Great place!
We really loved this place. Had a little family and friend getaway and it was the perfect size for us. I will say the description says for 8 people. But I don’t think more than 7 should stay. One can sleep on the couch so if you’re not picky about where you sleep then it’s not bad. But it’s not a pull out. We went with 6 people and it was perfect for us. The hot tub was great and we didn’t really have any neighbors so privacy was great ;) Check in was easy. Communication with the renters was great. Thanks for the great time!
Cute little house!
My husband, our two young boys (5&8), and my mom stayed here for 5 nights and found the house very comfortable and well stocked. I really liked the short list of checkout items verse some of the other places we have stayed. There were some issues with the amenities but the Juniper team was quick to respond and offer a solution. I would absolutely book through Juniper again!
Awesome, Quiet Spot
We very much enjoyed our stay—beautiful home/property, great amenities, and super close to both nature and all the best Sawyer has to offer. The owners were very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Also, it was great to have a pack and play and other accoutrements necessary for the infant and toddler we had with us. Would love to stay here again!
Michigan Family Getaway
We had a wonderful time. The property was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the peaceful nature. Hot tub was great to relax in. Close to beaches and wineries. Overall, would definitely return.
Family Vacation
We have been coming to the New Buffalo area for the last several summers and loved our stay at this property. The home is beautifully decorated and centrally located to all the great restaurants and everything that Harbor Country has to offer.
Great house!
Every little detail to make our trip easy was thought of. Traveling with a toddler is hard, but this house made it easier! Thanks.
Highly recommend
Everything about the trip was better than expected. Communication with the host was prompt and easy. The property was just as described/pictured if not better. We were with our 1 year old and there were many items that made the stay easy, relaxing and enjoyable. The fact that there was a high chair and children’s items available was amazing. The location was also perfect and close to grocery stores and restaurants as well as breweries. The stay was rejuvenating and we look forward to returning.
Great place!
What a wonderful home! My girlfriends and I stayed here for the weekend and loved everything about the house--the location, the layout, the comfortable bedrooms, the electric fireplace, and the hot tub! The house is conveniently located between New Buffalo and St. Joseph, where we did some holiday shopping and dining. We took a walk along the beach in the beautiful Warren Dunes, just a few minutes away. We highly recommend this home!
Perfect Chicago Escape
The White Owl was the perfect stay for the 6 of us wanting a weekend away from Chicago. The house was so warm and inviting that we barely wanted to leave the property, except for a quick beach afternoon and to get food. Having 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths was ideal for a group of 6, plus the hot tub and electric fireplace were nighttime staples. 10/10 would stay again.
Relaxing short trip!
We loved our stay at the White Owl! The home is newly constructed, in a quiet neighborhood close to New Buffalo and minutes from Warren Dunes. My husband and I enjoyed the spacious home, the heated floors, fireplace and hot tub where all amazing additions to the home that made our stay wonderful! Do your self a favor and try out the local coffee shop in Sawyer, which is just minutes away! This home is perfect for families or for a romantic getaway with your significant other. Highly recommend!
Girls Getaway
This property is a beautiful and comfortable place with all the amenities nettled on a quiet street to make for a relaxing and enjoyable time with family or friends.
5 stars all around! Awesome communication, attentive service, and a beautiful modern house. We had so many pleasant surprises. Highly recommended
So beautiful and peaceful! Definitely need a care to navigate the area, will be back!
The home is beautiful. Great kitchen and living space with fireplace. Nice outdoor area with fire pit and hot tub. The only thing is that it is in a brand new part of Sawyer which will be beautiful soon. However at this time, there are still some homes being build. We did enjoy it very much and would come back in the future.
Very nice stay all around
We had such a wonderful stay at The White Owl! The design of the house was thoughtful and welcoming, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub after a full day and gathering around the fire pit in the evenings to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. It was the perfect combination of comfort and fun. Highly recommend The White Owl for anyone looking for a cozy and memorable stay!
Cute and quiet place to stay
This is such a cute little house with all the amenities. Its in a very quiet neighborhood which is nice, hut a very short drive to several fun things to do.
Amazing
Fantastic place with great outdoor soace
Enjoyed the stay, house was really nice and well kept. Outdoor space was a big hit for all. Would easily do it again.
Spacious No steps everything on one level
The accommodations were okay- excellent response from management—we appreciated the 220 electric vehicle charger. But it was lacking hospitable touches like most places we’ve stayed— bare minimum-no sugar- no paper towels; 4 garbage bags -tiny cheap containers of shampoo, conditioners and slivers of soap. Comfortable beds-good closets. Kitchen was spacious with a big pantry and a VitaMix- decent knives-cheap cooking utensils. You had to use a step ladder To reach the stackable washer and dryer. The patio is large but devoid of furniture. There was a grill but furious there was NO place to eat outside. There should be a table with an umbrella and 6 chairs The living room was comfortable but dark and needed more lights. There were no lights on the long walkway to the door and when we came back at night it was pitch black! For the rental cost the owners need to do some upgrading and provide a more generous and welcoming environment.
Sawyer
Everything was great and very clean. However the address on VRBO is wrong. Luckily we had the address from the text messages. Also there is a bit of an ant issue going on inside the house. But it was a wonderful stay!
Great Stay!
The house was beautiful and clean and we were welcomed with a bottle of red wine! The beds were very comfortable and the Hot Tub was amazing. It was great to see how well the backyard was set up lots of amenities and very private. It rained the entire weekend we were there, so we didn't get to use all of it, but I would look forward to coming back in a warmer season.
My only recommendation to management would be that the kitchen could benefit from some additions like tinfoil, nicer cooking utensils, or some additional seasoning. outside of the struggle to cook breakfast, everything was great!
Just a note: This property is managed by a vacation rental company, so be aware they will make you sign a secondary waiver and provide a copy of your ID prior to check-in.
Great Place Close to Beaches and Bakery
Enjoyed our stay at this great location--close to Lake MI beaches and to our favorite bakery and fresh fruit/veggie stand. Fully-equipped house. Enjoyed the outdoor seating relaxing times in the hot tub and around the wood fire pit. Great communication (always timely and thorough) with property manager before, during, and after check-out. Would most definitely reserve this property for future trips to this area! Thanks!
Terrific Bungalow
Such an amazing place!!
By far the best decorated and most adorable place we've stayed at. They had everything we needed, were terrific to deal with and close to everything we had planned in the area.
I personally loved the communication via text which made checking in and out even easier.
Would stay here again for sure. Thank you for everything.
The White Owl
Property was just like what was listed. Any issue that we had with the house was addressed promptly. We would rent again from this company.
Will be back again!
We had an amazing stay! Check in was a breeze, communication with our host wass exceptional! The house was clean and beautiful. Accommodations were top notch. We will be back!
Loved it!
Beautiful house! The hot tub was perfect and the house is only a 5 minute drive to the Warren Dunes and quick drives to both Sawyer and Three Oaks which are both charming towns!
Beautiful clean house with nice amenities
We were very impressed with the property as well as the communication with the management company. We would definitely stay here again.
