Cute dog friendly home

Clean, cozy, fully stocked & good location property. Dogs enjoyed the private fenced in backyard. Plenty of linens & essentials for our stay. Conveniently located to the highway, close to the Warren Dunes state park. Short drive to New Buffalo & Three Oaks. Plenty of places to eat in surrounding towns. Hot tub was clean & enjoyed many fires outback. Would recommend for a nice weekend getaway!

Well-quipped but not a great location

The owners thought of everything here. The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessities for cooking. The house is small but comfortable. I did not like the futons instead of beds, but we made it work. I did not like the location. You have to drive everywhere. I thought with kayaks and bikes that we would be able to walk/ride bikes. You have to transport the kayaks to use them. The dunes were wonderful, keeping in mind that parking is an additional $11.00 per day.

We loved it so much we made it a tradition

This was our second stay at the Cove, we fell in love with the area along the Red Arrow Highway and this wonderful dog friendly house. It is a perfect getaway whether you are looking to relax and unwind or take on the beaches, the host (Corey) has thought of everything you need for a perfect stay and if you need to contact him he is very responsive. We love to travel with our dogs and a fenced in backyard makes our stay so much easier and this backyard is like having a secret garden all to yourself. We can’t wait to book for next year!

Sweet place to stay

The house was super clean, especially given the fact that dogs are allowed! My husband and I, our two young children, and our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed the property! It was a super quick drive to the beach and the owners graciously provided beach toys to bring. It was the best supplied place I’ve ever stayed in- by far.

A fun trip to Sawyer

This is a great house! Our dogs loved the beautiful fenced in yard, and the humans loved the abundance of games, cookware, and beach supplies. It's an easy drive to the beach, the town, and the awesome farm stand. We brought our baby and found the house easy to childproof and there was a high chair we could use. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Weekend

The house was better than the description. There was plenty of room for the nine of us. We enjoyed cooking, playing games, and exploring the area. The dogs enjoyed exploring the backyard and taking walks to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Communication with the property manager was great. Our family has been coming to Harbour Country for a family weekend each fall for the past few years and I would say this was the best place we stayed

Great space!

This is our second time staying here. The house is very comfortable and cute with a nice quiet backyard for our dogs. It was nice that it is fenced in for our pups. Great location, in the center of all the other little towns. Can go 10 miles in any direction to all the breweries, shops, and small towns. So close to the beach and we took a couple walks. The property manager was great! He was great at communicating and letting us know when we could check in. We lost power a few hours after we arrived due to some storms that day but he kept us informed about when the power would be back on. Great house to stay in!

Enjoyed our Stay

The home is much nicer than the pictures display! Yes, it is a bit dated in areas but being able to bring the family dog makes it worth it. They truly have everything you need in the kitchen. We always bring foil, sandwich bags, etc. etc. and there was no need - many thanks to the owners. The dog treats, toys, and bowls for food/water were kind and much appreciated by the dog. Also, very close to the Dunes and beach if that’s what you’re planning while on your stay. Thanks again for allowing us to share your home - next time we’re in the area, we’ll look you up!

Great Weekend Away

We stayed here for a nice long weekend with some of our friends. Plenty of room for our group of 4 to chill on the porch or watch some TV when we weren't out exploring the array of breweries and wineries nearby. Everything we wanted to see was within a 20 minute drive so the location was excellent! Beds were comfortable, plenty of linens and towels. Highly recommend!

Back Again!

This was our second year in a row at this private, secluded spot near Warren Dunes. Corey is very responsive and generous with check-in and -out times. The property is clean and has everything listed and then some. Bountiful touches and amenities add to the attraction of the rental. It's great for dogs......and people! I'm sure we'll be back for a third time if we return to this area.

About the host

Hosted by Corey Stern

Dawn & Corey Stern
We are two professional working parents from the Chicagoland area who enjoy some R&R in Michigan on the weekends.
We like to spend time at the beach with our two son's and our puppy Layla.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it is a very secluded, wooded property, only 90 minutes from home, but we feel a world away. The proximity to Warren Dunes and Weko Beach, where they have dog friendly beach for our fury baby is amazing. And it is right in the middle of New Buffalo and St. Joes.

What makes this property unique

Less than 90 minutes from Chicago
Walk to Warren Dunes, where they have dog friendly beach! And minutes to Weko Beach with public boat launch!
Wooded, secluded feel with fenced in back yard for dogs.
Right in the middle of New Buffalo and St. Joes., and minutes to Greenbush Brewery and many wonderful restaurants.
