Our sunny Harbor Country home is surrounded by woods at the end of a private street and is walkable to Lake Michigan. 7-day Saturday to Saturday rental only, please. We are a 15-min walk from the Union Pier/Berrien public beach, 5-min drive from New Buffalo & Sawyer, 10-min drive from Three Oaks. There is even a pickleball court outside the front door! Occasional trains only add to the atmosphere. Owners stay on premises in their separate, upstairs studio from time to time. Rentals at Sandhill House are by the week only from Saturday to Saturday, May 1st to September 30th. We are open to renting off season by request! You will enjoy a screened-in front porch with French doors opening from the dining room/kitchen for mosquito-free open air meals. Our kitchen is made for chefs! It is well-equipped with pots/pans, utensils, etc. - everything you will need to create delicious-ness. There is also a gas grill on the back deck and fire pit on the patio for easy s'mores access! If you don't know how to play pickleball, don't worry - it is super fun and easy to learn. We provide paddles and balls so you can give it a shot. The area is very bike-friendly so bring your bikes. We have multiple parking spaces available in front of the house, but we do not allow parking on the pickleball court, thank you! There is no parking near the beach, so if you have a ton of stuff, but don't have bikes, you may want to do a drive and drop and then walk back over. We will have beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, and an umbrella available for your use. We are always available by phone, and occasionally may be staying in the upstairs studio or tending the vegetable garden in front. Both living spaces provide the occupants with complete privacy. We are happy to help with any questions/issues! The Union Pier (Berrien Street) public beach is spacious and we've never had trouble finding a place to relax for the day. There are lots of great places to bike in the area - a favorite trip of ours is to ride into Three Oaks for a breakfast or lunch at Froelich's. Three Oaks is a quaint and popular destination with great shops of all kinds including clothes (French Twist) and antiques. You won't want for tasty food options: The Stray Dog in New Buffalo is always hopping, Greenbush Brewery has killer barbecue and great beer, and for pizza cravings we love Patellie's. Three Oaks also boasts a super dive bar in Nelson's, and fantastic theaters - the Vickers movie theater and the Acorn for music and stage performances. Also the house is a short walk to the Whistle Stop Grocery/Cafe (yummy take out) and the Red Arrow Roadhouse. A breakfast fave is Luisa's - just up the road in Harbert. As for fruit and veg, it is everywhere! There is a farmer's market at Skip's in Union Pier on the weekends, there are mom and pop shops on many back roads, and you can either pick or just pick up blueberries from several nearby farms. For the organic fan, the Granor farm is super close and has fresh veg and events all summer. Lastly, we are solidly on the West Michigan Wine Trail and tasting rooms are just around the corner. The house is easily accessible from I-94 and is one mile from exit 6. We are a 15-minute drive from the Michigan City South Shore Station, and a 5-minute drive from the New Buffalo Amtrak station.
