Great location & property - awesome pool!
We had a great vacation at this property. The pool was an awesome benefit during a heat wave! Close to Warren Dunes, and great breweries, restaurants and ice cream places. We had a great trip and would recommend the place to anyone!

Great spot for family vacation
We enjoyed our stay here. We had my parents, my brother, and our family (my husband and three kids, ages 4-9). They loved the pool. And easy access to beach, and short trips into Bentor Harbor and New Buffalo where there ample breweries and wineries to visit!

kid friendly
We enjoyed our stay and made good use of the well stocked kitchen, pool and outdoor seating. The house is vintage in an old school lake house sort of way but comfortable and low key which is nice when you have a bunch of kids who just want to run around the yard and play in the pool. We plan to rent again.

Great weekend get away.
The house was perfect for two families and the kids enjoyed the warm pool even though it was a chilly fall weekend! The late 5pm checkin and early 10am checkout makes a weekend stay feel a bit rushed, but the house and stay itself was great!

The Family Reunion
This house, which used to belong to my grandparents, served as the focal point for a small family reunion. With an added back deck and an in-ground pool (too cold to use) it was obvious the outside was changed greatly! Stories were told and new memories created. Thank you for a nice weekend.

Great trip!
We stayed at Silver Lining in June and had a wonderful time. My husband and I were with our three kids and my parents. There was plenty of space, it was so nice to have a kids’ bedroom with 3 beds. There is one bedroom and one bathroom on the main level, which is great for people who may have trouble with stairs, and three bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. The house has a fenced yard, which is nice especially if you’re traveling with kids. The house is near other homes but you feel like it’s secluded, there are lots of trees and space in between the homes, you have a ton of privacy. The highlight of the entire trip was definitely the pool. My kids were in the pool every chance they got. There were lots of pool toys and chairs. We really enjoyed the rolling fire pit as well. I was worried about the weather forecast calling for rain but we lucked out and it was dry the entire time. We walked to a little produce market that is super close to the house where we bought some fruit and delicious banana bread, they also have a few souvenirs for sale there- magnets, shot glasses, etc. We loved Warren Dunes Beach, which wasn’t crowded at all, it was so nice to spread out and have some space on the beach. We drove about ten minutes to spend a day in New Buffalo, such a cute town! Lots of shops and restaurants and it has such a beach town feel. In New Buffalo we tried Brewster’s restaurant and absolutely loved it, amazing Italian food and great, shady outdoor dining. We ended up going there twice because everyone loved it so much. We had a great trip and loved the area and house- especially the pool!

Great Property
We extremely enjoyed our stay in Sawyer at this property. The house and pool were very clean and well maintained. Great proximity to Warren Sand Dunes, which has a very nice and big beach, and a nice central location to a lot of other things to do and places to eat. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Girls weekend trip. Property was very nice. A few of us thought the house wasn't the cleanest. I thought it was fine. Terrible cell service was the biggest issue.

Perfect for a quick getaway
The house and surrounding property was fantastic. The house is exactly as shown. Very cute, completely worked for our needs. Very clean and was a perfect getaway from the city, particularly during COVID-19. Its about a 15 minute walk to the Warren Dunes and lakefront. We had a great time hiking and walking around without being around anyone else. the front and back yard was great to have with an active six year old. Kitchen has everything you need. Beds and bedding are comfy. Check in was a breeze, check out instructions are clear and to the point. Nothing too tedious. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Nice family getaway
The pool and back deck of this property is really nice! I wish there was a picture of the deck and table in the listing because we spent so much time outside! The upstairs of the home is a bit outdated but comfortable. The WiFi was spotty, so downloading content prior to staying is key and it was a little difficult to work remotely. The management company was quick and responsive when we had an issue with one of the A/C units. Thank you!

Ideal if your main focus is a private pool
This place is ideal if your main priority is having a private pool as it is very peaceful and scenic with the trees and backyard. The pictures of the house are accurate but with an old house comes old musty/moldy smells that make you not want to be inside. Not much to do in Sawyer but good half way place to visit New Buffalo and St. Josephs/Benton Harbor. Owners made the process very easy and accomodating and communicate back quickly.

Amazing stay!
Our family loved this property! It was perfect for 3 families with children. Michigan weather can be unpredictable, but the heated pool really made our stay! We had plenty of room, very clean and the kitchen was well equip with everything we could think of! Our family is very active, and I just can’t say enough about the community! We took multiple walks, runs, and explored - such a cute area! There were deer nearby out front and back, which was fun to watch! We also visited the local brewery, wineries, and farmers markets...all very relaxing and family friendly! Looking forward to heading back to Sawyer in the near future!
