Family Trip
My siblings and I were looking for a quiet place to spend some time with our mother, and this place was perfect. The Sawyer Cottage was very nicely decorated and felt warm and inviting. The beds were comfortable and it was very clean. There was plenty of space for us to gather and spend time together. I definitely plan to stay again.

Exactly What We Needed
To begin, the the property was beautiful! It was easy to get to and scenic. There were many awww’s and ooo’s along the way. We were able to see deer and other wildlife, it was so nice. The entire place was very clean! All the rooms were nicely decorated. Especially the entry room. All of us spent a little time there, it was just so cozy. The pool was a little gunky but a good vacuuming should take care of it. The hot tub was awesome and the little cooler was very handy. Thank you so much for allowing us in your home!

Beautiful cottage!
We all loved our stay. The pool and hot tub were a plus. The beaches were close and beautiful. A lot of outdoor space to spread out. We had a fire and s'mores while catching lightening bugs. Our little ones had so much fun. The wild life was fun to watch across the front yard. Many pool toys and yard games to enjoy. We would love to come back.

Perfect Getaway at the Sawyer Cottage!
My family and I had such a wonderful time at the Sawyer Cottage! Cathy was an excellent communicator and her love for the cottage was evident in every detail of the space. The house sits on a large corner property surrounded by beautiful trees. The home was exceptionally clean, decorated to perfection, and stocked with everything we could have needed! My kids (ages 8 and 11) loved the pool and my father (age 72) appreciated the hot tub. We used the beach chairs and umbrella she provided each time we went to the lake and enjoyed coming back to a cozy fire out back every night. Can't recommend the Sawyer Cottage enough - we are already planning our tip back next summer!

Relaxing and peaceful getaway with lots to do located nearby
The property was perfect for us! Exactly what we were looking for. Very secluded and quiet. Clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of room for all 9 of us. The property alone had plenty for us to do with a pool, hot tub, fire pit and propane fire table. Lots of seating, big yard with games and corner lot for privacy. On top of this downtown St. Joseph was only a 20-25 minute drive with lots of shops and restaurants, plus beach access, fountain splash pad and carousel. Warren Dunes State Park is literally 5 minutes away with beach access and dunes to climb, hiking trails and food trucks. Lots of breweries and wineries located in nearby towns. We absolutely loved our stay here, the host was amazingly nice and accommodating. There was a complimentary bottle of wine, gummy snacks and bubbles for the kids. Host also provided us with a very detailed list of things to do nearby. We will definitely choose this property again when we come back to this area!

great, relaxing weekend!
The Sawyer Cottage was exactly what my friends and I needed before our jobs and lives get crazy over the summer. Gorgeous home tucked away in rural Southern MI. 2 minute drive to the Warren Dunes. The house is gorgeous. We had a great time around the fire pit, swimming in the pool, and relaxing in the hot tub. The kitchen was perfect for making most of our meals, and the surrounding towns have great spots for when we wanted to go out. Cathy was an amazing host and super communicative. Thank you Cathy!!

Great communication, lovely house
Adorable house on beautiful property. The house is so tastefully decorated with extras like toothbrushes, bug spray and sunscreen. Cathy also left a sweet note and a bottle of Rose for my friends and I- it was so appreciated! We loved the hot tub. The only part we missed was the pool due to timing of it being opened, but I appreciated that Cathy tried her best to get that moved up for us! Sawyer is close to other Harbor County amenities and was a very cute little town with a great private beach. Cathy was a great communicator and I’d definitely stay again!

The house was immaculately, cozy and comfortable. Our visit timing just missed the fall colors. The host was able and kind to accommodate my date switch due to unforeseen circumstances. My guests LOVED the hot tub and plenty of places to visit nearby or meander through the grounds and take in all the wildlife.

This home and Cathy (host) were amazing! I stayed here with some friends for a weekend and it was perfect. The home is adorable, spotless, and has the best amenities. It is also only about 15 minutes to downtown New Buffalo, so it was easy for us to go there for bars and restaurants. Cathy was amazing to work with! I definitely plan on coming back in the future. Highly recommend!

Sawyer Getaway
Was disappointed upon arrival and realizing how close the home is to the highway. But, once inside it was no longer an issue. We never noticed the sound again. Didn’t even bother us when in the yard utilizing the pool and deck. Plenty of play items in the yard and the home - enough to keep all 4 adults and 3 teenagers happy during our stay, including two very rainy days. Loved Weco Beach and driving into St. Joseph for a day of shopping. The unexpected were the wild turkeys and deer in the neighborhood that we saw on a daily basis. The home is tastefully decorated and very clean. We had an issue that the homeowner personally drove here from his home to address the problem. Perfect hosts!
