Exceptional experience. This is our Family’s third consecutive year here, and God willing, we look forward to a fourth. The hosts are wonderful people, the farmhouse is too extraordinary to be accurately described, and the opportunity to spend time with animals and nature is such a great gift.

The stay was great. House was very clean. The adults, kids/teens enjoyed the farm animals especially Oreo the Donkey. The lake was great for fishing. The community beach was nice. The house has a lot for farmhouse charm. Everyone enjoyed all the entertainment - pinball, sand shuffleboard and board games. Tried the firepit, but a little too buggy for our liking. The hospitality basket left by the owners was awesome.

5/5 Stars — An unforgettable stay!Mary Kay and Tim go above and beyond to make you feel right at home. The house itself is beautifully kept with so much of its original character preserved.Mary Kay took the time to show my 16-year-old around the farm, and he truly appreciated the tour and information she shared. It's so clear how much passion and love they have for the land, the animals, and everything they do there.The private beach area was spotless, and the kayaks and paddleboards were a huge hit with our group. Inside, the house was packed with an abundance of games and toys for both kids and adults to enjoy. We had everything we could possibly need and will most certainly be back!

Perfect Lake House with a Farm

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. We loved helping out with that animals daily. The owners are so kind, and welcoming. The house had toys for the kids and we didn’t have to walk on eggshells by having our kids with us. It was truly a relaxing vacation by the lake. We would definitely book this property again.

Our family had a memorable and relaxing time at Saugany Lake Farm. Plenty of room for our family 8 inside and out. We enjoyed feeding the animals, eating fresh eggs and honey, views of the lake, croquet on the lawn, and daily pinball tournaments. The farm is close to Lake MI and several small towns with many quaint shops and restaurants. Tim and MaryKay were amazing hosts who made us feel welcome. We made many great memories during our stay at Saugany Lake Farm!

Perfect spot for a game day, long weekend!

We had a marvelous time and cannot wait to return! Tim and Mary Kay are top notch hosts. We loved doing chores with her animals and really enjoyed the fire pit for a s'mores night. The house was warm and comfortable and well appointed. Our kids are now begging us for a shuffleboard table. And we were just 30 mins from South Bend, so it's a great place to stay for an ND game. Five- plus stars!!

We loved our time at the farm. Baby goats were so cute. Our great granddaughter enjoyed helping with the chores-feeding animals, collecting eggs, holding baby goats. Property was very clean inside and out. Loved the welcome basket. Enjoyed the outside picnic table. The new fire pit was great. We will return!!

Beautiful place

I stayed here with some friends for a long weekend. The property is absolutely beautiful. There is a lovely view of the lake, loads of outside entertaining space, as well as games and a massive fireplace. The location was perfect. There's access to New Buffalo, lake Michigan, Three Oaks, Four Winds Casino. Tim and Mary Kay were so welcoming and fun. They even took us on their pontoon boat. I highly recommend this place as it has so much to offer for anyone staying there. The place is so charming and clean and it's obvious that the owners work hard to keep it that way.

like visiting family:

We were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. Tim and Mary Kay are beyond hospitable their goal is to make your vacation stress free and they do just that. The house is beautiful, the kitchen has all modern appliances, the patio deck has both gas and charcoal grills as well as a fire pit. We were able to feed the goats and chicken, hold baby goats, and my grandson was able to collect fresh eggs and wash and dry them which we had for breakfast the next morning. The lake is right across the street with a small private beach and all the toys you want. Anyone planning on staying here will have a wonderful time.

The Very Best

I am convinced that Tim and MaryKay Hinds Saugany Lake Farm is what God had in mind when He brought vacation rentals into being. Simply and absolutely a great experience. The enormous farmhouse has been lovingly and completely furnished and decorated, and the huge space has an intimate feel. The large deck with gas grill, the amazing fire pit, and the beach your children will not want to leave are all great fun. The obviously well cared for farm animals and the relaxed and comfortable energy they emit are another delight. I could say that this tour de force was a master class in beauty and comfort, but that would fall short of a fully accurate description.

Beautiful Farmhouse Gem

Please stay here, you will love it! We had the best time at MaryKay and Tim's farmhouse! Our three children were able to help with farm chores daily which they loved, we were able to enjoy the peaceful lake with fishing (we brought our own bass boat), kids played on the beach daily, the moms brought rafts to relax in the water on, and we parked the boat in the middle of the lake for the kids to jump off of! We were all able to bring our dogs, they even have dog crates so you don't have to pack one! Often with old farmhouses, things don't work well, but everything worked great here! The pinball game was a favorite of the kids as well! We would definitely look into renting from them again! Great people, great property, great memories!

Nice family get away

We stayed at Tim and MaryKay's farm house for a long weekend before school starts. They are wonderful hosts and so great with our kids (5 and 9 years old). Our kids LOVED helping with the farm chores, collecting eggs and peppering Tim and MaryKay with all sorts of questions about the animals. The farm house is a lovely, comfortable space -- the bedrooms are a little dated/could use some love and window coverings, but the beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked and there are tons of games and puzzles and toys. The lake is lovely and clean and great for swimming off the floating pier or kayaking. Kids loved fishing off the dock. One note worth mentioning -- the property is close to I-90 and you can hear the traffic from most of the property/lake. They do have white noise machines in the bedrooms and since the traffic is fairly steady, it eventually becomes background noise you don't really notice. We would love to come back next summer!

My family (7 adults) stayed here for our family vacation and had the most wonderful time! There is PLENTY to do, we especially loved playing croquet, paddleboarding/kayaking, the pinball machine, and the outside firepit. Mary Kay also makes beautiful quilts that are found throughout the house! They were so welcoming and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed (even providing a welcome basket!). They helped my parents bring down our own water equipment and made sure that we knew where everything they had for us to use was located. The house was very clean, which we especially appreciate as several family members have sensitive allergies. I'd definitely recommend joining for some of the farm chores to get to meet the animals and learn about the farm! We had a blast, thank you Tim and Mary Kay!

Pictures Don't Do This Justice!

If you're looking for a private getaway, this might not be for you. The owners live across the street and you'll interact with them frequently. They are downright delightful! Personable, hospitable and knowledgeable. We loved our stay here! Pinball and shuffleboard tournaments on an hourly basis. Lots of board games and puzzles. Evening chores with the farm animals were both fun and educational. The beach is across the street and we had great weather for swimming. Lots of room to roam and explore. House is huge with tons of antiques and knickknacks to explore. Beds were comfy. Kitchen fully stocked for any meal with both a gas and charcoal grill. Plenty of firewood for evening fires.

Can't say enough about this perfect get away. There is so much history that Marykay and Tim will share with you about the house and working farm. The house is very spacious, well laid out, very well stocked (everything you will need to make your stay comfortable). We were able to enjoy all amenities. Especially the shuffle board table, pin ball machine, kayaking, fainting goats and all farm animals. I can't say enough about our SUPERIOR hosts Tim and Marykay. My family and I would highly recommend taking a vacation to Saugany Lake Farms. To relax and make memories.
