Simply Awesome…Harbor Country Cottage is a brand new (February 2019) 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom vacation home located in Harbert Michigan (between New Buffalo and Sawyer), a short walk to a beautiful private sandy Lake Michigan beach and minutes to the Warren Dunes, wineries, breweries, shops and restaurants! Just a short 80 mile drive from downtown Chicago, your vacation home is located in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by towering pines, with a beautiful private sandy Lake Michigan beach just a short 1/3 mile walk away. Walking up to the home you are greeted by a giant sunny front porch with relaxing rocking chairs – ideal for sipping your morning coffee/bloodies! Entering the front door, you’ll be blown away by the hickory plank floored, open concept – soaring 25’ ceiling kitchen/great room. The fully equipped kitchen is nearest the entry…very convenient for stocking your provisions for your stay. There is a oak country table seating 8 and an island seating 4 for your groups’ meals. The living area is directly adjacent to the kitchen area so it is easy to grab a snack or drink while relaxing on the overstuffed sofas. The two story stone gas fireplace is perfect for taking the chill off cool evenings while relaxing with your party after a great day of beaching, or hitting the nearby establishments. There is a 58” 4K television over the mantel for that watching that wind down movie on Prime or Netflix. Or if it is a warm evening, enjoy the enormous screened rear porch with its dining table seating 8 and huge deep seating sectional seating area overlooking the wooded yard and ravine…so peaceful. Upstairs there is a spacious sunny seating area with a small loft area. There's another 4K television and the area is perfect for family board games or taking a sunny nap after reading your favorite beach novel. Here you will also find one of the two master bedrooms (king), which also has a daybed with trundle for the little ones. The bathroom is highlighted by a large freestanding tub for that relaxing soak. The other 3 bedrooms and bathrooms are on the main level. There is another master (king) with ensuite tiled bathroom, and two additional bedrooms (queens) and two more tiled bathrooms. Outside there is a large Weber gas grill, perfect for firing up those burgers or steaks and a fire pit for heating up those smores deserts while doing some great dark sky star gazing. The side porch has a outside hot shower for rinsing away the sand before you come in from your day at the beach. Need to get out of the sun for a day, no worries there is plenty to entertain yourself with just a short drive away…breweries, wineries, a casino, shops, galleries, restaurants, orchards, blueberry patches and world class golf to name just or the few goodies. Your groups’ stay at Harbor Country Cottage is certain to be a memorable one and you will long for returning again soon. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport -

Peter was very attentive to our needs even texting me ahead of the heat to tell me how to set the thermostat to keep the home cool. Everything was just great. Thanks Peter! ##### G B.

It had everything we needed to be comfortable in the house as well as at the beach. The 10 minute walk to the private beach was beautiful. Not the most ideal with 3 young kids but we truly enjoyed the walk and with their set up it made it easy going to the beach. Our kids loved seeing the deer every day and even some turkeys! The owners were fast with communication and helpful if we needed something. I would recommend this to anyone and I would stay here again. ##### Clare O.

The house was terrific, perfectly clean and with everything needed...comfortable beds, bathroom spaces for everyone, plenty of space for lounging and meals, a grill and firepit. The beach was a little bit of a walk but was georgeous and we had it to ourselves. Peter was available to answer questions ahead of our trip that helped in our planning and would have been available during our trip should we have needed him. We couldn't have been happier. ##### Michael G.

We were truly touched by the beautiful Christmas decorations that the hosts put up both inside and outside. It brought so much joy to our family during the holiday stay.All of the bedrooms were generously sized and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was also well-equipped with all the essentials, which was especially important for us since we were traveling with children.Overall, I want to emphasize just how cozy and convenient this home is. We had an incredible time together as a family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to create those cherished memories. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! ##### Hanna C.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything we needed was available for our use (beach stuff, kitchen stocked, etc). The porches were our favorite part of the house and we utilized them a ton. Rooms and bathrooms were perfect for our group and we also loved the fire pit. It was so nice to have firewood available for us to use!! The beach was very nice and is a great place to catch a beautiful sunset. The walk to the beach was fun and beautiful but more difficult than we anticipated (lots of up and down with stairs/hills) but everyone in our group was able to do the walk. I’d definitely recommend this house and would stay here again. ##### Amy R.

There was a slight mix-up with the cleaning crew on their schedule ahead of our arrival. Peter was able to rectify this quickly when we contacted him and without asking even refunded the cleaning fee. Things happen and it did not detract from our stay and we appreciate how it was handled. The home had plenty of space for our extended family of six. We had plenty of towels and amenities for our stay. This is a great place to stay with many things to do in the area. Having spent time in several other places along the Michigan coastline in past we found this area to be more laid back and peaceful. Thank you for opening up your home to us. ##### Keith F. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louann B., Chesterfield, MO 9 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach house property Lots of things going for this house located within walking distance of a quiet, beautiful beach in MI. The house offers two areas for gathering so plenty of room for people to spread out and pursue different activities, watch tv, play games on the back porch, listen to music in the kitchen/family room etc. 4 Bathrooms and we never had any problem accessing hot water for showers. Kitchen provided us with everything we needed to prepare several meals for the whole group of 12\. Also utilized the outdoor grill - it was the only thing that really needed attention but after a little cleanup it worked well. Walking down to the beach was fun - I do feel there could be clearer instructions on what path to take to the beach. On our first foray we walked up the street driveway right in front of someone's private residence. Also, the path to the beach does require you can walk over uneven surfaces and go up and down multiple steps. No problem for us but could be a challenge for some. Only other needs to improve would be a suggestion for a few more bath towels. We had a bare minimum and with going to the beach one or two times a day we could have used a few more. Very good location - lots to do - Dunes, towns, etc. ##### Louann B.

It was well stocked for everything i.e., kitchne, beach etc,We loved both the front porch and back porch. Walk to beach was not too long although once you hit the footpath it was alot of up and down. We did it with a two year old butyou couldnt pull a wagon up to the beach stairs so it was just much slower. We would love to come back next year but the price point went up enough that it is out of our budget now. ##### Anita L.

Great set up. Beds comfy. Outdoor shower is helpful. Loved the screened in porch. We saw deer every day. Easy neighborhood to walk in. We had 4 generations from 2 mos to 81 yrs. That being said, the trip to and from the beach was a little tricky. There are a few sets of stairs to navigate of which we were unaware. ##### Christy H.

Great location, great property, great beach (although it was a little chilly to be on the beach in late May). Owners are fantastic and responsive and house has everything you need for a memorable weekend getaway. Make sure you try the Swedish bakery that’s down the road (amazing bread and pastries) and Infusco Coffee that’s in Sawyer. We are looking forward to making this an annual trip. ##### Elina V.

The house is fabulous, location perfect, and communicating with the owner was efficient and productive. We enjoyed all the living spaces, especially the huge screened-in porch. Our stroll to the almost private beach was and easy and fun trek up and down the ravines through the woods. Great spot. Highly recommend! ##### Susan M.

This was our third time staying at this beautiful Lake Michigan cottage, and it was just as wonderful as always. The house is lovely and well-appointed, the private community beach can't be beat, and the accomodations are superb. Our kids love the loft area, and the adults love the rocking chairs on the front porch and evenings by the fire. Outstanding communication with the host as well. What a great place and a wonderful vacation spot! Thank you!! ##### Kate M.

The house is beautifully appointed and decorated, and also very clean. We loved the rocking chairs on the porch, the screened-in deck, the campfire, and the location in general. The kids especially loved the loft area and climbing the ladder to the beds. The neighborhood is beautiful and we enjoyed early morning walks down the tree-lined lane and into the woods. The beach was very close and an easy walk for everyone in our party. Truly a wonderful stay and the relaxing getaway we needed, with outstanding hosts. Thank you so much. We will be back! ##### Kate M.

The house is superb! All the generous bathroom and sleeping options were top notch. The layout allows for ease of movement for even our 3 families with 11 people total. The front porch itself is worth the price! I can not say enough good things about the private beach experience! It was clean and many times I had a full mile of beach to myself in the morning. The neighbors were warm and friendly. One kind woman even spent time one afternoon and taught my daughter how to paddle board. The location means you never have to drive very far for more food and fun! The men did a charter fishing boat event Monday morning and caught 13 HUGE fish...King Salmon even! If you dream of lake beach experience, you just won't find anything better. We didn't want to leave. ##### James H.

We were there with our 2 adult children and their spouses plus an almost 2 year old. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom - even the toddler had his own bedroom and bathroom and there were beds we didn’t even use! Comfortable beds and pillows, a well appointed kitchen, comfortable couches, a huge screened porch, and a 5 rocking chair front porch. We were pleasantly surprised by all the beach gear and kids toys available in the porch closet and beach chairs are hanging from a rack right by the beach. The walk to the beach is down a sandy, tree lined road up a driveway and into a wooded path. Every trek to and from the beach was an adventure for our toddler as he walked along the path. The beach is wonderful; wasn’t crowded and the water is different from day to day - sometimes calm and sometimes wavy. The Harbert Community Park, The Swedish Bakery and 2 great restaurants are within walking distance. Our kids are already talking about returning next summer. ##### Jane B.
