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.

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.

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!

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!

Best weekend with our dogs!

Great place to stay with your fur babies or friends! Far enough away from everything to have some peace and quiet, but close enough to have a variety of things to do! The house was very well kept, and the owners were very communicative! Helped us with the check in process and find the place. We will definitely be back!

Great 4th of July week

We had a great holiday week with our two teenagers and dog. The house is exactly as pictured. We liked the location because we could drive to multiple gorgeous beaches and all of the small towns in the area had great restaurants that allow dogs.The house itself was very clean and everything you could need was there. From coffee filters to paper towels to cleaning supplies and toiletries… So many homes you have to go right to the store as soon as you get there and we were able to wait until almost 24 hours after we got there to go to the store. The toaster didn’t work and the homeowner sent us another one the next day!I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a beach vacation with their family.

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.

Great girls trip

Such a cute house! All done in teal, grey and coral, perfect for a few girls and a spoiled dog. We spent a girls weekend and couldn't have asked for anything else. Check in was easy, the house is well stocked and the hot tub was just perfect. Wineries and the beach are all within a few minutes. We really appreciate being able to bring the dog, there is even treats, blankets and a basket of toys for them. The kids loved the bunk beds and there was so many games for them to choose from. It really is great place to spend a few days, 100% would stay again.

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!

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.

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.
