Loved the house. Location was ideal for our day trips to Round Barn, Three Oaks and Stevensville. The house was very clean and comfortable. We loved the unique art throughout! Also, great screened in porch and outdoor area. WiFi was a bit slow/spotty.

The house is cozy and charming, and the kids loved the eclectic artwork and decorations throughout. I think their favorite part was the owners cats coming up on the kitchen deck to say hi. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and in close proximity to multiple beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here

Now for something completely different.

This property is filled with eclectic pieces of art. Photos, pictures, statues, mirrors, and a feather-as-art. It's fun to check it all out, and certainly is something to talk about. There is plenty of room to spread out or have casual conversations. The kitchen is easy to work in and pretty well stocked with appliances. Our stay for an anniversary weekend was quiet, enjoyable and relaxing.

Thanksgiving stay

We enjoyed our stay in Sawyer while celebrating Thanksgiving with family at a home nearby. The house is warm and inviting, and decorated with much care and thought. We didn't eat meals there but the kitchen is well equipped and everything is clean and orderly. The king bed is very comfortable and we slept very well, its quiet and peaceful. We would definitely visit again!

Sawyer Gem

We had a lovely weekend in Sawyer thanks to our stay at Here and Now. Check in was an easy process and we were greeted with a fantastic house. It was just what we needed for an Easter Weekend visit with our son and his girlfriend. The location was perfect for exploring the lake front, breweries, and wineries. It was also close to a church for Easter Sunday mass. The house itself was very tastefully decorated and had more than enough room for the four of us. This was our first visit to Michigan and if we are ever in the area again (or if I know someone who is visiting) I will definitely recommend this house.

Wonderful vacation house

This house is a lot of fun! It is artfully decorated- not a boring corner in this place! We had everything we could possibly need from kitchen utensils to books, games and beach equipment. Location was really wonderful as well, with a short walk/drive to the beach and a neat fish market next door, as well as many antique stores, farms and wineries nearby. There is a grill and a firepit available and we took advantage of both. We would love to return!

Great Stay in Sawyer!

We loved our long weekend in Sawyer, mostly because of this amazing house. The house itself is beautiful, full of cozy spaces and thoughtful touches. We enjoyed sitting on the porch each morning. The house is in a great location - within walking distance to the dunes, and close to many other attractions. The hosts were friendly and quick to respond. We would absolutely stay here again!

Comfortable Home & Great Location!

We enjoyed our fall weekend in Michigan at Lisa's home. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and plenty of space for the whole family. The screened in porch was great to sit out when raining. Lisa was very quick to respond for any questions. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Nelson

Host profile image
We made the permanent move to Sawyer Mi 21 years ago from Chicago and have never regretted it. It is a nature haven. We love hiking and beaching and this area is perfect for that. As lovers of art and design we've been so happy in this area as theres a great art community in near by Three Oaks Mi. We own a couple local antiques stores/ galleries and feel so blessed to love what we do and were able to raise our children in such a great area.

Why they chose this property

My family had come to this area since the 1920s. It has always been the place we vacationed for summers our entire lives. We just love the beaches and tranquility. We grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and then lived in Chicago for years after we got married. We were visiting my parents up here and came across this house and fell in love. We bought it, left Chicago, and have never regretted it!

What makes this property unique

We just fell in love with this property. The house had great bones and a lot of character. We loved that it was so study with its plaster walls and the unique archways that lead into each room. We just added a huge screened in porch that is so amazing and gets the most beautiful afternoon sun! A wonderful place to sit and quietly read or take a nap on the daybed. Its so close to Warren Dunes State Park which is amazing whether we want to walk down the for a swim or go hiking through the miles of cleared paths. We love to cook and entertain and just renovated the kitchen and love to eat outside on the screened in porch. We hope you fall in love with it just like we did!
