I grew up coming to the Michigan shores from Chicago, and have watched the area change a lot over the years. Change is of course inevitable, and often welcome, but it's also a little sad to see things getting very gentrified, so this charming and unfussy cottage is a delight to find, it still feels like the Michigan of my youth. We love the old-school feel, easy comfort, and charming care taken to make it appealing. It has everything you could need to cook and hang out, and its location cannot be beat--to be able to walk into the Dunes state park is amazing, the beach goes on forever and is stunning, and and the hosts have also provided everything you need to enjoy being out and about, there are beach chairs and bikes and buckets and an umbrella. Sawyer and the area have nice shops and restaurants... and communicating with the hosts is brilliant. It's bliss, we'll be back!! (ok one caveat: people comment on the beds. They have thick foam toppers, so they are undeniably very soft, but happily we like softer beds, so they suited us okay, if they don't suit you maybe you can just remove the toppers)

Absolutely charming little cottage in an excellent location. Very comfortable for two adults and two little kids. This is our second summer in Sawyer, and we would definitely come back here for a third.

This house was in a great location and close to multiple area attractions. Overall, the house was delightful however needed a few spots deep cleaned. Bed and towels were nice and clean. Bed was comfortable and lots of great dvds and games were available. The outside of the house and landscaping appeared to need some TLC but didn’t affect our stay overall. Covered table on the back deck was nice, and we relaxed there at times. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

House is in great location right next to Warren Dunes State Park. Turkeys and deer walking around. Had everything as advertised. House was clean. Could use a little maintenance such as slow bathtub drain and dusty air vent or two. Deck was a nice place to eat meals. Back yard around fire pit was messed up didn’t use it.

Here’s what we loved about the cottage – the location. When we opened the door, we were met with a loud beeping noise every 15-30 seconds, and we could not easily find the source. We tried calling the host. He did not pick up, and his VM was full. We checked the welcome guide/binder and could not find any helpful information. After about 30 minutes, we found the carbon monoxide detector plugged into an outlet near the baseboards behind two dining room chairs. We hit the reset button, and the CO detector went blissfully quiet. At 1:30 a.m., we were woken up to the CO detector beeping again. We reset the CO again and messaged the host to ask him to replace the decade old advice. Later that morning, the host responded, apologizing, but saying that he would not replace the CO detector or send someone to replace it. Luckily, we were able to find a store that first full day where we purchased a CO detector. After reaching out to VRBO support, the host again apologized but claimed that the smoke detector was also a CO detector. It is not. The home just needs some care. Both beds need new mattresses. The use of memory foam toppers cannot correct for a mattress so soft that your body forms a V when you lay down. We also hosed down the lawn furniture on our first day to remove a heavy layer of dirt. VRBO Support has told the host that he needs to compensate us for not having a safety feature that he listed. He has stopped responding to them and to us.

My husband and I and our two girls enjoyed everything about this cottage and our stay in Sawyer. We come yearly and this was our favorite house yet. It is super quiet, watching deer and turkey in the yard, easy access to the park, plenty of comfortable living space and conveniences in the home. We never needed to contact Justin, but he was responsive before and after. This area is wonderful for a classic family lake trip. We enjoyed his collection of DVDs for the one night we didn't go climb Old Baldy. Highly recommend and will book for next year soon!

Everything went smoothly. My only complaint is that the bed was too soft but most rentals don’t have firm mattresses. That has been my experience. I will rent this cabin again.

I've stayed at a number of places on Lake Michigan. This one is great because you can walk right into Warren Dunes State Park - it's literally 100 feet from the house. It's also near Sawyer and, so, a coffee shop, a grocery store, and several (pretty good) restaurants.

This place was great. First, we love the location. It is right next to Warren Dunes state park, near the fruit stand and close to the town of Sawyer. Second communication with the owner was great. Thid, it has lovely outdoor space with a firepit and a deck with a gazebo and grill and lounge chair etc. Kitchen is well stocked. Will definitely come back.

Was able to celebrate a quiet, away-from-it-all Thanksgiving with a dear friend here. The cabin was as described; cozy, well-equipped, and easily accessible to the state park and beach! Super comfy beds and soft towels; welcoming living area and outdoor deck with fire pit. The kitchen had a terrific coffee bar and lots of other cooking equipment. Wifi and TV worked great for movie nights in! Quiet neighborhood, and super responsive hosts. The only bummer was the fireplace not working, but they tried to fix it as soon as we alerted them to the issue. I will be back!

This home is great for the price and in a very good location for nearby Warren Dunes and towns located all within a 30 minute drive. We have enjoyed coming here over the years. It does need some updating to the furniture and exterior features but overall great amenities and cleanliness. The owners are great and always responsive and helpful! I would highly recommend this to any family!

Blue Door Cottage was a great summer getaway for me and my small family. The cottage was clean and the outdoor areas had everything you could need--grills, table, chairs, firepit, etc. The location is perfect--right near Warren Dunes, Weko Beach and other attractions. We were blessed with perfect summer weather and surprised at how few bugs were out--maybe it was the lake breezes. Would definitely come back!

Great location, nicely furnished. Appreciated the coffee provided and toiletries, a nice touch and book of things to do in the area. Had to clean off all the deck furniture before use and found a huge spider indoors. I realize we are in a wooded setting but there is quite a bit of overgrowth on the property that needs serious attending to and trimming of trees that could help curb the issue of pests.

Relaxing stay

We REALLY enjoyed our stay! I read through all the reviews before we booked, and everything was pretty accurate. It was truly relaxing. Responsive host, great and cozy home; felt like a true vacation. Comfortable bed and lovely decor around the home--all the details really make this home special. We hiked every day to the Dunes and it took about 15 minutes from the house to walk there, so we were very happy we didn't need to drive. (The drive is a quarter mile to get into the state park though). The beach was spectacular and it wasn't crowded--we went in March so it was on the chillier side-- but that's what we wanted. Beautiful vacation, and we can't wait to go back to this cabin!

Nice little cottage with plenty of space in a really great location. Very dog friendly. We drove to the beach at Warren Dunes State Park. It was about a 10-15 minute walk through a path at the end of the street. We had a great stay!
