Sensational Sawyer Host

Fantastic amenities and top notch linens. The host made everything perfect for a relaxing weekend. The Warren State park with a beautiful beach and dunes are so close. The local restaurants have amazing menus of gourmet meals! Dog park down the road in Halbert, Swedish Bakery, Sawyer garden center and the host has it all detailed in her home care binder. It’s a really low key area with less traffic and Great restaurants. We highly recommend this home.

Fall Getaway

We loved our stay here. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. The pine tress and wildlife are beautiful. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace one evening. The back porch is very nice and we always appreciate finding places where we can bring our dog. The Red Arrow Roadhouse has great food. Terry is a wonderful host.

Cute and cozy home

We had a baseball tournament in Saint Joseph and wanted to stay close but not in town. I found this property and messaged the host inquiring the driving distance to Saint Joseph and they responded right away. The house was super cute and clean and I loved the screened in back porch area. I hope to come back in the summer and be able to spend some time enjoying it. We are a family of 5 and and the house fit us perfectly. It was super close to Warren Dunes State Park and my kids loved climbing the sand dunes there. The home was perfect for out short trip and the hosts were so helpful and gracious!! Will definitely be back.

I wish we were back at this place sitting in front of the fire and going for walks. Terry was a great host and I’m hoping we can go back soon. I’m sure it would be even more wonderful in the summer in the screened in porch!

Perfect little beach cottage!

Place was as described/shown in pictures. The place was spotless, had everything you could ever need and is within walking distance to a private beach. It is a lovely house with gorgeous landscaping and has an amazing screened in porch. We especially appreciated the fact it was dog friendly and really enjoyed using the bikes. I would recommend this place to others and would stay here again in the future!

We stayed at the cottage for Memorial Day weekend and it was perfect! Walking distance to Lake Michigan, quick drive to the state park and all the wineries.
