Welcome to "Sweet Sara's". This home is one of 8 houses in a secluded Lake Michigan beach bluff neighborhood. Sweet Sara's is a new country home where no attention to detail has been spared -- a true 5 star accommodation. It's a perfect getaway from the city or a great meeting place for a girls' weekend away!
Walk the singing sands of Lake Michigan beach, watch the ever-changing sunsets from the bluff, celebrate the spectacular colors of autumn or sip hot cocoa in front of the fireplace on a snowy day. Whatever the season, the experience is always inspiring and delightful.
Take a short drive on scenic highway M-63, hugging the Lake Michigan shoreline, north to South Haven or south to St. Joseph and find good food, live music/theater, unique shops, museums and art galleries. Each town has its own lighthouse and boat-filled harbors, featuring individual charm and unique attractions -- an experience you will not soon forget!
