Lovely Warren Dune Trip
We had a great stay at Martha and Bob’s cottage. This was a perfect place to stay to walk to the Dunes and the beach. There were a lot of nice options around Sawyer for local dining, and great suggestions for places to go from our hosts. We ended up walking to the Historian for a dinner one night which was great. We also took advantage of the grill at the house one evening, and made a bonfire in the fire pit. It was all around a lovely place with lovely people and we would definitely stay again.

A little piece of heaven
This was my first opportunity to experience the Lake Michigan area. Actually my first time to Michigan and it did not disappoint. Bob and Martha were very kind and communicated with me as soon as I booked their cute little cottage. It was close to many nice little places, some of which was closed due to the off season. We really just wanted a weekend to relax and go see the beach a few minutes away and it was exactly what we needed. The cottage was cute and clean and the walking trails were very relaxing as well. You will be thinking of your next trip back here just as we are. Thank you again!!

Amazing Experience
Family is familiar with SW Michigan and have stayed all up and down the coast. Sawyer is probably our favorite town and the Gandy Lane cottage was perfect. Amazing property, remote feel, great amenities, helpful owners and biking distance to the beach! Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home
This home was perfect. Bob and Martha were very welcoming and accommodating during our stay. There was acres of land to discover, explore and adventure in. We had a great time!
