Beach and Michigan Summer Rental

We just arrived back home from our trip to Michigan.  We had the beach and Lake Michigan for the week.  You can see the small pic of Terry on the beach.  This is how massive the beach area is along the coast of Lake Michigan.


 

We could not have asked for better weather.  All week just sunshine and in the 80's.  No rain until we left to come home.

This is the cute little rental house in Sawyer Michigan.    Sawyer is a small lake town just inside the border of Michigan.  About an hour and 15 minute ride for us from our home in Illinois.



The decor inside this rental was so cute.  Behind that sliding barn door is a big bedroom.





Cute bedroom behind the barn doors.

We stayed in this beautiful Master Bedroom.



Cute outdoor deck space.  It had everything we needed to spend most of our time outdoors.


A beautiful pool to enjoy.


I visited all my shops and we ate at the local restaurants.  Love that so many small business and restaurants are in this area to enjoy.

We really needed this escape from Life and we were blessed with a wonderful trip.  Hope to have more of these escapes in the future.

Happy 4th of July everyone. 
 Enjoy the long weekend. 
 Our fireworks here are tomorrow night and the weather is going to be beautiful.

  12. So happy you had great weather and escape.

    The rental is so pretty and air looks so clean. It's been humid in NJ which is typical.

    One ofthe reasons I don't enjoy summer.

  29. Doesn't it feel good to get away? It just renews your soul and energy! The house you rented looks adorable and I loved the photos of the dunes at the beach (looks like the ocean!). We live near Lake Ontario and sometimes I feel like we are at the ocean!
