Excellent!

Fabulous views - great beach
The house was not fancy - but comfortable enough. The property does, however, have fantastic views overlooking a private beach. Spent hours on the deck. Also, we like to hike and were able to walk right into the Warren Dunes park with its trails and Old Baldy to climb.
The town of Sawyer has good restaurants - Luisa's (fabulous bakery too), Café Gulistan (we are now sold on Turkish food), and Green Bush brewery - all within a short drive. The wineries are also close and a great way to spend a couple of hours when not on the beach.
Overall very pleased with our mini-vacation. Owners John and Becca are very nice people.

This house is sited on a unique spot with everything needed for a great stay. The view is amazing.
We've stayed at Beachcliff, as it's called, about 6 times, gathering our family there from
Texas and Arizona and South Bend. They love coming home for this. The beach is beautiful and the house is spacious with lots of windows. It's a special place and we always feel our week goes by too fast. Lots to do in the areas around Sawyer. Casinos, Galleries, resturants and trains to Chicago nearby.
We LOVED this place!
This house was perfect for our family trip! There were 7 of us (four adults and three children) and the house could have easily hosted more. There was plenty of space for eating, playing and hanging out.
This house felt like home as soon as we arrived. The kids LOVED the bunk beds and treasure chest of games, us adults couldn't have asked for anything else. Fully stocked home!
And the beach. THE BEACH!!! "Amazing" can't even begin to describe it. The view, the sand, the weather, the community, this amazing home(!)...we loved every second of it. THANK YOU!
Great weekend getaway!
We stayed at this lovely cottage last weekend for a little weekend getaway and it was perfect! We have a 18month old son so I was anxious about how close beach would be, how kid-friendly everything would be and honestly everything was great. We would obviously carry him back and forth to the beach, bc of the hill, but it was within walking distance and and the beach was clean and safe, it was so great just walking back to the cottage and putting him down for naps. They even had beach chairs so we didn't have to bring/buy any. We went to the local grocery store and cooked dinners at the cottage each night and my son loved running around the cottage. Also the beach was a private beach so it's not super-cramped and crowded! I would highly recommend staying here! Owners were easy to contact & a pleasure talking to.
Lovely lake house
The property is perfect for a beach vacation - laid back, no stress, relaxing. We felt at home immediately, and have returned year after year. Best location!
Perfect beach retreat!
My husband, three children, and I just spend the most relaxing week enjoying the spectacular views, the wide beach, and the beautiful water. Each evening we sat on the deck surrounded by flower planters and watched the sunset together. The cottage is comfortable and airy; a great place to relax (but you can stay connected – there is high-speed Wi-Fi). Conveniently located within a few minutes – bakery, butcher, Warren Dunes with a kid-magnet waterslide. This is our third year renting this cottage and we will be renting here again in August. We cannot wait to return! We have recommended it to several of our friends.
