About this property

New for Summer 2024- 12 x 20 Pergola with outdoor fans and lighting to add even more appeal to the backyard oasis in summer.
One mile from the amazing Warren Dunes--this is a perfect ALL-SEASON getaway on just over an acre. Winters are aided by a huge fireplace inside and a large hot tub outside... Summers are dreamy with pool, outdoor shower, and pergola. And Fall/Spring visitors get the most out of the outdoor firepit!

With a whole house overhaul in 2020, the bright and open-concept kitchen is ready for a crowd and the custom square dining table easily seats 8-12. It's a perfect location for family getaways, weekends with friends, or even a holiday break.
Hang out back on the new and improved large patio (pics coming in Spring 2024), sit by the outdoor fire pit, enjoy an 8-person hot tub under the stars, or even float the day away in the 30' round pool. With 3 bedrooms, the house sleeps 8 on the main floor and, in the game room downstairs, you’ll find ping pong, a pool table, and a trundle for two additional sleepers.
The house is close to everything you love about Harbor Country and yet, away from the crowds. Run or bike to Warren Dunes, the Michigan Fruit Stand, or Greenbush Brewery, just about a mile down the road. Plan a vineyard or brewery tour... you can even use our bike trailer to tote gear, kids, or dogs! A perfect location for a golf getaway, biking trips, and close to all the best shops, bars, and restaurants of the area.
We provide needed linens, towels, and firewood. We've even got a pack n play if you need it for your visit. Extra sanitation measures are in place. Just pull up and enjoy.)

Three-day minimum in Fall/Winter/Spring and week-long minimums in Summer. (We’re dog-friendly, but not fenced and we have some restrictions regarding numbers and size so please inquire before booking if you have more than one dog.)

Something for everyone!

This was our second visit to this lovely home and it's still an amazing place to stay. There's plenty of room to spread out…one group could be cooking in the GIANT kitchen, another playing pool/ping pong in the basement, or relaxing in the hot tub. The more outdoorsy folks could make s'mores around the fire pit. The jumbo dining room table was more than enough space for me to work and my friends to have lunch. I'm honestly not sure how anyone could come up with a negative comment. The place is spotless, with amenities for days. I'd go back in a heartbeat…and we weren't even there when the pool was open!

Excellent Location

Pros: The location is convenient to Warren Dune State Park beach (2 minutes!) and restaurants like Greenbush and Staymaker in Three Oaks. It’s only about 20 minutes to St. Joseph Silver Beach. The house is roomy with a good size kitchen and huge island. The dining room table is large. The washer/dryer is convenient. Ample towels. Big backyard with turkey and fawn sightings. TV was nice for watching a football game. Appliances were nice. Dishwasher pods and other products provided. Nearby railroad track sounds were entertaining for toddlers, but maybe a negative for some. Cons: The kitchen needs an inventory taken. There were only 7 forks, no decent frying pans, no big cookie sheets for pizza, etc. The furniture was cute but not very comfy. The pool was so cold it was unusable- as if it was just filled. The pool table and ping pong table have seen better days and the equipment was worn out. Overall, it was a nice place but for our family and the price point, it disappointed in regard to the reasons it was chosen.

Good family beach house

We love southwest Michigan and love the lake and Sawyer. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the pool. It was way bigger than we expected! The living space is huge and perfect for family meals.

Great stay

My family stayed at the house and had a wonderful time. The pool was a big reason we chose the house and it was just perfect for my kids. Couldn’t ask for a better location either! Looking forward to staying there in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth

We are a Chicago-area family who loves this area and hope to land here in our later years. For now, taking on a fixer-upper in a pandemic was comically challenging at times but a welcome distraction from the news of the day. We planned every change with the hopes of providing the low-key, comfortable, and relaxing getaway that people need right now. We hope you enjoy!!

Why they chose this property

Potential was the word for what we saw in this house. There was much to do as we entered a house filled with dated tile, vinyl floors and other 70's remnants. But the proximity to Warren Dunes, the opportunity for a real transformation, and the room inside and out to create a retreat (along with the sprawling picture-perfect maple in the backyard) sold us on the property.

What makes this property unique

The open vista of this acre + property provides sunshine and space and offers country-living views from every room. With easy access to all the Backroad Bikeways, and large a garage for storage, it's a great spot for bike enthusiasts! The huge wood-burning fireplace, hot tub, and evergreens will provide the perfect backdrop for snow covered getaways as well.
