2027 NOW OPEN! Colossal Lakefront Home in Sawyer!

The house is actually a converted duplex, so includes 2 fully functional kitchens, 2 separate living/dining areas, a lower level suite. The perfect amount of space for our group of 21 (5 families) incl Smart TVs and children’s play area with toys. We cook (a lot!) and the kitchens had more than enough dinnerware, cookware, serving dishes PLUS a large outdoor grill and blackstone (a nit would be that one of the ovens was a little finicky).The bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms (some smallish) had plenty of good quality linens.The deck ran the length of the house with multiple seating areas and FANTASTIC views of the sunset.The house is on a private beach; the steps to the beach weren’t as tough to navigate as others I’ve been to, although there’s a small dune with soft sand that can be a challenge. Tons of beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys.Practical points: cell service was spotty once you’re on the private drive, but internet in the house is fine.The house comes equipped with a couple of small packages of necessities (dish soap, etc)…enough to tide you over until you hit the market. Speaking of hitting the market, once you’ve booked check out Blue Fish’s guest portal with a lot of suggestions on things to do, where to go, etc. incl. a concierge svc to get groceries delivered and stocked prior to arrival. I cannot recommend this rental too highly!

23 family members of three generations stayed in the house. We loved having 2 kitchens and 3 refrigerators. There was plenty of room for all to sit and have meals. Being on the beach was fantastic--if only it was not so far down to the beach. Coming back up was a chore, but the water was clear and blue, the beach was clean and the sunsets were outstanding. We are thinking of returning.

Right on Lake Michigan with spectacular views from the decks. There are some stairs to get to the beach, however, the owners have left many beach chairs beach side and that was very helpful.. So were the many beach towels.. The kitchens were will equipped for a group (we had 22) and the rooms spacious. The house had lots of games and toys. The community has wonderful tennis and pickleball courts.

Perfect house for three generations. Only drawback was that is right next door to a beach club. We only had two days of good weather during our stay and had rented a Maui mat fir the kids to use. We were driven out of the water both times by people from beach club bringing water craft and paddle boards within feet of our kids. The property manager was quick to respond and the HOA President even stopped by to check. Not sure if it helped as within an hour of sun being out the next day the people were back out on the beach with paddle boards and running into us. Hopefully it will improve as it is such a wonderful house with plenty of room to spread out.

For two years we had been planning this vacation, bringing together all our children and 9 grandchildren. The house itself is beautiful! So much room! We all felt close but also plenty of space to escape for some quiet and privacy. The views from any window are spectacular. The overall accommodations were superior. Everything FAR exceeded our hopes and expectations and we will definitely be coming back again ... already planned for 2022!!

This property was exactly what we needed for a three generation family of 30. A few stayed in another house nearby, but all the activities and meals were held here. The kitchens had everything we needed. The bathrooms were modern and the bedrooms decorated so lovely. The living areas were wonderful for large and small groupings; The extras in the house are without peer: folding tables, games, beach towels, kitchen appliances, etc. Even the bedding was better than expected. The responsiveness of the BLUEFISH VACATIONS team was beyond par. The beach and weather even cooperated. Do be careful and watch your children - there are hazards, like any beach area. BUt all in all a wonderful time and great responsiveness even when we left some things behind! Jason mailed out the next day Thank you.

Beautiful setting, comfortable bedding, very roomy for our group. After finding dog poop in several areas on the carpeting, we felt that the cleaning of the house was not what we expected. It made us uncomfortable with small children going barefoot inside It was very easy to see the areas on the carpeting, (main floor only). Why didn't the cleaning staff not see something so obvious? We felt that the carpeting was old and dirty because of that. There was also a small, full trash bag that had been left in a hall table. I would suggest that there would be more trash bags and dishwasher soap for the size house and number of people using it.

We spent our 22nd family gathering at this wonderful location. The house was great for our purposes. There are large gathering places as well as places to get away from the crowds. The area is heavily wooded which helped keep it cool. The views from the decks are amazing. The beach is a little narrow due to the lake levels being high but still room to sit on it and play in the sand. A/C was great on warm days and plenty of windows to let in fresh air when it cooled down. Dual kitchen facilities are well stocked for large groups. The house is part of Shorewood Hills community so some additional rules to be aware of but they are reasonable and presented no problem for our large group. I would highly recommend this location.

We had a great week at the beach. We were 22 people (15 adults and 7 children) and it was just right. Unfortunately, the level of the water on Lake Michigan is very high this year so there was only a little beach. But we made do with the smallish neighborhood beach just down the road. Just right for kids. Also, loved being able to walk to Warren Dunes State Park. But our favorite thing was seeing 7 different sunsets on 7 different days. Our only disappointment was the lack of good restaurants in the area (at least in our opinion) but that was not the fault of the beautiful home. We would come again.

Excellent stay. Beautiful property. Would return.
