About this property

Charming Three Oaks Cottage - dog friendly with a fenced yard and hot tub!

Get away in style to the Cherry Tree Cottage located in a quiet corner of Three Oaks. You’ll enjoy a private home with a large, fenced-in yard that backs up to mature woods and is walking distance to the charming shops, restaurants and event venues in town including Journeyman Distillery and the Acorn Theater. The location is central to all that Harbor Country has to offer - New Buffalo’s beaches are a 10-minute drive, Warren Dunes State Park is 15 minutes away, and there’s convenient access to the Galien River for kayaking or paddle boarding. The area is also close to many vineyards, as well as hiking and biking trails, and local farm stands will provide the freshest ingredients if you choose to cook while you’re away!

The kitchen is well-appointed for preparing all types of meals and provides coffee lovers with many options in the morning- Keurig, drip coffee, French press or Chemex. There’s even an ice cream maker to take the edge off of a hot summer day and a slow cooker for making soups and stews for tailgating in the Fall. The back door opens to a sizeable deck with a grill nearby and a hot tub that seats 6. The yard is perfect for lawn games (corn hole is provided) or for your well-behaved, four-legged best friend to enjoy. In the evening, you can relax with your favorite beverage around the fire pit, take a dip in the hot tub, or gaze at the stars when the sky is clear. There are three bedrooms - 2 with Queen beds and a third with a daybed/trundle that provides 2 twins, and there’s a washer and dryer for your use. For entertainment, the home offers board games, cards, books, high speed Internet, YouTube TV with local and cable channels and Roku/Smart TV to access streaming apps.

Pet policy:

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage (limit 2) - I love to travel with my dogs, too! - and I'm asking that guests follow these rules to keep the cottage clean and welcoming for other guests who may have pet sensitivities:

1) Please do not allow pets on the furniture unless it is covered - covers are provided and are washed between guest stays.
2) Pets should not sleep on the beds - please use one of the 2 dog beds provided or your own.
3) Dog bowls are available and should be used for all feeding/drinking - please do not use other dishes for your pets.
4) Please wash/bathe dogs outside.
5) Please use the paw wipes that are provided at the front and back doors.
6) Please clean up after your pet in the yard - this will keep there are bags provided and a trash can right outside - as well as a scooper.

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful! The inside was more than spacious for our family of three, and the yard was equally as grand. We were well equipped with everything we needed in and outside the house, and found everything to be cozy and comfortable. Also, great and fast communication. Would 100% stay here again!

The house was cute, inviting and was well stocked with all the amenities needed. The location was convenient to several beaches new buffalo beach, warren state park and our favorite Weko beach. The neighborhood was nice and quiet . We took our dog for a walk daily to downtown three oaks where enjoyed a coffee from Alan’s and Baked goods from Froelichs bakery. When the weather was cloudy, we took a quick trip to University of Notre Dame, which was only 45 minutes from the house. Owner was a great communicator and we very much enjoyed our stay.

If you have a small dog this house is perfect! It’s even got a doggie door! It was clean and had everything you could possibly need. Communication was good - only setback was she forgot to change the code and I thought I was losing my mind b/c I couldn’t get the door unlocked - lol - but that fixed quickly and was no biggie. We enjoyed the quiet street and hot tub.

What a beautiful house and property. Located perfectly between Warren Dunes and New Buffalo beaches. The house was clean and they had EVERYTHING you would need to be comfortable. She offered even pet bowls, dog beds, a dog bed for the fire ring out back, dog treats. Upon getting there, there was a little note with some treats from a local restaurant for us. The property was clean and comfortable. The patio and hot tub were an added bonus. She had Native products in the shower which I loved as that is what we use at home. We hope to come back to this house next year. Book this house you won't regret it!

The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood and has everything you could possibly need. My family enjoyed the games, the hot tub, fire pit and the beautiful outdoor space. The hostess has left out no details and was extremely responsive. The home was impeccably clean and comfortable.

Lovely well equipped cottage

We enjoyed the town of Three Oaks. Distillery antique stores, quaint and interesting town. The house was lovely. Comfortable, charming and very thoughtfully well equipped with everything we needed and more. Quiet street close to town. The host was very helpful and responded right away the one time we had a question.

Cute and cozy

I loved everything about this cute little house. Nicely decorated and stocked with all the essentials. Carolyn is a pleasure to deal with. Great communication and very accommodating. If you need a place to stay in this area of Michigan and relatively close to the water I high recommend this Three Oaks Cottage.

Memorable Experience at the Cottage

This house is a treasure in the VRBO community. The little extras provided by Carolyn did not go unnoticed and were a lovely touch. The Cottage lacked for nothing in the way of basic necessities. Our dog had a great time playing in the secure extra-large back yard. It's a very safe neighborhood with quaint little shops less than five minutes away. About the only lamentable part of the stay was the unexpected chilly weather...(we decided not to blame Carolyn). We would definitely stay again next time we visit Three Oaks.

AMAZING!!!!!

Carolyn could not be any more accommodating and the home couldn’t be more perfect!!!!! The property is exactly as pictured. It is beautiful! The home is in a great location to explore Michigan! The yard is wonderful and spacious, if you have a furry friend with you they will love running around and playing in the gorgeous yard! Carolyn went as far as leaving a personal note and everything to make S’mores for our family. She responded to my messages right away and was fabulous! We cannot wait to go back! You will love the house!

Our getaway to this cottage in Three Oaks was fabulous! Every detail of this rental was thoughtfully appointed and comfortable. Super clean, comfy bed, very nice bedding, every thing we possibly needed in the kitchen, plus a huge fenced back yard with a doggie door and special treats which made us all feel so welcome! The outdoor area was so quiet, comfortable and wonderful, plus the hot tub was a huge bonus! We highly recommend this rental. We had great communication with the owner, we will rent again when in the area! Absolutely loved it!!

Such a nice house in a cute little town! We loved that we could walk to everything in town. It's a very small town, but has great restaurants and everything you could need. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub, and the fenced yard was nice peace of mind for our dog. Everything from getting to the house, in the house, and checkout was super easy. We loved the beach at Warren Dunes, so I'm sure we'll be back! Thank you Carolyn!

Best Rental Ever!

We were quite impressed with the quality of the amenities and the warmth of the decor. The owner thought of everything to make her guests happy. And since we arrived later in the evening, I especially appreciated the stocked coffee and creamers in the morning! We didn’t use the fire pit or the hot tub, but it was nice to know that the owner encouraged their use. Fabulous place!
