Adorable home with all you need.
My family's stay at the Pine Garden Cottage was perfect. The owners had great communication and are very thoughtful. We had everything we needed. I cooked quite a few meals and my husband grilled as well. We loved all the ceiling fans in every room. Their home is very clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

Great cottage
This is our 3rd summer staying at Pine Garden and we love it. The thoughtfulness of the hosts is always glimmeringly apparent as they supply many extra amenities that a traveler may forget when when staying at the beach. We also love the back yard and the kids cave as we call it - perfect for our boys.

Wonderful stay
The photos don't do this property justice. It is beyond cute and the way the space is designed is terrific. We had two families come together, four adultos and three children and a dog! Everyone had a bed and slept great! The Hosts we're beyond thoughtful anticipating everything that we might need during our stay. We didn't need anything while we were there.

Fantastic Stay at Pine Garden Cottage
Cindy’s communications were wonderful. She has thought of everything you could possibly need in her cottage. She’s very pleasant to work with and prompt to reply. Every detail of the property was as listed. It was extremely clean , very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was equipped with everything you’d need for meal preparation. We did a full Thanksgiving meal here. Dogs are welcomed with proper approval and the entire backyard is fenced to accommodate that. The neighborhood is wooded and cozy. And the cottage is very closed to Warren Dunes State Park for long walks on the beach.

Family getaway with pet
My husband and I stayed at this cottage for a week with our adult children and our dog. The house & property was well maintained and clean. The back yard was quiet and relaxing with lots of seating, tables and decorative lighting. The fenced yard was great for our dog. The house is 1.3 miles from Warren Dunes State Park. There are nice lakefront beaches here with restrooms, food trucks and lots of parking. The north end is dog friendly. The house is close to many dining options, farmers markets and wineries. It’s a quaint smaller area. We enjoyed the location. The owners were great! Very responsive to our inquiries. I would stay here again for a Lake Michigan getaway.

My husband and I decided on a little piece of Heaven right here on earth in Sawyer, Michigan. And then, we decided to share it with others......
We enjoy our adult children and grandchildren and LOVE to travel the World....
We know you'll enjoy our little piece of Heaven, Pine Garden Cottage.
Best Travel Wishes,

Why they chose this property

We saw the potential in this property to turn it into our dream! And we did just that! This adorable and beautifully remodeled cottage is now everything we wanted in a home away from home in Harbor Country Michigan. It's a wonderful cottage in a great area. We sure enjoy everything about Pine Garden Cottage!

What makes this property unique

Pine Garden Cottage is an adorable cottage at the end of a serene pine tree lined road, surrounded by nature, close enough to everything you could possibly need or want to do with all that Harbor Country has to offer. Yet, it is far enough away to enjoy all the peace, quiet and solitude of the breathtakingly beautiful surrounding area of this Cottage. It is our little bit of Heaven right here on earth...... Once you're here, you'll find it to be yours too and you will want to come back again and again!
