Sawyer Lakefront Home With Private Beach!

Perfect location. The actual house is a time capsule of 1974 - just so you aware. Four bedrooms and one full bath could prevent most families from utilizing the listing. For two people - it was great. GREAT location. That is what you are getting - private beach you can walk down your own steps too! Wonderful! A few modern upgrades wouldn't hurt for the price. But again, you are paying for the location,

Everything worked out fine.

Very cozy traditional beach house with fabulous screened in porch.

This is a very unique property. An old house perched on top of a dune with a stunning beach below. Next to Warren Dunes State Park, with long stretches of beach. The view from the screen porch is truly lovely. Be ready to climb stairs, to get up to the house from the road and to get down to the beach on the other side. There are well maintained stairs and walkways. The house is full of the lives of the Deutch family, and the artwork of Steve Deutch. You feel steeped in that history and it is fascinating to explore the work and history in the house. I found a binder with oral histories of the neighborhood (next to the TV). Fascinating reading. The house is in original condition - not a modern show piece, but really very nifty. A little musty, but opening the windows to the lake breezes cleared it out. The house is very thoughtfully equipped with beach chairs, towels, kitchen items and tons of books for your reading pleasure.

A very interesting property inside with plenty of books and art to enjoy. The best part is the short trip to the beach (although quite a few stairs!). Next best is sitting on the screened in porch with a view of the beach and Lake Michigan. The property managers were very attentive and made sure our stay was perfect.

The house is a blast from the past, very unique and quirky. The location is the main reason we loved staying here. Private beach access, beautiful view of the lake and awesome sunsets! Be aware there are many steps up to the house and down to the beach.

I really enjoyed my stay here at the Artist Colony. Everything was perfect from the screen porch sitting area to the easy access direct lakefront. Lots of stairs make sure you are in good shape when you come. It is a very special house. You can tell there is a lot of history here and happy times have been spent over the years. Normally I like a much more modern setting but in this case I was inspired by the homes traditional appeal and beautiful sculptures and art work. Sort of a step back in time. You can hear the waves from the house. Thank you for extending your home to us. I look forward to coming back soon! Daniel B

We had a great stay at the Artist Colony. Quick access to the beach was perfect, and we also took advantage of fun local shops and restaurants as well. The view from the screened porch offers the best view of the lake, especially for sunset. Highly recommend and will return!

We loved our stay here. This is an ideal property for adults who do not need the latest in modern convenience. Very throwback and that is just what we wanted. A lot of steep stairs going up to property and a lot down to lake. Not a problem for us but may be for some who are limited physically. We would love to stay here again and likely will as soon as it is available again.

A secluded beautifully decorated retro style house that oozes comfort and relaxation.
