About this property
Newly renovated, 7700 Sq. Ft, 8BR, 7BTH, Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Arcade Game Barn
HAVING A GROUP GATHERING, REUNION OR RETREAT?
Please let us host! What's your special occasion? Family Reunion? College Friends (and kids!) Special Get-Together? Spiritual Retreat? Bachelorette Weekend? Corporate Off-Site? Family of the Groom and Bride? Wine Weekend?
If you're in charge of finding the rental property for your group, you're under A LOT of pressure. The place has to be spectacular -- at least as great as last year's site. The Sawyer is just the place to make you a superstar!
The Sawyer -- Reunion and Retreat is the perfect site for all of your large group gathering needs. Unlike many homes that advertise "room for 24 people in 5 bedrooms and 3 baths," our gorgeous resort-style home offers a generous amount of private sleeping and bath suites with 8 Bedrooms and 6 and 1/2 Bathrooms beautifully accommodating 25 people. All of our beds are comfortable and dressed in high quality sheets, cozy blankets and stylish quilts and comforters. The bathrooms are spotless and adorned with high quality toiletries and resort-style towels and washcloths.
Before we get to our gorgeous living spaces, let's chat about our many "fun" spaces. First, the pool. Our beautiful, in-ground pool is brand new, and state-of-the-art! (Pictures on site here) Heated to your specifications, beautiful and functional. The in-pool lounging decks allow you to cool down comfortably while sitting in the pool. Our pool is over-sized and refreshing at 16x40 feet -- offering plenty of room for everyone in your group! Seating at the pool? Plenty of chaise lounges and tables with comfy chairs and umbrellas.
Want something a little hotter. How about jets massaging your body in 101-102 degree hot water? Perfect on a summer day. Even better on a cool autumn or frozen winter night The hot tub comfortably hosts 7 bathers in a warm, watery paradise. What better way to catch up with friends and family than in the comfort of a brand new hot tub. Our brand new spa is up and running and guests are raving about the luxury!
Inside the Inn is where we really shine -- that's right Inn. We're not an over-sized house with traditional living spaces. Our Inn is designed, furnished, decorated and set up like an Inn. As we discussed, we have exceedingly quiet suites so you have the ultimate in privacy. But, the real beauty of our Inn is the amazing living areas. Most rental homes only have a kitchen, dining room, living room and family room. We have ELEVEN COMMON AREAS (not counting our pool and spa seating areas). We are confident that we have some of the VERY BEST common spaces of any property in southwest Michigan.
It all starts with our Chef's Kitchen. Big, bright and top-of-the line equipment. A two oven, 6 burner oven/range, two refrigerator/freezers, a separate beverage fridge, dishwasher. And an oversized pantry filled with plates, glasses, silverware, blenders, crock pots, toasters, food processors, baking tins, wine gasses and mugs.
Right outside the kitchen is a great Kitchen Dining Area with a 12 foot long island with a quartz countertop and 12 comfy stools -- perfect for breakfast, lunch or a snack. Even better for hanging out with friends or family chatting and laughing
On to the Living Room and Conversation Alcove. The Living Room is large, bright and inviting. A perfect place to escape with 1-12 others for some quiet, intimate time. Even more intimate is the Conversation Alcove -- a lovely table with 4 comfy chairs. Do a jigsaw puzzle, play Euchre, or separate far enough from the rest of the crowd to have the most private conversations.
The jewel of the indoor space is the Great Room. and it truly lives up to its name. There are two dining table that seat 20 people comfortably. A big screen TV with TWO giant sectional couches that seat 12 with additional deep chairs that will seat another 4. Having a retreat or meeting? We can help you move the furniture to the side and set up tables for meeting space for 24, yoga for 24, a guest speaker with chairs for 20 or seminar space for 25. The ceiling is over 20 feet high and light pours into the room from the wall of windows that surround the space. Your entire Group will love this space.
Next is what really separates us from our competition -- massive amounts of Screened-In Room and a light-filled Three Season Room -- between them surrounding the entire Inn.! There is room for your entire group to enjoy the porches even in small groups at the same time and no one will feel crowded in the least. Our pictures of the space are great, but they don't do justice to our treasured outdoor gathering areas.
You cannot beat our living spaces!
We also are blessed with three acres of property offering over 1.5 acres of green space to enjoy with a game of badminton or volleyball, croquet or bags. Our property has lush vegetation, privacy hedges, and gorgeous flowers. Our outdoors area is guaranteed to relax everyone in your group. For those of you on Retreat, the outdoor spaces offer excellent places for quiet conversation and meditation..
Last but not least is our 1200 square foot Pole Barn Entertainment Center. We offer an amazing entertainment experience. You will have access to Foosball, Ping Pong, Bar Shuffleboard, Pop a Shot, Poker, and Air Hockey, as well as a large assortment of classic board games.

We have stayed at countless VRBO over the years with family and friends. Nothing holds a candle to this home. Tim has thought of everything. Kids cups, plates, utensils, multiple pack and plays, high chairs, boosters, and the game shed are so helpful when traveling with young ones. The kitchen has everything you could need and every bedroom and bathroom was equipped with more than enough linens and towels than you’d ever need. The pool and outhouse next to it are perfect and greatly appreciate the double security of a fence and cover on the pool. Tim was always responsive and we are looking forward to booking with him again!
We absolutely loved this house. It was perfect for a girls trip. The house was clean and adorable, so charming. Very clean and the pool was perfect. The host responded to any questions I had within minutes. We will be back again!
Myself and ten other artists rented out this space for an artist retreat. This was one of the most comfortable places we've stayed at. Loved everything about it, and Tim is a gem of a human. Will definitely be planning our next retreat here!
We had the absolute best weekend with our group of 18 people. All the rooms are spacious, cozy, and had super comfortable beds. The kitchen is TO DIE FOR! Great for cooking a big meal to enjoy together. We cannot wait to come back and stay here again!
Tim and Shawn are so accommodating and truly made our weekend unforgettable. Every detail was perfect. The property itself is perfect for a large group gathering - enough rooms and seating area for our entire group (20 people). We will definitely return!
We are 15 people, and the house checked all of the boxes for us. Beds for all, bathrooms a plenty, lots of communal table space that fit our group size, and a fantastic wood burning fireplace. House is great, kitchen well-stocked. And Tim is fantastic, very welcoming, and a very responsive host. Will definitely stay here again.
Perfect Stay for Our Big Family – Outstanding Host & Property!
We had an amazing stay at this property with our large family that included all ages—from toddlers to grandparents—and it couldn’t have been a better fit. Tim, the host, was exceptional. He was incredibly personable, accommodating, and made himself available throughout our entire stay for anything we needed. It’s clear he genuinely cares about making guests feel welcome and comfortable.The house was spotless and thoughtfully set up for a big group. It was very well stocked with everything we could have needed, and then some. The beds were all super comfortable, and the high-quality bedding made it feel like a luxury stay.We spent so much time enjoying the large yard, playing in the game barn, and relaxing by the pool—it was perfect for entertaining and hanging out together as a family.As a bonus, the little town of Sawyer was absolutely charming! We loved being able to walk to a great local brewery and a cozy coffee shop—such a fun and convenient touch. This place has it all, and we would absolutely return. Highly recommend!
As the new owners' first guests to stay in this house, we were welcomed with open arms and a great welcome gift filled with local snacks and s'mores ingredients. Tim showed us around the property when we arrived and he was available during our stay with any questions. The house has large gathering spaces both outside and inside for meals and hanging out. There are also so many spaces to go and find a quiet spot to read or connect one-on-one. The kitchen came equipped with every appliance you can think of, including well-stocked cupboards filled with glasses of every shape and size along with plates, bowls and silverware for multiple meals for our large group.
Location, location, location - the house was in walking distance to Greenbush Brewery and we had a fantastic meal and drinks there. We also walked to the Sawyer Garden Center and picked up our ingredients for breakfast one morning.
Most importantly, for me, it was the cleanest rental home that I've ever stayed in - from the white towels and sheets to the bathrooms - it was amazing! To say this place was magical is probably an understatement, it was perfection!
We had a great time at the house. This house had everything you could need for a trip. There were throw blankets everywhere you looked if you were getting cool because the air conditioning worked like a champ even though it was 95 degrees outside. The kitchen area had more than enough fridge space with a standard fridge/freezer, but also an antique fridge that was gigantic. Additionally the kitchen had an ice maker that had no problem keeping up with the 20 people using it. All the bedrooms were very comfortable. If you plan a trip and know it is going to be in the 90's, it would be best to bring an extra fan or two for anyone sleeping on the sleeping porch. That was the one area that was hard to keep cool since it is not directly air conditioned, but again it was unusually hot for June. Finally the pool was great. it is perfectly sized for a group our size. Everyone enjoyed it and the hot tub as well. There were plenty of pool towels and access to laundry if you feel the need to wash a few because otherwise the towels were stacking up since we swam so much. This was our first time at the house and we are coming back next year. Tim was a great host and made us feel very welcomed at his house.
This huge property is perfect for extended family! I rented this location as my adult children love Sawyer – the shopping, garden center, restaurants, and especially Greenbush Brewery. Being walking distance to Infusco coffee/pastries in the morning & restaurants at night was perfect for our group. My children and their families drove in from several states so the location just minutes off 94 was super convenient. The house was immaculate and the rooms and common areas go on forever. The best part was there was a huge living room for all the cousins to play, hang out, and watch movies and then an entirely different living room area for the adults to be together. You couldn’t even hear the kids with the way this house is so spread out (major bonus). We had a couple infants and there are several quiet, tucked away spaces for napping which isn’t always possible in a rental. The beautiful dishes, glassware, linens, kitchen supplies, coffee makers (Keurig AND regular), ice maker, and chefs stove were a pleasant surprise. There is a massive island off the kitchen were all 11 of the adults had more than enough space to sit and catch up. The owner left us several thoughtful, local gifts and small treats like fancy coffee pods and locally baked bread, as well as 2 cell phone numbers to call if we needed anything. The property is about 3 full lots so the kids were always outside but still in view while we hung out in the house. This is going to be an annual destination.
**Incredible Stay at The Inn – Highly Recommend!**
We just left The Inn, and it was an amazing experience! The house is beautiful, spacious, and spotless—big thanks to the cleaning crew! There were 16 of us (3 families, 6 adults/10 children), and we never felt crowded with so many common areas. The owner, Tim, was fantastic. He met us upon check-in, showed us around, and gave great recommendations for dining and shopping. His communication was top-notch, and he was extremely accommodating.The house had everything we needed—shampoo, conditioner, body soap in every bathroom, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, and even a fully stocked coffee bar! Amazing! The abundance of towels and bed linens was a nice surprise. The kitchen island was perfect for our large group, and the Great Room was great for playing cards, poker, or coloring. The kids loved the Pole Barn with shuffleboard, foosball, and ping pong.A few of our guests did mention that the water pressure in the showers and the height of the shower heads could use a little attention, but the first-floor master bathroom shower was fantastic.We were also surprised to find the pool still under construction, though we didn’t expect to use it in March/April. Tim shared he just purchased the house in November & has plans for future upgrades. We'd love to return in summer to enjoy the pool!Overall, this was a fantastic stay & we highly recommend The Inn. Tim’s attention to detail, hospitality & thoughtful touches really made our trip memorable & we can’t wait to come back!
WOW! Cannot say enough about this property besides our group will be returning. I came for a weekend away with 12 women and from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and found everything we could have hoped for and more. The owner met us to show us around the HUGE property and made sure we had what we needed (wifi, thermostats, working the TVs, etc.). He even left a gift of local goodies and gave us great recs on nearby restaurants and hiking trails. After that personal touch, we all claimed our bedrooms and one was more beautiful than the next. Brand new, luxurious mattresses and everything from extra towels to plugs and chargers next to the beds. The house has several large common areas to hang out as a group and also has small nooks to hide away when you want privacy. We loved the option of the wood burning fireplace in the living room for those that wanted to chat while the other half of our group watched movies on the huge screen TV and overstuffed couches in the great room. There is a massive kitchen island that was perfect for hanging out and serving meals. We can’t wait to return in the warmer weather as there is a HUGE screened in porch with comfy seating and large dining tables. We can also enjoy the brand new private in-ground swimming pool surrounded by chaise lounges and tables with chairs and umbrellas. Whoever set this house up thought of everything. There is every dish, glass, cooking utensil, and gadget you could ever need. We’ll be back!
Really wonderful family vacation. We appreciated how well stocked the house was (towels, toilet paper, plates, etc) and loved gathering areas with plenty of seating.
What a perfect home for a great weekend! Tim was a pleasure to work with and everything in the description was accurate. Easy communication, easy check-in & and out, and great location.
House was incredible and perfect for our bachelor party. Close to New Buffalo and casinos, and the perfect place to hangout and watch March Madness. Cannot recommend the house and host enough!! Truly an amazing property.
House was perfect for our multi family family vacation! Amenities were wonderful and its clear that Tim is passionate about hosting a wonderful saty for all his guests!
House was very nice and the host was very accommodating. Just wish the game room was heated as the weather was too cold to actually enjoy it. Also the screened in porch area is very beautiful and again could not enjoy due to weather. Overall had a great experience and would recommend this house for any small or large groups.
House exactly as described. Tim was incredibly helpful and very responsive to questions. He went above and beyond to help our group when asked and made the trip very worthwhile.
We had an amazing New Year’s stay! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and comfortably fit seven families. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Tim was an outstanding host — incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. When we accidentally left a pair of glasses behind, he mailed them back immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% stay here again!
This was an incredible location. Exactly as advertised. Pool was beautiful. Barely had to leave the house because there’s so much to do on property. No complaints. Hoping to come back!
This property was perfect for a multi generational family reunion. We took advantage of all of the games/pool and the fire pit. There is something for everyone to do. Big enough so everyone in the group was comfortable. Tim, the host was great! Would for sure stay again!
