Amazing Property!
The house and lake are beautiful and very well maintained. Very much left refreshed and had the ‘off the grid’ feeling as you hope to experience from an Upper Peninsula vacation. We also had an amazing view of the Northern Lights from around the lakeside campfire.

Lovely, Perfect Lake House
We were two retired couples who stayed 18 nights in August at this property and used it as a base to tour the western and central regions of the UP. All of us felt this was the perfect home with plenty of space, amenities and great ambiance. Although some of the places we visited were over a two hour drive one-way, we covered a lot of ground and were able to visit so many of the places on our wish list. On the days we didn’t go sightseeing there was much to be enjoyed staying local. Be it fishing, sitting around the fire pit, BBQ’ing and cooking meals in the well-equipped kitchen, watching beautiful sunsets or doing nothing, we loved the beauty and peacefulness of the location. Even saw deer and turkeys on the property. We didn’t use the canoe or kayaks that were available but the guys did rent a boat from a local marina that was delivered to the Sawyer lake boat launch and they had a fun day cruising the lake and fishing. The property owner was very nice, easy to contact and answered all our questions promptly. We highly recommend this VRBO.

Lakeside Paradise
Our stay at the Sawyer Lake cottage was nothing short of wonderful. From the stunning natural surroundings to the cozy accommodations, every aspect exceeded our expectations. This charming lakeside retreat is sure to leave you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and longing to return. This property provides ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, our favorites - fishing and kayaking. Our family enjoyed paddling along the shoreline, and fishing off the dock. In the evenings, gathering around the fire pit for s'mores was a family favorite. Sawyer Lake Cottage is truly a one of a kind hidden gem that offers the perfect blend of tranquility, comfort, and natural beauty. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape in the heart of Michigan's picturesque Upper Peninsula. The owner/host was most accommodating and pleasant!

Tranquil and beautiful getaway
My husband and I went to the upper peninsula Michigan for the first time over Labor Day week, and we only had one review to go on and that review was spot on! The house was more than we imagined. It was beautifully decorated, spacious and clean! The bedding Was amazing… Large closets, and shower tub combo in the bathroom. All kitchen necessities available. The only warning is for those who don't like sleeping without curtains or blinds in the bedroom… Very private, but very sunny in the morning! :-) we loved it! We would highly recommend and would come back!!

Beautiful cottage and lake.
I was nervous when booking this property since it didn't have any prior reviews and looked almost too good to be true. This cottage is everything described and so much more. The home is gorgeous, the lake is clean and perfect for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and just to sit and look at. The property has an amazing kitchen. I packed things not knowing what exactly I would be cooking and cleaning with but this house had everything you can think of and more. I could write a book about what a great time we had creating family memories here. I would absolutely book this property again.
