About this property

Marylil is located just blocks from Lake Michigan, just south of the Warren Dunes. It is a beautiful ranch style 5 bedroom, 2 bath home in a private and wooded beach association. The following improvements were made: refinished hardwood floors, freshly painted, new trim, new hardware, new doors, and a new bathroom. A wonderful screened-in porch with a huge private fenced-in backyard to relax or use it as a great space for the kids to run around. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off all that sand from the beach. Make use of the outdoor gas grill for your family barbeques. Marylil is equipped with central air conditioning and has a washer and dryer. The bedrooms include one king bed, three with queen beds, and one bunk room – one twin over twin and another twin over full. There is a pack and play. The home is perfect for a large family, a few families to share, or a group of friends. If you find you need to be connected, there is wifi. Bring your devices as you can cast to the TV.

Very nice home that fit our family perfectly. Screened-in porch and big backyard were a big plus.

We had a wonderful time here. Beautiful beach that was an easy walk away. Nicely furnished large bedrooms, living area and screened-in porch were great for our family and big backyard was great for 4 grandkids. Very well equipped kitchen that was roomy enough for several cooks. Thanks for a wonderful week.

Memories Made Here!

This is the second year that we have rented Marylil for our family - with grown children and grandchildren. The home is lovely and very comfortable. Elizabeth has thought of every detail to make your stay perfect. The yard is great for young children - fenced in and with plenty of space to run and play. We enjoyed most evenings just sitting on the patio, chatting, cooking and playing. But the beach is always everyone's favorite! Shorewood has wonderful beaches and they are easy to access for everyone. Lots of memories are made in this wonderful location!

Perfect location for a family vacation!

Marylil is so well equipped for a large family! My children and grandchildren (11 of us) were all very comfortable in this spacious home! We loved the separate gathering spaces- living room, dining room, screened porch and basement playroom. The 5 bedrooms were all comfortable. The bunk beds and pack'n play made the children feel like they had their own special space. The well-equipped kitchen made it easy to eat in. The yard was large with a nice patio and outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach! We walked to the beautiful private beach each day and enjoyed the playground and tennis court that was also close by. Sawyer and the neighboring towns have so much to offer too. We loved the shops, restaurants, and breweries in the area. We hope to return again!

Perfect Michigan Getaway!

This review is overdue! We rented the home for my future sister-in-law's bachelorette party. The home is so cute and there was plenty of space for all of us. It is a great location for groups with a big back yard, close to the beach and in a quiet area. It is also a great place to stay if you want to tour the local wineries, which is what we did for the bachelorette party. We had so much fun during our stay, the house was perfect and I am sure I'll be back!

What makes this property unique

No matter what the season, Marylil and Sawyer have something to offer. During summer, spend the day on the beach with your feet in the sand, a warm breeze blowing, a good book, sounds of children playing, and your favorite beverage in your hand. As the day winds to an end, the different hues of orange and blue soar across Lake Michigan as the sun says its final farewell to the day. Then enjoy a bonfire on the beach ready to roast your marshmallow for the perfect s'more. Book a stay at Marylil in Sawyer. Our private beach is one of the most beautiful in Southwest Michigan. Besides the beach there are many other activities to enjoy. Bike through wine country, pick fresh blueberries, shoot a round of golf, have your own big year birding in Harbor Country, kayak on the Galien river. If shopping is more your style – there are plenty of boutiques and antique shops. There are a variety of restaurants nearby including Journeyman Distillery, Peasant's Pantry, and D'Agostino's are just a few. There are several microbreweries nearby including Sawyers own Greenbush Brewery. If stout or porters are your jam, Transient Artisan Ales in Bridgman is a must stop!

Prefer Fall, then grab your sweater and head out for a wondrous walk with all the hiking trails nearby. Watch the leaves with their beautiful color fall ever so delicately to the ground. The deer are quite sneaky and are fun to watch. Go for a walk along the beach and come home to a fire inside or a bonfire in the backyard. In winter a quiet calm has come to Sawyer – enjoy the snow and frozen Lake Michigan. Take some time to yourself, some quality family time, or a great friends getaway to Marylil. There is a gas burning fireplace to keep you warm inside with a large window to view the serene winter landscape.
