The location of this spot was great and the property management was easy to get in touch with. We loved the yard and the fire pit. But, I don't recommend this place for people with young kids. First there is no oven, so cooking is very difficult. Second, there are no doors to the bedrooms so it is very hard to make it quiet for the little kids while they sleep. The bed upstairs is extremely uncomfortable and the drain on the bathtub does not work so we couldn't give our young kids a bath - they are too young to shower so it was very tricky after a day at the beach. Additionally, I know measures have been taken to reduce bugs but there was a pretty bad ant problem. For the pricing of this house I would expect better amenities or at least clarity on what is provided.

This place is beautiful. The property is tucked back a bit from a small rd. Nestled between trees, the skylights throughout the house make it feel like you are sleeping in the woods. The location is perfect too-only a few miles from Warren Dunes and multiple restaurants and antique shops. Our family had a really nice time.

We had a fabulous time on our very quick trip. Home is tucked away in the trees and is full of skylights. Could see the stars from the skylights and even heard an owl. Made for a very dreamy, nature-inspired trip. Also, we were only a few minutes from Warren Dunes. My only complaint is that they key device was not working correctly, making it difficult for us to open the door a few times. Also, it was a little tricky figuring out the light switches, but we managed. Would definitely return!

This home is a little nugget just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches. We enjoyed heading south for a little antique shopping and small downtown vibe and walks on the beach. Fall leaves off the beach are beautiful. Not crowded which is always a plus.

Overall we enjoyed the property. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and the location. It was a 10 minute drive to get where we wanted to go.

Have been visiting Harbert/Sawyer/ Bridman/New Buffalo areas for 50 years (+). Always like to try different places. We loved that the home was secluded, quiet, well laid out. All the skylights are a plus, especially on moonlit nights. Though we are very familiar with the area, Host provided plenty of info.
Home selection was a GOOD choice!

The house is lovely, cozy decor and very clean. We ran into some weather issues and had to cut our stay short and the owner was very accommodating to our situation.

Our family of 4 (2 young boys) loved our quick getaway from the city to this house that had everything we needed. Plenty of space to spread out with good sized yard for outdoor activities. Beach pass to Cherry Beach allowed us to explore a new beach and we appreciated the parking lot with all of our gear. The owner was immediately responsive on all questions/asks and provided a very warm, hospitable home for our stay. Would book it again in a second if the price and timing is right.

We loved the house. It was extremely spacious and filled with light. It was in a great location — peacefully surrounded by trees, but accessible to multiple fun activities. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck, and in the backyard around the fire pit. We were able to do laundry. The bathroom was spacious and modern. The kitchen had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time staying at this home over Father's Day weekend. The house is well-appointed, and the upstairs area with bed, couch, and desk is especially nice (we loved all the skylights!) The check-in process is super easy, and our hosts made a lot of great recommendations for local spots. It was easy to get to beaches and other little towns, but you'll definitely need a car if you want to get around!
