Our home is beautiful and welcoming having almost as much outdoor living space as indoor space. Drink your morning coffee and watch the sunrise on our east facing deck.

Kitchen has seating for four, coffee bar and wine fridge. Great place to cook dinner and gather with family or friends. Bathroom is a wet room with two shower heads and heated floors.

Happy Acres is located on 17 acres of which 3 acres is lawn and 14 acres of farmland. Take the dirt road up to the house. Enjoy the professionally landscaped lawn and gardens. Walk the grounds. Play frisbee or catch or bags on the lawns.

Please note that as the area is rural, Wifi is slower… this is not the place for the gamers. Movies can be streamed via Netflix however if multiple devices are being used at the same time expect slower speeds. There are no televisions in the home.

We love listening to the cacophony of birds and watching the majestic sunsets and sparkling night sky illuminated by lightening bugs. Happy Acres is a great place to decompress and escape!

Relaxing couples getaway

We enjoyed the most relaxing stay at Happy Acres! The hosts thought of every detail and amenity to make the experience comfortable. Our absolute favorite spaces were the large patio which was perfect for enjoying views of the Michigan countryside as well as the comfy chairs in the living room - excellent space for playing games. We will return!

A gem of a get-a-way!

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. It was full of charming surprises and delights to the senses. The setting is beautiful inside and out: very clean, bright, peaceful, relaxing—a place to truly unplug and restore your soul. The sunsets on the back deck (which offers plenty of seating) and sunrises on the front deck are incredible. The interior of the home is designed with a high-end mix of furniture and decor that is eclectic and inspiriting—wonderful art and a color palette full of watery blues and cheery sunshine. I’m a graphic designer who truly enjoys interior design, and it was a treat to stay here. It’s like living in an Anthropologie store! And our two young kids would come here just for the wet-room-bathroom experience with two shower heads—it’s unique, a cool concept and so luxurious, with plenty of white fluffy towels too! There’s an Alexa in the kitchen for ease of music and weather checks. It truly is a happy place as it is apply named. The hosts were so helpful to curate their local favorite stops of all kinds in a guidebook they created which is waiting for your as soon as you walk in. Wendy is very easy to contact and quick to respond. The location is close to so many fun outdoor activities, cute vintage/home shops, art galleries, unique restaurants and the charming downtowns of Three Oaks, New Buffalo, Union Pier, St. Joseph and Niles. We went to the Sawyer Dunes State Park, St. Joseph’s Silver Beach, Granor Farm for a tour and some of the most beautiful organic produce and culinary treats around, the Fernwood Botanical Gardens for a truly magical nature experience, and a u-pick Lavender Farm close by that has a shop full of lavender goodies. The restaurants we ate at had great food, locally sourced with wonderful service. The Journeyman Distillery not only has amazing food, but put-put out back which was great fun for our family. Oaks Eatery and Froelichs were also super (in Three Oaks). Luisa’s cafe and the attached Harbert Swedish Bakery is special, as is the Whistle Stop grocery (best lattes around)-a quick drive from the house on the Red Arrow Highway. The Stray Dog, Brewsters, and Beer Church in New Buffalo are fun, casual options for food that have outdoor seating. We met so many kind people in the town of Three Oaks and surrounding vicinity during our stay here. And it was so nice to be out and busy but come back to this tranquil oasis and recharge. Thanks again, Wendy and Eric—we will be back for sure!

Cornfield Sanctuary

We very much enjoyed our birthday weekend getaway at this adorable, well appointed, clean house in Three Oaks! Other than a short stint of serenity disruption from the only neighbor, this house provides a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle.

Fantastic place for a girls’ weekend

Wendy was super responsive to questions before our stay. The house is spotless! And so adorable! The warm floors in the bathroom were such a treat! We appreciated all the mirrors which helped us all get ready! The house feels out in a field but we were only 5 minutes from downtown Three Oaks and 15 minutes from New Buffalo so it was the perfect location! I wouldn’t be surprised if we are back one day!

Relaxing Stay @ Happy Acres

This property is great for a long weekend away. The house is the perfect size for a small family. It was clean, updated and cozy. Wendy was very accommodating and the house was stocked with everything you’d need. The views are breathtaking… the back porch was the perfect way to start and end the day. We had a great time and will be back soon!
