A little piece of heaven

This was my first opportunity to experience the Lake Michigan area. Actually my first time to Michigan and it did not disappoint. Bob and Martha were very kind and communicated with me as soon as I booked their cute little cottage. It was close to many nice little places, some of which was closed due to the off season. We really just wanted a weekend to relax and go see the beach a few minutes away and it was exactly what we needed. The cottage was cute and clean and the walking trails were very relaxing as well. You will be thinking of your next trip back here just as we are. Thank you again!!

Amazing Experience

Family is familiar with SW Michigan and have stayed all up and down the coast. Sawyer is probably our favorite town and the Gandy Lane cottage was perfect. Amazing property, remote feel, great amenities, helpful owners and biking distance to the beach! Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home

This home was perfect. Bob and Martha were very welcoming and accommodating during our stay. There was acres of land to discover, explore and adventure in. We had a great time!

Really nice home

Really nice little cabin. We were a family of 4. The main bedroom has its own powder room, and then there is another bedroom with a queen bed. The shower in the larger bathroom has great water pressure. There’s also a shower in the basement for rinsing off although you’d have to think ahead to keep the basement door unlocked if you want to avoid trekking sand through the house. There was also a nice large gathering/reading room with comfy couches and chairs. The basement has a futon and a pac man arcade game. Kitchen had pretty much everything needed. Fresh eggs on property as well! The outdoor space is also very nice for grilling and sitting outside with a fire. We walked to the Pheasant Pantry place for coffee and pastries, our kids loved the big tree swing, the beach is minutes away ($11 for non-residents cash only) and there is a place go-karts and an arcade nearby as well.
