About this property

Harbert Cottage + Studio: Half Mile to Beach!

Relish in this charming family cottage in Harbert with 3 spacious bedrooms and 1 full bathroom in the main house and 1 full bathroom and well-equipped kitchenette in the separate studio apartment. With 2 dwellings, this property offers plenty of privacy for large groups of friends or families. The interiors of both living spaces boast hardwood floors, wood beams, and traditional decor, making them cozy for everyone. Enjoy time outdoors around the fire pit or barbecuing on the 2 charcoal grills.

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds | Living Room: Queen Sofa Bed | Separate Studio Apartment: Queen Bed, Queen Sleeper Sofa

The main living space of this home features a beautiful brick, wood-burning fireplace, a plush couch, cable TV, and dining table set for 4. Enjoy views of the lush yard through the charming windows that line one of the walls of the room while reading a book in the vintage rocking chair.

When you prefer to dine at home, utilize the fully equipped kitchen just off of the living room in the main house. Open the French doors that lead out to the screened-in porch and enjoy the breeze while you cook.

If you need additional cooking space, head over to the well-equipped kitchenette in the studio apartment. This space houses a full fridge, coffee maker, microwave, and a hot plate.

The large yard with an outdoor fire pit and 2 charcoal grills will quickly become one of your favorite features of this home. Challenge your companions to a game of kickball or relax and roast marshmallows on a cold evening.

Three cozy bedrooms in the main house await you at the end of an active day. Equipped with a king bed, queen bed, and 2 twin beds, along with a queen bed and queen sofa bed in the studio, there are plenty of sleeping arrangements that will suit any group. When you need to freshen up, choose between soaking in the bathtub or rinsing off in the shower in either the main house or the studio apartment. There is also a half bath available in the garage.

-- THE LOCATION --

Beach enthusiasts will love the location of this home. Take an easy and peaceful stroll over to Harbert Street Beach, which is only a half-mile from the studio or drive to a larger public beach, Cherry Street Beach, which is 1 mile away and offers ample parking.

Greenbush Brewing in Sawyer is a popular spot that has a tasting room with pub fare and a sit-down restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Local wineries with tasting rooms are abundant as well and scattered all around the surrounding area. When you need something sweet, stop by Harbert Swedish Bakery for delightful treats and fresh bread baked daily.

Awesome porch!!!
The property was great for our stay! The overall cleanliness was a 3 on a 1 to 5. First step coming into porch was a loose board and there were comments on that in the guest book in 2018. There was also a large muddy hole in the driveway which was pretty unavoidable with 2 cars. Also comments on that in the guest book. A little TLC could help but overall I still give it a strong 4. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Two homes in one
We love to stay here because the house + detached apartment above the garage is perfect for our family + friends. The residential neighborhood is quiet and just a 1 minute drive from the beach.

Not great for the price
This place is fine if you need a place in the area. It was mostly clean, the bathroom could have used some attention. With the astronomical cleaning fee and them asking you to wash all dishes before you leave (which we do anyway), you would expect the dishes you pull out of the cabinets to be clean, they were not. The price of this place for what you get is way out of line. I've stayed in this region dozens of times and have found way nicer places with functional a kitchen for less. We were disappointed.

weekend trip
The rental was generally dirty and the beds were not made. Respective of covid concerns, I would think the majority of renters do not want to make the beds. Make sure to bring extra blankets as well as they have removed them. Even though management stated they would address issues raised in previous reviews that was not the case. We were not expecting 5 star accommodations understanding this is a lake cabin, but there is a minimum level of cleanliness that was not met.

Cozy cottage with a great location!
Cute cottage and studio. Just enough room for our family. Great location next to Cherry Beach and close drive to Warren Dunes. The Swedish bakery is amazing!

Much needed family getaway
We had a great stay. This property gave us plenty of room for our five adults and two children. The two grandparents stayed in the loft apartment over the garage. It was like a beautiful treehouse. The rest of the family had adequate room in the cottage. Both places were amply stocked with cookware, dishes and glasses. Loved the large yard and fire pit !

Great Family Time at Lakes/Dunes
We enjoyed our stay and time at Lake Michigan. Lindsey was helpful in helping making everything enjoyable and clean (even with COVID-19 making things more complicated). We enjoyed many days checking out the lakes and dunes. Came back and thoroughly enjoyed the nice outdoor shower and ample lines for drying suits and towels). A few family favorites included the campfire and making s’mores and memories, the great yard space for the kids to play, and we loved sitting on the screen porch enjoying coffee and time together. Thanks for sharing your home with us-we enjoyed it very much!

Great Long Weekend Getaway
Wonderful property, easy walk to the beach, perfect for our group of 6 adults and 3 toddlers. The combination of a 3 bedroom house and a studio carriage house allows for so much flexibility. We would love to return.

A great place for a lake vacation
We really enjoyed staying at this property. It's easy to get to the lake, the years is great for grilling and campfires, and the kids enjoyed the games provided in the house.

Nice but somewhat neglected
First the good news: We enjoyed our stay in this house. We loved the screen porch, the yard, and the fire pit. The houses and living spaces are fine. There are adequate linens, lawn and beach chairs, other useful outdoor items, and working appliances. The signs of neglect: decayed plywood platform outside of the garage apartment, a hole dug in the yard that we had to put a lawn chair over so that we didn't hurt ourselves by stumbling into it, a very disorganized kitchen, and a living room chair with vinyl upholstery that sheds like crazy. We liked the outdoor shower. About half the windows have screens. It's a great location in the Michigan fruit belt and near good beaches, but just know what you are going to get for your money.

Quite, comfortable little home
All the necessities in the house. Well stocked. Very quiet but close to Cherry beach, dunes, blueberry patch & Swedish bakery. :-) Older home that could use a lot of updates, but comfortable.
