About this cottage rental

Nestled in Sawyer, this lovely cottage for $358 per night is a great choice for your next trip. 'The cutest getaway cottage ever' That's what Better Homes and Gardens magazine called this little retreat when it was featured a few years back. We call it the the perfect place for TWO Lovers, TWO Friends, Couples, Sisters, Brothers... Rediscover the bond that brought you close in the first place, connect like you've always wanted to, gain a new perspective with that special person in your life. Celebrate? Escape? No matter where you are in life, some alone-time away can make all the difference in the world. Intrigued? read on... TWO is located on a 1/2-acre wooded property, on the northern end of Harbor Country in the town of Sawyer. The Warren Dunes 1900 acres is right next door, and the beach is about a four block walk. A produce market and butcher shop are on each corner, so fresh provisions are never far away. Oh, and the incredible sunsets... It might just be the best memory of your stay! TWO is a special little place. It has a soulful feeling. Maybe it's the 100 year old trees surrounding the house, perhaps it's the original pine floors and architectural details that date back to the 1920's. Charm yes, but this is not your typical 'cottage.' The house had a complete architect-designed remodel in 1997 and has been kept true to its principles ever since. Private hot tub, screened porch, it's all here for you to enjoy. The moment you walk through the door, you'll be reminded of what a great little hideaway you have found! NOTE: the stairs up to the lofted bedroom are steep and very narrow. It's a historic property and do not hide this fact. If you have mobility issues, take a look at the photograph provided and make sure you can access the loft. History Known as 'LePin Cottage' (Pine Cottage) this humble abode was built in the 1920's and was used as a grape pickers' shack for the seasonal harvest. The home had no running water or electricity, and occupants were resolved to use the (still on property) outhouse when nature called. As the area developed and the vineyards moved inland, the house was abandoned and remained an empty shell for many years. In 1995 the house was purchased by an architect and his wife, and they set out to make the 'Cottage in the Pines' their family retreat. The renovation was nothing short of amazing. The house was put up on stilts and a new foundation was installed. The entire roof and joists were removed to make way for the new second floor, and an accompanying shed was located in nearby Indiana and transported to the property. The original windows and pine floors were saved, as was the footprint of the structure. The results were stunning. So much so that the home caught the attention of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, which paid homage to the renovation with a six page feature in the July of 1998 issue. Today the story continues. Each and every weekend, new memories and stories are created, as couples, and friends relax and enjoy this special place. Area Your heart will long for Harbor Country once you discover all her beauty. Breathtaking sunsets, pristine beaches, outstanding restaurants, art galleries, and shops. Whatever your passion, you’re sure to find refuge from the day-to-day grind. Each of the towns of Harbor Country feature unique qualities that create a carefree, relaxed lifestyle with a sophistication that cultivates culture and small town charm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this precious cottage in the woods. We were there three nights. It is a quick walk into Warren Dunes State Park. Falatics Butcher Shop is right around the corner, and it's a short drive to New Buffalo and our favorite place to hang out, Round Barn Public House in Baroda. The hottub was amazing too. It was a perfect place to stay for a getaway over the New Year holiday.

My boyfriend and I spent our anniversary here and it was the perfect getaway from Chicago. Only an hour and a half drive! The property was exactly what we were looking for. It is cozy, private, and charming. All amenities were perfect and the home itself is lovely. If you’re looking for a romantic stay, this is the place to go.

We had a blast at Two! Clean, cute, and comfortable cabin. So cozy during this cold time of year with the stove and hot tub. Very stocked kitchen and bathroom with towels and all the essentials. Great collection of games and cards, too! The stairs to the bedroom are steep, but the listing makes this very clear. Hosts very responsive. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed here with our pup over the Thanksgiving Holiday. It was a nice little cabin super close to the Warren Dunes State Park. We enjoyed the wood burning stove in the living room and the hot tub.

This is our second time staying here, and again, it was absolutely lovely. The cottage has everything we need, and is so lovely. The location is great as it is so close to Lake Michigan, and many restaurants are nearby. The wood burning stove and the amazing hot tub are our favorite parts. We really enjoyed being there and hope to again.

The property was just as described. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing a weekend. If you enjoy staying at old, historical properties, this is for you. It isn't practical. The bathroom is small and downstairs. The bedroom is upstairs and difficult to access, but it's worth it. The owner has added lots of little touches that makes the place feel like home away from home.
