About this property

Charming Cottage with Fire Pit Near Warren Dunes State Park

Welcome to Breezy Knoll Cottage!

Come with family or a few friends to stay at our attractive cottage nestled the woods at the end of a private road. You'll love waking up and walking or biking to nearby Warren Dunes State Park. Spend some time at Captain Mike's Fun Park with the kids, or go shopping in one of the unique local antique shops. There are amazing u-pick farms to visit nearby if you wish to sample local blueberries, peaches, apples, and more.

It is not unusual to see a mother deer with her baby walking across the front lawn early in the morning. There are also countless squirrels, rabbits, and birds. We have even seen dozens of wild turkeys strolling across the property in a big group.

You can end your days by roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire pit or watching the sunset at the beach. You'll be glad you chose to stay with us! Please contact me for additional information.

Conveniently located near I-94.

Fantastic Cottage Near the Dunes

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Perfect location for hanging at the dunes, beaches, and exploring the area. Highly recommended.

New Year’s Family Day

This is the cutest lil house, located super close to Lake Michigan. We had our doggo with us and this was perfect for him. House is back in the woods , on about a cleared half acre with plenty of room for us to walk him. The house itself is older but well maintained and clean with awesome amenities including the best bed we’ve ever slept on at a VRBO. Clean bamboo sheets just like home. Lots of kitchen utensils and plenty of linens. Washer and dryer. Truly loved it here and would definitely recommend. So homey. And very reasonably priced. Thank you for renting to us an obviously well loved cottage.

Perfect for a family getaway!

Our family had a great time at this cottage. The location was great (super close to the dunes and a fun local produced market) and the house was clean, cozy and woodsy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the grill, campfire pit, and the fun extras (ping pong table and swing). Everyone- from the kid to the teens to the adults- had fun on the swing and playing ping pong! The washer and dryer were a great plus too. We highly recommend this cottage!

Long Weekend Getaway

This property was perfect for meeting up with friends for a long liesurely weekend of cooking out, playing card games, walking through Warren Dunes State Park, and playing with our dog on the beach. The house was a clean turnkey rental with a fully stocked kitchen of cookware and dishes. We enjoyed the local meat market and produce stands. The house is surrouned by woods with a fabulous patio to cookout and relax with friends. We would definitely rent this property again.

Nice older cottage

This is a great setting with huge trees. Very close to Warren Dunes. Rustic cottage with sparse decoration. Two things I would add: a hook on the door of the small bathroom. And a luggage rack or small table in the bedroom. I had to put everything on the floor. Everything worked just fine. It was a good stay.

Nice little cottage

We stayed here 7 years ago with our two previous dogs so decided our dogs now needed the joy of going also. Love it that we can take our dogs with us. Our host Sara assured us our dogs were welcomed even though they were a wee bit above the 50 pounds. This cottage is located within 2 minutes of Warren Dunes State Park so easy to hit the trails for walks. We did take rugs to put down for the dogs-we remembered from our time before. Just a great trip and the pups loved it.

A wonderful getaway!

This was our first VRBO experience and it exceeded all expectations! The cottage was meticulously clean; plenty of towels for our family; the hosts were very communicative whenever we had questions; it was just a quick drive to the beach: and I could go on and on. We loved it!

Amazing experience

The cabin was super easy to check into, close enough to I 94 and easy to find. It’s close to Warren Dunes state park, some other attractions and good food. Sara is an amazing host and super helpful. The place was super clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower has amazing pressure. Great place. Would recommend and stay again if I’m in the area.

Our stay at Breezy Knolls Cottage

Beautiful little cottage, just as described. Was very clean, nice yard, even had a couple of white tailed visitors. Had everything we needed for great girls weekend. Owners were very easy to work with and would recommend this cute place to anyone. Hope to go back some day. Almost directly accross the street from Warren Dunes. Meijer just up the road for all your grocery needs.

Sawyer, MI cabin in the woods near Warren Dunes SP

Perfect place for my family of 5 and furbaby! Tucked away in the woods, quiet and private, great fire pit, amenities were great and owners very responsive to our very minor issues we had during our stay. Two minutes from Warren Dunes State Park and about 35 minutes from Indiana Dunes National Park, would recommend to families with pups! Thanks to Chad for coming over immediately when issues arose.
