The Space:

Escape to this spacious Sawyer retreat just minutes from Lake Michigan and the stunning Warren Dunes State Park. Tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting, this welcoming home is perfect for large families or groups looking to relax, recharge, and explore all that Southwest Michigan has to offer. With over 2,500 square feet of living space, a heated outdoor pool (open May through mid-September), and a fully fenced yard with three decks, a fire pit, and a natural gas grill, it‚'s a private oasis ready for year-round fun. Dogs are welcome to join the adventure. Inside, unwind in the bright and open great room, cook meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and gather around the dining area for family meals or game night. The lower level offers even more room to spread out, featuring a cozy family room with a large-screen TV, PlayStation 4, full-size arcade game, and board games.

My only compaint is with the booking process. There was a lot of confusion around adding our pups and extra fees not addressed in the actual listing. I had to deal with both Vrbo AND the management company, which were less than helpful. The actual stay (with our pups) was great! Location was perfect. The house was comfortable and clean and th pool and yard were amazing. I would definitely stay again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful, pet-friendly VRBO for a family vacation weekend! We loved everything about the house and property and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.The fenced-in backyard was perfect for our three dogs, and they loved having the space to run and enjoy themselves. The huge basement and spacious bedrooms were also such a great bonus and gave everyone plenty of room to spread out and relax.We took full advantage of the pool and grill all weekend, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was comfortable, clean, and perfect for a relaxing family getaway. We truly had zero complaints!The location was fantastic as well—close to the beach and so many other great spots in Sawyer, MI. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and pet-friendly getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

In general our family had a great stay at Red Arrow Lodge! The home was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped for our group. We spent tons of time enjoying the pool, yard, basketball hoop, and fire pit, and my family is asking when we can go back.The only minor bump was customer service response times— text inquiries about the property were always answered late at night making me assume the support is off-shore and there was no follow-through from the local team even when it was suggested there would be. The house itself is wonderful, the location is great, and the amenities made for a very memorable trip. As long you don't need any support while you are there, you should have a great time.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We're delighted your family made such good use of the pool, yard, basketball hoop, and fire pit, and that everyone is already asking about a return trip. We're sorry that the response times fell short during your stay. Timely, local support is the standard we hold ourselves to, and the delays you describe don't reflect that. We've shared your notes about the late replies and the missing follow-through with the team to look into. We're so glad the home, location, and amenities made for a memorable trip, and we'd love to welcome your family back whenever you're ready. The VueStay Team

We had a great time at this property! Super pet friendly! We had dogs with us and everything was in place and ready for dogs to not get into mischief. Best dog-house we have ever stayed in!!!! Really great family house too. The kids were in the pool all the time. Adults too. We used the fire pit one night and it was wonderful. Had enough comfort that we all slept well and the layout suited us for different sleeping schedules. Washer and dryer were helpful, and we used the utility sink to wash one of the dogs.The big kitchen became a center for us to gather. The house was spotless and clean for a dog friendly home. We bumped into each other in the kitchen a bit. “Too many cooks in the kitchen.” The water was great in the house. The proximity to the Warren Dunes SP was amazing. We were pleasantly surprised about the awesome dog beach. We even took Grandma with us. (A true test of patients and resilience.)Time flew too quickly, and all 10 of us really enjoyed everything the stay had to offer. I couldn’t figure out where to find the clean-up/leave directions other than taking the trash out, cleaning up doggie doo, and making sure the house was closed up. I hope others enjoy their stay as much as we did!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled that your whole crew of ten had such an amazing time, and we're so glad the house proved to be the perfect dog-friendly retreat. It sounds like the pool, fire pit, and that spacious kitchen created all the right spaces for everyone to enjoy together, and we love that you discovered the awesome dog beach near Warren Dunes. The utility sink for washing up one of the pups is such a handy touch for a pet-friendly stay! We really appreciate you sharing the note about the checkout instructions. We want to make sure those directions are crystal clear for every guest, and we've passed your feedback along to the team. We'd absolutely love to welcome your whole family and furry friends back anytime. Come see us again soon! The VueStay Team

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Communication was incredible weeks before check-in. Questions answered quickly. The house itself was perfect. So much space for all of us. My grown children loved the space downstairs, kitchen was well-equipped, and the beds were perfect to accommodate adults (no bunk beds). However, the property advertises a heated pool, which is the MAIN reason I rented the property so my grandchildren could enjoy night swimming, or swimming in cooler temperatures. Upon check in, I notified the owner the pool was not heated, and was told I had to request that prior to check in AND pay a per day fee for the pool to be heated. That is listed NOWHERE that I could find in the advertisement or agreement (it even says "No hidden fees.") The fact that the pool is heated is a prominent part of the advertisement so the fact that it was not true was extremely disappointing. The fridge also was not cold. I notified the owner and never heard back. This was disappointing given I had babies who needed milk. The house had not been cleaned. We removed a cover on the outside furniture to use it, and there was a dirty diaper under it. The grill was disgusting. The bed downstairs had so much sand in the sheets, we couldn't use it. There were also "fake fingernails" found in the bed sheets. Space was great, cleanliness, owner response to issues, and false advertising was disappointing.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 11, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We're genuinely sorry that your stay fell short in several ways. The heated pool is prominently featured in our listing, and it should have been clear upfront what's required to activate it and what the cost is. That's on us. We're also sorry the fridge wasn't cold when you arrived, the house wasn't ready for your family, and that you encountered cleanliness issues like sand in the bedding. These problems don't meet the standard we hold, and we've shared your detailed feedback with our housekeeping, maintenance, and local management teams so they can review what happened and how we improve. We truly appreciate you letting us know, and we're sorry your vacation with your grandchildren wasn't the experience you deserved.
