We enjoyed the hot tub nightly and the many available games (especially badminton and scategories). The bedrooms fit the six of us well and location was great for a quick visit to ND and hanging out at the dunes. For seating with the tv we were one spot short the rainy evening we watched a movie.

Great stay (repeat guest!). Comfortable home, dog friendly. Great set up for lounging in the backyard around the firepit, playing games on the screened in porch, and hanging on the front porch with a book and/or drink. Easy walk to the beach to watch the sunset, and great location for visiting all the area has to offer.

This is the perfect family and dog friendly home. We loved the large fenced back yard with lush plants, trees, and a hot tub. It is idealy located on a quiet street close to the Warren Dunes and downtown Sawyer. Every room is comfortably furnished and outfitted with thoughtful touches. Clean, uncluttered, and easy to live in.

Quiet cottage with spacious backyard

Our family of four and fur baby decided to book a last minute trip to the New Buffalo areas, and this place had everything we needed! The house was clean, organized, and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook or even head to the beach. The outdoor area was nice and quiet for our family to relax and our little dog to run around and explore. We will definitely keep this place in mind for next time!

Very nice house! It’s at the dead end of a road and you’re surrounded by nature. It’s very peaceful and cozy. This host goes above and beyond with everything provided for your stay. Our fur baby absolutely loved the fenced in backyard and the extremely dog friendly home! We would highly recommend for your stay and especially for your fur baby. We would stay again!

We loved the comfort of the home. kitchen/dining area was a great layout for cooking or hanging out. (Exceptionally well stocked kitchen). Screened-in porch views beautiful shaded private lot w stone inlaid firepit, grassy areas and the amazing jacuzzi. Our group of 3 adults appreciated 3 separate bedrooms. (1 bdrm was better suited for children). 2 full baths was a pleasant perk. The dryer kept our beachtowels and swim suits ready for the next trip to beach. Will happily return to this Ideal place.

Doesn't disappoint

If you have a dog, this is the perfect house. Well maintained property with a fully fenced large well manicured yard. Location is close to enough things but also far enough away to feel secluded. Would go back in a heartbeat.

House was very clean! Had everything you needed: hair dryer, towels for house and beach, washer & dryer, pots and pans, sweeper, air fryer, ect. Also had a fire pit & fire starters as well as wood already pre-cut with skewers for s’mores/hot dogs.We brought our German shepherd with us, and he loved the fenced in back yard. Owners have really thought of everything! & Very close to Warren Dunes!The only thing that I did not like was that the sheets were a little small for the bed and were coming off the corners. Parking was a little tight for a crew cab truck as well. But overall, very happy with this place!

Impressed! The home is so cute and cozy. The host has thought of everything to make your stay so enjoyable. We were a group of 5 ladies in a girls trip, we felt very comfortable and safe. For anyone with kids thinking of staying here, do it! Your kids will never be bored. Every game you can think of is provided, beach equipment and bikes are also available. If you are taking your furbaby, dishes , toys and a fenced in backyard are there. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need. Just bring your clothes and food and you will have a fabulous time. The hot tub is also very nice and relaxing. The host is easy to work with and communicates well. I highly recommend this home for everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Corey Stern

Host profile image
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.
