The house was extremely clean, comfortable and very well stocked. A very short drive to the state park and a big beautiful beach. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to visit again!

Quick communication, flexible host, dog friendly and 3 BR were a good fit & appreciated by our family. There are a few small items that could be updated over time (pillows, shower curtains) but overall a comfortable place to stay!

Cute cozy cottage! Loved how it was decorated! The host literally supplied anything you could ever need. Beds were very comfortable and the cottage was very clean. Super close to numerous beaches…Warren Dunes and Weko had dog friendly areas which were great since we had 2 dogs with us and we wanted them to experience the great Michigan beaches! So close to lots of great restaurants and shopping. Went into both St. Joes and New Buffalo which had lots to offer. Basically, a home away from home!

Positives: The inside of the house was great. The kitchen was well-stocked, which helped us make our dinners together all week. All the rooms were clean and pleasant. The extra chairs and firepit were very useful, and the ping pong table in the garage was fun to use. Communication with the host was quick and helpful. The house is a 5 min drive from the beach and there was lots to do nearby.Suggestions: In general, we’d recommend going over the grounds before guests come - weeding, mowing, etc. There were several wasp nests under the deck table, which wasn’t a big deal as we sprayed them, but it might be good to check before guests arrive. Asking guests to wash and dry the sheets/pillowcases before leaving was unusual, and it seems like people could just throw dirty bedding into the dryer (we did wash and dry them…).We would come back for sure. It was a great location and the house worked great.

Great property and checked all of our boxes. Stayed two weeks and explored all of SW Michigan. Right next to the lake and close to all the towns that you will want to check out in the area. Highly recommend Adam and Carla’s house!!!

Great place to stay!

This house was a great place to stay! We loved the location near downtown Sawyer and used our bikes to explore the bike route. The house was in good shape and clean! The owners were very quick to respond to questions and organized about check in and out procedures as well as expectations. The location is also great to be able to go to St. Joseph and New Buffalo.

We really enjoyed the space. We loved the decor and skylights in the living room. Kitchen is fully stocked and we loved the record player. Cons: Beds were a bit too firm for our liking and I found it odd that we had to have linens in the dryer before check out. It made the morning of check out a bit stressful because we had to be awake early enough to strip the linens, put them to wash AND then dry. Also, do not recommend if you have dander allergies as there is a lot of animal hair.

Great communication once we arrived and had questions. Super location with lots of great day trips to take from here, and it was surprisingly very quiet. We thought we'd hear traffic, but not the case at all. Nice big yard for the dog, plenty of parking and great vibes in the decor. :)

Family Dream Come True

Lovely, light filled and decorated in mid century modern style that was pleasing and comfortable for both the 4 young children and 4 adults getting together for a beach vacation. Nice well equipped kitchen and 2 upscale bathroom. All was very clean and orderly on arrival. Proximity to Warren Dunes beach was a big plus. Would love to stay here again.

Bright Comfortable Beachy Cottage

Light beachy cottage is in a great location, on a quiet dead end street. Large comfortable beds and all the thoughtful touches throughout. The only thing we might suggest to add is a small portable fan for the queen bedroom.

Snowy get away!

It was a lot of fun to get away. Had lots of snow falling which was absolutely beautiful and we even got to the lake and walked around the sand, which was of course covered with snow, and see the frozen waves in the distance. The house was warm and inviting and had everything we needed.

Fun Family Time

Great location, private, excellent communication/responsiveness, comfortable, welcoming, and attractive mix of cozy and modern. Loved having the big table to gather around and close access to the beach. Enjoyed the Sawyer Garden Center and the recommendation of Black Currant Bakehouse for our celebratory cake -- delicious! Thank you, Carla & Andrew!

A Perfect Getaway

This house was perfect for our family of six adults and three dogs. The inside has an open concept design and is very comfortable. We loved the privacy of a big backyard including a deck and a firepit. The owners provided detailed information about everything and a few welcome goodies.
