Perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Steps away from beach and dunes. Amazing outdoor space to listen to the waves and watch the sunset. Highly recommend!!
We loved this property! Both kids really enjoyed the nightly golf cart rides. We used the beach, met friends at the dunes, and did all things touristy. But the best was the view. We live on a lake and have a sunset view but this just doesn’t compare. We will definitely stay again.
The house was perfect and just as described in the listing and pics. Our family was so comfortable and loved the cute home and awesome location! The beach was so close and clean and the lil ones liked riding the golf cart to it. Being able to see all the action on the dunes right there too was amazing! Sunsets here are beautiful. The owner is very friendly, helpful, and responsive. We had a great trip at The Sage and we highly recommend this property.
The property was perfect for our week of laid back relaxation. The view was amazing and our week was filled with fun times and memories my family will cherish for the rest of our lives. We hope to visit again in the future!
I can’t say enough good things about our stay and this property! The view is absolutely breathtaking. You are a very short walk to the beach and the sand dunes. Quick trip into town for necessities. So much fun stuff to do with the (older) kids in the area. The property was very clean and comfortable. Amazing stay, we will definitely be back!
The property is exactly what is listed. Beautiful view of lake Michigan. Check in was seamless and the golf cart was perfect for the trip down to the beach. Great family trip for my husband and my adult kids.
My family and myself stayed at the sage. The stay was amazing!!! Its close to dunes if that is something your interested in. My children had a great time at the beach which is right down from the house. The breathtaking views are all you need. The view is unlike any other. The owner is quick to respond and is very friendly. I can't wait to stay next year.
We knew the ORV area was nearby prior to arrival and I appreciated that. The cottage was small but clean and the view was beautiful. It worked for my husband, 14yo daughter, and her friend. The beach was crowded with people parked at the dunes and the ORVs were loud. We ended up packing up our cooler and beach stuff and headed down to Cedar Point park, a
less than 10 minute drive,, and which is small but nice and quiet. If you're going there to ride the dunes, you'll love it, if not, the cottage is a very nice, clean place to stay, and mornings on the deck with fresh coffee are lovely until about 10 am.
We had a wonderful family stay at the Sage. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The view of Lake MI was gorgeous!. I would definitely stay here again.
Our family stayed at the Sage house. The view was absolutely lovely. The house was clean and well maintained. Our hosts were very responsive and gave us suggestions of local sightseeing. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was easy to access.
Stunningly remodeled with sharp interior and a view that won't quit! The wrap around deck is fantastic for lounging and enjoying the peaceful waters of Lake Michigan. Lots of outdoor seating and the grill setup is wonderful as well. Beach is just a short walk away. Very responsive host as well! We made great memories and look forward to returning!
Perfect location right on Lake MI. Short stroll to semi-private beach with good entertaining views of buggy driving area. Cottage had nice styling and amenities with big windows to enjoy the magnificent view. We would definitely stay here again!

Were the previous Owners of Silver lake Rentals! we've owned property in the area since 2002... I grew up here and decided to come back and Purchase the "Sage" in 2019. Were both Retired and love the lakeshore area. We spent a lot of time tweaking the "Sage" to the Bohemian Beauty she deserves to be. Its a step back in the 1960's with very Modern upgrades including the Premium Kitchen, Bathroom, Fancy Linens and all New Beds.
Why they chose this property
The Sage was the very first property developed on the Bluff......In Juniper Beach. I am only the 3rd owner... This Cottage has had only Loving hands on it and we hope to find a solid renter base that takes care of it and loves it as much as we do! The Views are the best in the Sub...the cottage has been fully Modernized and has a bohemian feel that's very relaxing. This is not a Loud party place, its beautiful and Serene and Unique. This is a place to relax! We can provide referrals for dining & Spa Massage very close by as well.
