Sawyer house
Cute little house in a beautiful wooded neighborhood. Loved the big windows throughout the house, however, some blinds or curtains at night would have made us feel less exposed. There was a moving light of some kind (flashlight? Drone?) Into the bedroom window at different times throughout the night.

Weekend getaway
The house has a VERY musty smell. There are no window coverings on any of the windows. It is a combination of updated and very out of date. Overall, it is a decent place to stay. I loved the sky lights throughout the house.

Lovely little house in the woods
We loved the place and the location. The house has tons of windows and light and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood in the woods. Lots of restaurant choices nearby as well as beaches. Our only minor complaint is that it would be nice if there were curtains or blinds on the windows in the downstairs bedroom, we felt very exposed. There was also a weird incident where another couple showed up in the driveway the second night and said they had booked the place. It had somehow been double-booked by the property management company. It caused an hour of awkwardness while the poor couple had to sort it out, But we would definitely recommend this place for couples and small families, and would book it again.

Great location, OK property
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.

Beautiful hideaway in perfect location
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!

Harbert Rental
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!

Great Find Tucked Away In The Woods
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.

Extremely nice home and location
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.

Lovely little cabin in the woods!
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!
