Thoughtfully Designed. Beautifully Curated.

Originally built as a historic Featherbone Factory supervisor's cottage, The Oaks has been completely reimagined by a local interior designer while preserving the character that makes this home so special.

Every room has been intentionally curated with designer furnishings, warm textures, luxurious bedding, and modern conveniences to create a home that feels both elevated and welcoming.

This isn't simply a place to stay—it's a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories.

Boutique Hotel Comfort with the Warmth of Home

After a day at the beach, touring wineries, shopping downtown, or cheering on the Fighting Irish, come home to your own private retreat.

Light the cozy electric fireplace, pour a glass of local wine, settle into one of two inviting living rooms, stream your favorite movie, or simply enjoy a quiet evening together.

Guests often tell us it's their favorite place to unwind after a full day exploring Harbor Country.

Sleep Exceptionally Well

• Hotel-quality mattresses
• Luxury linens
• Premium pillows
• USB charging stations

A Kitchen That Brings Everyone Together

Whether you're preparing a holiday dinner, brunch before the beach, or appetizers before walking downtown, our oversized kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need.

Enjoy stainless steel appliances, filtered ice and water, dishwasher, microwave, mixer, crockpot, bakeware, cookware, spices, plenty of wine glasses, and our complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate bar—one of our guests' favorite amenities.

Your Private Backyard Oasis

One of the features guests rave about most is our enormous private fenced backyard.

Grill dinner on the back deck, gather beneath twinkle lights, roast s'mores around the fire pit, enjoy cocktails under the stars, or challenge family and friends to cornhole, horseshoes, croquet, soccer, or football.

It's the perfect place for kids to play, adults to relax, and everyone to enjoy Southwest Michigan's spectacular sunsets.

Five-Star Hospitality You Can Feel

What truly sets The Oaks apart isn't just the designer interiors or unbeatable location - it's the experience.

Whether it's recommendations for the best wineries, dinner reservations, local beaches, Notre Dame game day tips, or celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or wedding weekend, we're always happy to help make your stay extra special.

Our greatest compliment is the number of guests who return year after year - and recommend The Oaks to family and friends.

We hope you'll experience for yourself why so many travelers consider The Oaks one of the premier vacation rentals in Three Oaks, Harbor Country, and Southwest Michigan.

About the host

Host profile image
Some places are simply where you stay.
Others become part of your memories.

Welcome to The Oaks - a thoughtfully restored and curated boutique cottage in the heart of Three Oaks, Michigan, where timeless design, collected stories, and genuine hospitality come together to create something truly special.

For years, Harbor Country was our escape and "happy place". Where life slowed down and we unplugged and reconnected.

Summers were filled with beach days, farmers markets, ice cream cones at Oinks, evenings around a fire, incredible sunsets, and discovering the hidden treasures that make this little village and all of Harbor Country unforgettable.

When we found this cottage, we didn't simply renovate it.
We recreated the feeling we had fallen in love with. We wanted to build a "special place" that called others back every summer.
Not just a beautiful house (but of course that is important too).

But a place where people could slow down.
Reconnect.
Laugh.
Rest.
Make memories.
And hopefully leave feeling just a little reluctant to go home.

We can't wait to host you and have you experience our dream come true!

Why they chose this property

We LOVE the charming, historic village of Three Oaks and are proud to offer our home so others can experience this quaint Hallmark like haven!

What makes this property unique

An original worker cottage built for the Featherbone Factory supervisor! The sidewalk in the backyard ends where the outhouse once was! We are only the second people to own the home… the original owners birthed their two daughters here!
