Perfect, quiet property for our family’s trip to Sawyer, New Buffalo area and Lake Michigan. We prepared family meals in the well stocked kitchen. The living room was such a comfortable cozy space. The back screened porch area was perfect for morning coffee, listening to the sounds of nature. The pool was sparkling and refreshing. The house was clean, the showers were hot with great water pressure, and the host was responsive to our inquiry. The outdoor space is lush and green and offered a great backdrop for photos. Plenty of parking space. Appreciated the easily accessible recycle and garbage containers. Would recommend this house for any family. Would be ideal for a girls’ trip, too.

We had a wonderful week at this adorable property with our teens. The house is charming, comfortable, and felt like a true getaway. The primary bedroom in the main house is lofted and open on one side, so my husband and I chose to stay in the guest house instead. It ended up being a great arrangement and gave us a little extra privacy.The pool was definitely the highlight of our stay. The automatic cover made it easy to keep the water clean, even with the gorgeous mature trees surrounding the yard. We loved spending time by the pool so much that we only made it to Lake Michigan once.For future guests, I wouldn’t consider the lake to be within walking distance. We found that beach access is mainly through public areas with paid parking. Warren Dunes State Park is only a short drive away and has beautiful beaches with plenty of parking. If you’re visiting from out of state, parking is 12 per day or 42 for an annual pass.The sunken backyard was beautiful. We didn’t end up using the fire pit, but deer wandered through daily and the peaceful setting with flowing water, frogs, and countless lightning bugs after dark. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay! The property was beautiful, and we loved the shady pool area. The walk to the beach was a bit long for my 5 year old, but it was a very short drive to Warren Dunes (5 minutes). It was great to have a fully equipped kitchen and lots of room to explore. Helpful host and clear instructions. We'd definitely visit again!

We enjoyed our time here so much. The kitchen is quite well equipped. Our bed (in the loft) was delightfully comfortable and we slept so well. All of the outdoor space was great for little kids to run around, and the pool and surrounding deck and amenities were so great to have on days it was hard to coordinate the little kids for the beach. We loved having the screened porch. Everything was clean and the location was perfect for enjoying all the nearby shore and villages have to offer. Steve provided super quick responses to any questions. Plenty of parking space for our 3 big SUVs.
