Luxury Craftsman Farmhouse Near Beaches & Wineries

KhyrstinRating, 5 stars3 days ago
I have stayed here numerous times, and every time I'm impressed! They have made several improvements over the years, and it can't be beat! We walked around the property, played in the tree house and swing, enjoyed the hot tub and patio. I wish it were summer, the pond is awesome! There is something for everyone here, and you will not be bored. The host, Jason, is super quick and responsive to anything you may need! Comfy beds & furniture throughout the home! The home is absolutely spotless, which is always appreciated. Highly recommend 5/5.

Secluded, Sunny 2 bedroom Retreat in the Woods

RockyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a beautiful, peaceful stay at Karissa’s cabin. Lots of natural lighting, spacious unit, and lovely amenities like WiFi, jacuzzi, kitchen appliances, and washer/dryer. There are a lot of nearby stores for any last minute groceries or shopping. The views were absolutely stunning. I would recommend staying here and would absolutely come back again but in the warmer season to explore that trails here! Thank you for having us at your cabin! We had such a nice, relaxing stay.

Second time staying at this Airbnb in Berrien Springs, and it was a great escape from the city! Clean interior and king size bed were fantastic. It rained, so we didn't get to kayak, but it's great that we had the option. Would return again for a third time some day!

EvelynRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We came up to see Lake Michigan, and Jeremy’s place was a perfect spot for us! They have renovated the space beautifully! I LOVED the music posters and all the board games. It is a perfect spot for a family to spend time together. It was everything you would hope for in an Airbnb. Our crew ranged in ages from 2 to 77, and it was a wonderful visit for us all! Jeremy is a kind, helpful, and super responsive host. It doesn’t get better than this! Thank you, Jeremy, for the great stay!

Secluded Country Cabin

LauraRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Linda and Doug were exceptional hosts. Very warm and welcoming, gave great suggestions for to-do’s/food in the area. The cabin was the perfect size for two people and the bed was comfy! We hiked through the woods and had a fire - perfect overnight getaway. The place felt isolated which is exactly what we wanted. We would definitely revisit! Thank you both so much for such a warm welcome.

JamieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Cozy spot and super quiet! It has a great "old house" vibe without feeling like it's rickety or weak. Three Oaks is pretty small to even begin the edge of town, it's a very short and pleasant walk to downtown.a Also the bed linens are top notch! We slept great.

Location location

GabrielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I don’t think the pictures do this house any justice. House is tremendously big. Lots of space for large families. The views? Amazing. With the vineyard next door and the woods surrounding it, it was a great view. Very ample parking. Easy to find and close to the highway. There’s plenty of wineries near the house. Also grocery stores for any quick essentials. Back to the house. Very clean and big kitchen. Has everything you need from plates to cups. The living room is big. Tv is huge to keep the kids entertained. It was a little chilly so we stayed inside. But the deck looks really new and big with a girl. The backyard was huge. Rooms were big with nice beds and clean as well. All bathrooms were super clean and big. Basement had an entire other living area with rooms as well. Pool table kept everyone entertained. Dining room had a nice table for the large family dinners. In conclusion, I will definitely love to book this for the summer. You won’t regret it.

Jason was very responsive with any questions I had. He gave thorough instructions on how to check in and numerous recommendations of places to check out in the area. His home and surroundings were exactly as shown in photographs and descriptions. Loved the backyard with fire pit and hot tub. Hope to make it back for a stay again when it warms up to enjoy the beautiful screened patio room! Highly recommended this location if you're visiting Sawyer!

Your guide to South Bend

All About South Bend

South Bend sits on the southernmost bend of the Saint Joseph River, hence its name. It’s the fourth-largest city in Indiana and home to the University of Notre Dame, a heavy influence in the area. The St. Joseph waterway is at the heart of town, running from the east and bending north at the city center before continuing to Lake Michigan. During South Bend’s 150th birthday celebration in 2015, lights were illuminated along the river and became a permanent feature. The water is a central spot for recreation, including kayaking, inner tubing, and rafting.

The Bend — as locals call it — offers many state and local parks with multi-use trails and paved pathways. In town, the Rum Village Trail is a favorite through mixed woodlands with a chance of spotting deer, foxes, and more than 100 bird species. Downtown, you’ll find the History Museum, the Studebaker National Museum, various art museums, and a museum for kids. Indiana University’s South Bend Campus houses the Civil Rights Heritage Center with a permanent exhibition in addition to a self-guided landmark tour through town honoring the region’s past and ongoing struggles for civil justice. The city also offers lots of places to shop, dine, and take in the local craft brewing scene.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in South Bend

South Bend’s climate is influenced by its proximity to Lake Michigan, with moderate temperatures throughout the year and cold, snowy winters. Springtime and autumn are usually mild but overcast, leading to storms. The summer months are the warmest and tend to be popular times to visit the area.

South Bend hosts many events throughout the year, including music festivals that spotlight international, religious, and local music. Most of these festivals take place during the spring and summer months, making the most of the warm weather, which is important to note if you’re booking your South Bend vacation rentals during these times.


Top things to do in South Bend

Studebaker National Museum

The Studebaker National Museum is a great spot for car fanatics. The American car manufacturer was long associated with South Bend and today, the former buildings are now a popular museum. You can check out a variety of classic Studebaker cars, military vehicles, and the world’s biggest collection of US presidential carriages — a particular favorite is the 16th president’s barouche. You’ll also find an archive of drawings and designs around the development of many of Studebaker’s famous cars.

The University of Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame was founded in 1842 and has been a mainstay of South Bend ever since. The campus offers a variety of attractions for non-students, including the impressive Snite Museum of Art and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, with its late-19th-century French stained-glass windows. If you grab some ice skates, you can head to the arena during one of the public skating times. You’ll find one of the most popular campus activities at the stadium, home to the famous college football team — where on Saturdays in late summer through the fall, you can watch their games.

Potawatomi Park

Potawatomi Park is a beautiful spot in the east of the city and opposite the St. Joseph River, with plenty to do, including a splash pad, picnic area, and performing arts stage. On the southeast side of the park are the Potawatomi Conservatories, which feature waterfalls, a sensory garden, and year-round tropical plants.
