The house was very clean, and well organized. The host was accessible and responded to any messages/questions in a timely manner. We truly enjoyed the screened in deck area. It was great for family meals and games, or just hanging out with your morning coffee. Great location, within walking distance to the Warren Dunes State Park entrance. There is also a trail at the end of the road that takes you to the beach. Great for morning, evening walks, or watching the sunset. The property is also close to restaurants and shopping in the area.

Our family of 4 found this to be the perfect getaway spot for Memorial Day. Quiet street, 1 min from Warren Dunes and a short drive to New Buffalo or Bridgman for shopping, dining and all the other favorite spots. The house and yard are cozy and well appointed. We LOVED the screen porch and the “egg chairs” as the kids called them. Easy communication with the owners. Can’t beat Harbor Country if you are looking to slow down, relax and enjoy nature, and this property was the icing on the cake!

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

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!
