Great location, house, and host
Stayed for a girl's trip, had a lovely time. House was as described, great indoor and outdoor spaces, lots of helpful information provided in the guest book, and Mary (host) was great! Short walk to the beach and centrally located for shopping, wineries, and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

New Years Getaway
My college friends and I (four couples) come together annually. Our New Years stay at this property was perfect for us! We loved the spacious house, the enchanting interior design and the many gathering spots - we used them all! Games in three different hangout spaces were a perfect way to mix it up and long walks around the neighborhood and the dunes was a perfect stretch of the legs. We couldn't stop getting excited everytime we saw the deer prancing around!

Great place!
This home is so spacious with so many areas to gather for a large family. The kitchen has everything you would ever need and more. Plenty of books and games for all ages, including the Pac-Man game. The host, Mary, was wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend this rental, with its close proximity to the Warren dunes and wooded hiking paths.

Charming Cottage
Dunes Edge Retreat is a charming and spacious cottage that was just perfect for our group of eight seniors. The house is surprisingly large, yet cozy. We enjoyed the spacious, well appointed kitchen and dining room and spent most of our time outside around the firepit. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were and the entire house was clean as a whistle! It was a pleasure to work with Mary, the property host. She was very accommodating and responsive. We look forward to staying here again!

Blast at the beach!
This was a great rental for our large family! The owner is very reliable. It's located a half mile from the state park where the sand on the Lake Michigan beach is therapeutic. What we appreciated most is how well stocked it was with paper products, cleaning supplies, beach toys, etc. It had everything we needed, including a fire pit with abundant seating, a grill, picnic table, etc! Something for everyone, adults and kids alike. Local parks, splash pad, pickleball, kid friendly wineries and a handful of good restaurants.

Family summer vacation
Ten of us stayed at Mary’s home for a week of fun and relaxation. The house was very spacious and accommodated all ages in our group. We played many games, laughed a lot, walked to the beach, and enjoyed local wineries. We would definitely return!

Family Vacation
Beautiful setting for vacation with 3 generations of our family. This was our 2nd time staying here and was enjoyed just as much as the first time. Plenty of room for fun together or for moments alone. Easy, short accessibility to Lake Michigan for bach fund and awesome sunsets.
