Gandy Lane Cottage

A wonderful property to stay with our family. Every detail is thought of and incredibly clean. Great fire pit, grill station and deck to enjoy the evenings. Plenty of space inside for a family of 4. Kitchen is well stocked. Owners are friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again!

The cottage is well suited for a stay of a few nights. Two bedrooms on the main floor. I believe one of the couches would have folded out to a bed if we needed it to.Kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom are all modern. TVs in each bedroom, and a large TV downstairs. The Miss Pacman game was a fun addition to the trip.There was a multitude of things to utilize at the cottage if you had an extended stay. Board games, books, bikes, an outdoor grill, washing machine and dryer.The cottage is probably a 5 minute drive from Warren Dunes State park. We ended up walking on the beach there a couple times.Owners were attentive, and answered calls or emails quickly.All in all, a nice place to stay for a few days, and we would consider staying there again.

We had a very nice stay for a long weekend near the lake. The cottage was well appointed with everything you need except food and clothes. Numerous bikes and generous beach supplies were provided. The washer and dryer came in handy after a day at the beach.The kitchen was well equipped, maybe the only thing missing was an ice cream scoop. Outside there is an outdoor kitchen with electric, running water, plus gas and charcoal grills. Gas for the grill was provided. Theres also a picnic table, numerous chairs, and a fire pit. Plentiful fire wood was provided as well along with hot dog forks and marshmallow sticks.The host lives just up the lane, was very attentive, and welcomed us to use the trails on the property for a nice nature walk, and invited our kids to use the rope swing between the two houses.The previous owner was a wood worker so there are numerous custom touches to the design and decor. The house is located on a quiet private drive but the state park, some restaurants, captain mikes amusement park, an ice cream shop and produce stand are all a short drive away.Overall this was one of our best vrbo experiences and we would definitely stay here again.

This is a fine place to stay. The property is in a prime location yet very private, and the cottage has great character and charm. The owners thought of every single detail and provide bikes, plenty of firewood, beach chairs, etc. Everything works perfectly and you can tell they really care. The outdoor firepit and grill area gazebo/bar were a joy to use. So too was the outdoor shower and back deck. We look forward to returning.

What a wonderful spot to stay for our trip to Sawyer for a nearby wedding! Bob and Martha were a delight to work with. Bob kindly stopped by to fill us in on the frisbee golf and rope swing on their neighboring property that my kids both delighted in using, and we loved the fresh tomatoes he shared from their garden! Warren Beach is just minutes away, as are so many neighboring towns with great spots to eat & drink...Oaks Eatery and Luisa's Swedish Bakery both being highlights for breakfast. The kids (and adults) had a blast playing Ms. Pac Man in the basement. The house was neat and comfy, and we all really loved the unique design of the wood kitchen table! We had a morning visit from some deer, and enjoyed having coffee out on the back deck, surrounded by trees. We didn't get a chance to try the firepit or use the bikes unfortunately, but loved that they were available...I wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was super cozy, clean and had everything we needed. Bob and Martha were great hosts. We are hoping to stay again next year.

We visit Western Michigan every summer, and this is our second visit to Gandy Lane. It is our family's absolute favorite place to stay. Everything is truly wonderful! My kiddos can't wait to go back.

Gandy Lane Cottage was the perfect weekend retreat for our family of four with two young children. We especially enjoyed the beautiful property at night while relaxing with a bonfire. Kids loved exploring the area and riding bikes. The beach chairs and toys provided at the cottage were very much appreciated for our trip to Warren Dunes. The house was well-stocked with many amenities. Gandy Lane is immaculately clean, very well updated but still has a home-like cabin charm. Bob was very helpful and easy to reach when we had questions! We would love to visit again!

We stopped here on a family road trip and Gandy Lane was excellent. Bob met us and showed us around while we admired all the finishing touches that he built into the cottage. He also gave our grandkids tractor rides. Thank you Bob and Martha for sharing your house and generosity.

House was beautiful and right down the road from the beach.

We had a great stay at Martha and Bob’s cottage. This was a perfect place to stay to walk to the Dunes and the beach. There were a lot of nice options around Sawyer for local dining, and great suggestions for places to go from our hosts. We ended up walking to the Historian for a dinner one night which was great. We also took advantage of the grill at the house one evening, and made a bonfire in the fire pit. It was all around a lovely place with lovely people and we would definitely stay again.
