We were only there for two nights but the house is very cozy and comfortable. Bathroom is a bit small but worked fine. Nice added touches like beach towels were provided. We didn't have the opportunity to walk to the beach but looked pretty close. Overall, great stay!

I had a wonderful stay at this great old place. Even though I'm a solo traveler, I still crave some elbow room and it was fun to have my own house. Walkable or drivable to Warren Dunes State Park (I did both). Communication with Will was flawless. House had all the necessities including a generous amount of towels Thank You! I hope to return some day.

Great place near the Lake!

We enjoyed our stay in this cute cabin! The back yard and fire pit were really nice and the proximity to the state park and downtown Sawyer was perfect. Would highly recommend this place for families or groups of friends.
