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.

Family Friendly Vacation

Stayed at the Dacha with 3 generations of family ranging in age from one year old to 68 years old. House was well stocked with toys, games, kitchen items and very comfortable. Hot tub was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Girl's Trip

Our group of ladies enjoyed all this property and cute little town had to offer! The house is so cute and has everything you need for your stay! We enjoyed chatting in the screened in porch, a night in the hot tub, swinging from the tree, and the coffee station. It is nice walk into town for coffee or lunch at the brewery! Its close to the dunes, winery, and New Buffalo for shopping! I would recommend this property for families too! I hope to bring my kids back here!

Stayed at the Dacha with my kids and grandkids (4 adults, two kids and a dog in total). It is the most “at home” I’ve ever experienced in a STR. The home had absolutely every single thing we needed. So many thoughtful extras! It felt like home and not an impersonal money-making space as is so often the case these days. Communication with Andrea was stellar. The book documenting the renovation of the property was such a wonderful addition. My family lived in nearby Harbert for three generations and having such a homey space from which to explore and remember meant the world to me. I highly recommend Andrea and the Dacha and hope to return.

The Dacha is the perfect home base for a group to take advantage of all southwest Michigan. A real marker of quality is short term rentals for me is the ability to make meals on the property - we fed our group of 7 easily with a grocery trip and all of the thoughtful kitchen inclusions. We hope to return to the property soon!

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!

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!

Book it!

We loved our stay! Andrea was a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful throughout. The cottage had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfortable. The backyard was a highlight: a peaceful space surrounded by trees, complete with a badminton/volleyball net, a small playground for the kids, and a relaxing hammock. It's just a block from town, making it easy to walk to the coffee shop, grocery store, and restaurants, we especially loved Susan’s! Bonus - there are lots of toys for kids and board games for the family.

The Dacha had everything we needed and more! It was the perfect quiet escape even in winter. We even had a 60 degree day so were able to enjoy the backyard and playset. They thought of everything - black out curtains, pack and play, white noise machines. Everything I would normally pack and bring with us was already there. My kids loved the toys that were there for them to play with. The house is perfect for multiple families and has 2 separate family/living spaces plus the screened in patio. We were close to everything - downtown Sawyer and Warren Dunes. We'll definitely be back!

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!

Clean. Host responded quickly. Easy check-in process. Close to beach and all amenities. Quiet neighborhood. All kitchen amenities and utensils available. We enjoyed games, hot tub, fire pit. Sunroom and closed porch was amazing. It is close to the interstate and railroad, but not too bad noise as there is a line of trees that decrease the noise. Great stay and great host.

This home was perfect for our multi generational family vacation! The location was great! Walkable to the downtown area and a short drive to the beach. The kitchen was so well stocked with appliances and the backyard was the best!! We would love to stay here again!
