The upstairs loft is an excellent place for kids (or adults) to have a little more space to themselves. The loft sleeps up to six with two queen beds and a futon. Plus, it has a ceiling fan to keep you cool in the summer. Our board and card games and a few books are located in the loft for the days you choose to stay in the cottage.

✪ Large Yard on the Harbor

2025 is a bit different by the water. Low water levels in Lake Michigan may inhibit your ability to put in the canoe or the kayaks near the dock.

Nestled in the harbor, our large backyard offers a picturesque setting for quality time with loved ones. From the dock and waterfront for aquatic adventures to the sprawling lawn for outdoor games, and a cozy fire pit with ample seating – our space caters to all your leisure needs. Indulge in al fresco dining on the spacious patio equipped with an umbrella, an outdoor dining table, and dual grills (gas and charcoal), which are perfect for summer cooking. Unwind under the sun or embark on water escapades - create cherished memories that will linger at Sawyer Harbor Retreat's idyllic outdoor haven.
