The Dacha - Hot Tub, Family-Friendly

Stayed at the Dacha with my kids and grandkids (4 adults, two kids and a dog in total). It is the most “at home” I’ve ever experienced in a STR. The home had absolutely every single thing we needed. So many thoughtful extras! It felt like home and not an impersonal money-making space as is so often the case these days. Communication with Andrea was stellar. The book documenting the renovation of the property was such a wonderful addition. My family lived in nearby Harbert for three generations and having such a homey space from which to explore and remember meant the world to me. I highly recommend Andrea and the Dacha and hope to return.

Loved our weekend at the Dacha, can’t wait for next time!

The Dacha is the perfect home base for a group to take advantage of all southwest Michigan. A real marker of quality is short term rentals for me is the ability to make meals on the property - we fed our group of 7 easily with a grocery trip and all of the thoughtful kitchen inclusions. We hope to return to the property soon!

The Dacha had everything we needed and more! It was the perfect quiet escape even in winter. We even had a 60 degree day so were able to enjoy the backyard and playset. They thought of everything - black out curtains, pack and play, white noise machines. Everything I would normally pack and bring with us was already there. My kids loved the toys that were there for them to play with. The house is perfect for multiple families and has 2 separate family/living spaces plus the screened in patio. We were close to everything - downtown Sawyer and Warren Dunes. We'll definitely be back!

We loved our stay! Andrea was a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful throughout. The cottage had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfortable. The backyard was a highlight: a peaceful space surrounded by trees, complete with a badminton/volleyball net, a small playground for the kids, and a relaxing hammock. It's just a block from town, making it easy to walk to the coffee shop, grocery store, and restaurants, we especially loved Susan’s! Bonus - there are lots of toys for kids and board games for the family.
