This was a perfect property for our first vacation away from home with our active, one-year-old dog. Lots of space in the shaded yard for her to play, and just a very short drive to the amazing, dog-friendly beach at Warren Dunes.

This is a very nice, quiet, cottage in Sawyer. It is a tranquil spot to relax and only ten minutes by car to nearby towns and beaches. The host was very responsive and helpful in addressing an appliance issue that came up. The stove broke and they replaced it within a day! Thank you!

Great place to stay! Very private and secluded. It was great that we could bring our dog on the trip as well. The cottage could definitely use some updating for esthetic, but it was very clean, and cozy. Our only complaint would be that the bed is very uncomfortable, but it could be because we are not used to a memory foam mattress. Would stay again if we are ever in the area!

We had our first family vacation with our 4 year old and dog in this cozy cottage. I absolutely love the cottage, windows with natural lighting and that it was tucked back in by itself surrounded by trees. Super close to Warren Dunes State Park. Silver Beach Park in St. Joesph is s short drive and has an awesome beachside playground for kiddos. Indiana Dinosaur Museum in South Bend was also a quick trip and loved by my kiddo as well. Thank you for sharing your home

This was the prefect get away for myself and my two teenagers and our dog. The property is spacious and so quiet, we loved the fire pit and the swing. We saw quite a few deer. The day we arrived it was raining so we took advantage of the loving ping table - so fun. It was super clean and had everything we needed. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The cabin definitely could have been cleaner. The space behind the bathroom door was dirty, as if the cleaners had forgotten to check there. It’s an old cabin in the woods with that “old cabin” smell, which I anticipated. Plenty of plates, glasses, silverware in the kitchen, but the cookware has seen better days. The bathtub was slow draining but we were able to unclog it (beached out, sandy kids and no time to wait on maintenance!). Towels were excellent, and the central AC worked great. Very private feel but super close to Warren Dunes park and Red Arrow Highway for adventures up and down the coast. Great location, but we would not stay here again.

Wonderful stay

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this cottage. The yard and swing were great, it had equipment in the kitchen so we could cook every day, the living and sleeping areas were comfortable. It was so very close to attractions; we went to the beach, the fun park, and more. We will likely be back for another vacation here.
