About this property

3+ acres of privacy! Biking, Pups & Walking: Nirvana! 7 minutes to hip 3 Oaks!

My home is cozy and sweet, artsy-chic! I am an artist and my home is my muse...
All the conveniences of home plus a few deer around the yard in the early hours.

Cozy main bedroom on first floor w/ a comfy queen bed.
***My loft space (I do not live there!!) is my own private space so no access but you can enjoy the natural light from the 2 skylights overhead. You have access to the entire first floor plus side & back porches!

Conveniently located just 4 miles south of hip Three Oaks, Mi. (google this fun town:), there are miles of bike-able and walkable roads right out the front door!
Harbert Beach, a small beach near the woods, is 14 minutes away, Three Oaks is a 6 minute drive. But this lovely and quiet home will seem like miles away from the city. No neighbors...
Green lush woods and a spring fed steam off the back deck will be your idea of solitude.
A well behaved pup is welcome and he will think he has been born again! Many places to sniff & explore. And NO annoying pet fees!

You can: hike, bike, walk, run, stumble, snow shoe, cross country ski...
cook, grill, eat, drink, kiss your dog, kiss your love, nap, antique shop, outlet shop, barn sale shop, pick apples, pick peaches, pick blueberries, pick on each other ~ no!
Stay up late, sleep in late. Look for early morning deer & turkeys out the bed room window. Walk your dog, talk with your dog, run w/ your dog, sleep w/ your dog, hug your dog. Bike over rolling hills, follow the Apple Cider Century roads!
Really great country road walking and the best in the midwest biking, 10 seconds from front stoop.

Go to Three Oaks. Eat: Oaks Eatery & Violas for breakfast, Froehlich's, Staymaker. Great antiquing. Great Gallery's. Vicars Indie movie theatre 👍🏽

BEACH: Harbert Beach is local, near and free. 15 minute car ride (with the windows rolled down, of course!)
**Warren Dunes is 3 miles north of Harbert Beach off of Red Arrow Highway. Miles of dog friendly groomed hiking trails through the wooded Dunes and a great DOG BEACH 🌊! Pack a lunch and a beach umbrella and make a day of it!

Nightlife: Vickers for movies, Acorn Theater for LIVE and all kinds of adult fun!! 4 Winds Casino for gambling, dining, crazy-great concerts!

Food: Hestons has the BEST Prime rib and is 4 miles away, yum! Viola's in 3 Oaks for bisquits/gravy. Oaks Eatery is delish. Nearby New Buffalo for a huge variety of tasty meals.

Red Arrow highway : more fantastic antiquing, dining, walk up BBQ, sandwich places etc.
Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries all over the place, minutes away!

Gambler? Four Winds Casino, New Buffalo: 12 miles away.
World class 🏌 Golfing.
Fresh H2O fishing 🎣
Need more help to find fun?

***My wifi is mediocre at best, this area doesn't get super great wifi, its the country! You will not be able to Zoom or FaceTime off your computer while in home.

A perfect haven
If you love being nestled in a woods but within easy distance to both quaint little towns and Lake Michigan, this is your place! Host Suzanne was MOST welcoming. The cottage is extremely well stocked (both kitchen and bath). No need to bring spices unless you want something special. In short, I will be returning when I need a little getaway!

Eclectic Home in Secluded Area
Such a wonderful location. The home is situated in a wooded location away from the hustle and bustle. We could not see any neighbors! The scenery is beautiful. The home is well maintained. Lots of interesting and unique decorating throughout. Super close to Three Oaks Michigan which was perfect for tooling around. The host, Suzanne, was very responsive to any questions. We'll definitely consider this location again!

Cluttered, not clean, musty smell But decent location
Home was very cluttered and floors dirty. Musty odor very noticeable right away. My allergies were really bad. House might have mold. I struggled with my asthma. Pictures portrayed in ad were different than what the house actually looks inside. In the yellow sunroom, for instance the pics fail to show a giant fooseball table in the middle, several chairs & a couch. Was not functional at all Was asked by property owner to not to wear shoes in the house. Wore socks & soles were black within 3 hours. Picked up one of the rugs and tons of dirt and grime under it. The faucet on the kitchen sink would turn itself back on. We finally figured out to keep in off wenhad to place in the "cold" position. Coffee maker water unit was filthy and slimy. I cleaned it. There was a Keurig but was not aware it would be there as not in ad. Bed in master is against the wall. To get out you have to climb over your bed mate. The tub was an old bear claw style tub so very hard to crawl into if you’re short or older which I am. Window ac worked well but wasnt sealed so bugs were getting into house. Mostly mosquitos. Got all bit up. Nothing a little duct tape wouldnt fix. Overall the location was good to get to the casino. Did allow for early check in and late check out. Least that she could have done with all of the issues. Was hoping for a refund of maybe 1 night of 3 or some price reduction. I did bring the issues to her attention that would be an easy fix for future renters.

The Purr-fect Mini-Vacay Getaway!
Suzanne's little cottage on the edge of the woods in the just ten minutes south of the MI border was just the retreat we were looking for. And, to top it off, we were allowed to bring our most favorite travel companion with us. It is easy enough to find places to bring your doggos, but it is another story when a cat is involved, so we were thrilled when she accepted our request. The trails behind the cottage were prefect for walking with our little furball (she LOVED IT) and the cozy indoor accommodations were appreciated by all of us. Suzanne also has an eye for the eclectic, and her décor was exhilarating and oh-so unique. I couldn't have been happier with our experience and would relish the chance to stay there again. She is an EXCELLENT host and communication was spot-on. Overall, we give The Down Dog Inn and it's owner 5 toe-beans up! Best, Jen, Brian and Magda

Weekday Getaway
This was a great place to be disconnected and off the grid! My fiancee had to work remotely, so he needed to find faster wifi in nearby New Buffalo, but I had just enough for my mini spiritual retreat. Minutes away from Three Oaks & my pups loved exploring the woods surrounding the house. Suzanne was really responsive. The power even went out in our neighborhood on the last night & she went above & beyond to let us know where supplies were. This was my second visit, and I'll probably be back next year.

Great getaway
Great getaway with lots of charm. Secluded and peaceful loved looking at the art and knickknacks and spending time outside. The area by the creek is nice, but the longer trail is overgrown. A minor suggestion would be to include more space on the bedside table to put your things down. Minor suggestions, overall great experience.

Dog Down
Property was well located close to Three Oaks and New Buffalo. We liked the remoteness and the quiet. The host left a bag of ice and treats for the dog as well as charcoal and lighter fluid. On the negative side the bed was way too cramped placed up against a wall so that we had to crawl over one another to get in and out. The kitchen drawers need cleaned and clutter removed. Sturdier chairs are needed for the kitchen and the living area. But the experience was pleasant and relaxing.

Great walking and epic biking, very peaceful and quiet.
Deer and wild turkeys in the yard in the wee hours.
Close to town but you feel a millions away from home...

Close to great golfing and the best in the midwest antiquing!
Or hang on the back deck, looking over the spring fed stream in the woods, and finish that book...
