones playing cars. The basketball net was a hit with my son in law…. There are several bikes and pool floats if you would need them. We didn’t bike bc of all the babies. I timed the drive from the driveway of this home to the entrance of Warren Dunes and it was exactly 30 seconds! No lie ! We bought the annual state park pass for each of our cars ( only $36) so we could come and go from the beach all we wanted - that was definitely worth the price. For groceries we ran to the fruit market which was one minute down the road and to Hardings grocery store in Bridgman for staples . I can’t say enough good things about this property for our family’s needs. The only thing We wish it had was a neighborhood to take walks in with the dog and the strollers. But everything else was fabulous !

Overall good experience
The pool and location are awesome. One downside was the amount of crickets and bugs that were in the basement. But that is expected being the the woods! The owner was very communicative, let us know when the power would be back on after a big storm went through and knocked it out. For the price we were hoping the bathrooms were a little more up to date but overall we had a good time and the pool was a great addition to our trip!

Perfect for people & puppies!
This place was perfect for 6 adults & 4 dogs. We had so much fun in the pool & at the firepit. The doggos just ran and played freely in the large fenced area. The basement is setup nicely with a very large bedroom, 2 beds, a family room area, bathroom & laundry area with walkout basement to allow for some separate areas for families. Everything you need for the pool, the beach and other family fun is already at the house! Great location with quaint little town & beach and dunes close. Mary was very responsive to questions & accommodating. Highly recommend this stay.
