About this property

The Dacha - Hot Tub, Family-Friendly

The Dacha - a four minute walk to town and a quick drive to everything Harbor Country has to offer! Relax in a hot tub facing the woods, watch your kids play from the deck, enjoy coffee and sunrise on the front porch, have a glass of wine with friends on the screened-in back porch, roast s’mores at the fire pit, read quietly in one of our reading nooks.

We are committed to being as sustainable as possible; the Dacha is powered by 100% renewable energy, uses an electric stove, and will soon have a compost pile at the end of the yard, near the woods, for those interested in using it.

Wonderful family getaway

My family and I had an amazing stay! The house has absolutely anything and everything we needed, and more. It is clean, cute, and comfortable. It is within walking distance to Sawyer and on a quiet little street. We made special memories here that we will have with us forever.

great house and location

We stayed at the Dacha with 3 adults and 4 kids. The house had everything we needed and then some. We loved the hot tub and the great back yard. It is super close to Warren Dunes which is where we spent a lot of our time. We would definitely come back again. Thanks so much!

We’d come back! A lovely summer week

We rent a different place in this area yearly and this is one of the few places we’d return to. We had 3 who stayed the whole week and others who came and went(a mixture of young adults and their benevolent parents;). Great location near “downtown “ Sawyer. Walking distance to coffee shop/groceries/brewpub. We cycled the 12 miles to New Buffalo and took country road cycle trips as well. Quick drive to beaches. The house is comfortable with a ton of nice touches-cute decor, tons of hooks to hang stuff after a day at the beach, and sleep sound machines in each bedroom. Kitchen well appointed with lots of coffee and bar equipment. Screen porch, hot tub, fire pit made it great for relaxing. We’ll be back!

Great family place!

We had a great time at The Dacha! House was just what we were looking for. There were so many cute little touches in the house that made it so welcoming, and plenty of games for the adults and kiddos alike!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Mikenas

I’ve daydreamed of traveling for as long as I can remember, and though I’ve had many adventures and still have many places I plan to travel to, my home away from home has always been Harbor Country in Michigan. My husband and I were able to make our dream of having our own place near the beach a reality in December of 2020 and, after extensive renovations, we’re looking forward to sharing our Dacha with other families who enjoy a peaceful getaway in the woods, a four minute walk to town, a short drive to the beach, hiking trails, and, of course, good food and drinks! We planned the Dacha as a place to enjoy with our extended family, friends, and guests to have a memorable time in a relaxing and easy to enjoy space that you’ll want to return to again and again.

Why they chose this property

The Dacha is on a quiet, dead end street surrounded by woods and across the train tracks from downtown Sawyer. A four minute walk from The Dacha, downtown Sawyer houses Greenbush Brewery, Sideyard, Section House event venue, Infusco coffee shop, the Sawyer Home and Garden Center, Susan's, and Sawyer Market. Warren Dunes, which features miles of beach and hiking trails, is a five minute drive away, as are many other restaurants, breweries, wineries, and means of entertainment for the whole family!
