About the host
Hosted by Desiree Denoyer
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!
