Absolutely fantastic stay. My MIL was over the moon. Beautiful, close to beach and hikes, and every amenity we might conceivably want. Just a wonderful stay. Great communication and very flexible when snow changed our plans a bit.

Great spot close to the beach in a beautiful wooded area

I love this area of Lake Michigan and this house had a great balance of being close to the beach but also to restaurants and the garden center/amazing grocery store in Sawyer. House had everything we needed.

Great location!

We really enjoyed our trip and the property was in a great location. It was in close proximity to Warren Dunes State Park and other fun activities for the kids. The private beach access was a short walk down the road and we had the beach to mostly ourselves for the week. It was one of our favorite family vacations!

This cottage had everything we needed for our stay. The beach is beautiful, and very private. However, it is not an easy trek on the stairs to get to the beach. Young people can handle it with no problem. This is a great location with lots of good restaurants and brew pubs. Make sure to visit the market and garden center in Sawyer. Also check out Luisa's Swedish Bakery and Market for wonderful pastries, breads and quiche.

Nice place in the woods

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. It was a great place for us to access local beaches and shopping. The walkable beach was a little far, but it was very nice. The house was very comfortable, a bit rustic, but nice. The only downsides were that the Air conditioners were a bit loud and the mosquitoes were bad since it is in the wooded area, but it is well stocked and very comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely.

Cozy Cabin

Clean and well-supplied on both consumables and everyday items. The air-conditioning units worked well and each unit had it’s own control. The double bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was nicely updated.

Lake Michigan

Older home with 3 nice bedrooms. Small kitchen but open to dining and living areas. Master bedroom spacious but folding door to half master bath did not close completely limiting privacy. Window was over sink and mirror placed on wall between toilet and sink was a little odd. Nice beach within walking distance.

Wonderful secluded location

The house was great for our family of six. We have kids ranging from 2 to 11 and they loved the feeling of being tucked away and near the beach. The house has plenty of beds and space. The private beach was nice, but we mainly visited the nearby public beaches because the walk to the private beach was too much with little kids and all our beach gear. The closest public beach is less than a 2 minute drive, and others are only 5-10, so not a problem. The host is very responsive and helpful. All in all, a great stay!

A peaceful and comfortable family getaway cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful cottage. Easy breezy check in and out process. The house was clean, furniture were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Kitchen was very well equipped. Appliances are new. It had all essential cooking, baking staples, fresh coffee and tea. There is a wonderful library in the cottage, which makes me want to go back during fall or spring and read all the novels in the wonderful room, surrounded by big windows and a skylight, taking in all the green of the woods. The private beach is a 5 minute walk away from the house and is really nice. There are many family-friendly places to visit nearby. We mostly enjoyed the beach and the woods, and only visited Warren Dunes the last day. Owner, Martha, is very responsive and caring. She had a kettle shipped over as soon as we asked her and we received it during our stay.

Nearby beautiful lake view

This property worked well for our ladies weekend. It is an older home which needs some upkeep but was overall clean. Beds were good- most furniture was wicker. No items like soap, personal products or bottled water provided so will need to bring. The absolute best thing was the access to private beach and lake view- gorgeous.

Great cottage

We had such a good stay here with adults and little ones. The cottage is well stocked with just about everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the place is charming. There are so many other things close by as well - we ate out and went to Warren dunes. The bakery is fantastic and we loved the neighboring towns.

Quiet weekend at the lake

Clean quiet and a short walk to the lake. Nice sandy beach. Clean water. Great area for swimming and relaxing. Would be nice to have tv or a DVD player for the rainy days, tv has no entertaining channels
