Heron Creek

The drive to Heron Creek winds through a thick forest, guiding you to the edge of the coast where stunning views and a refreshing lake breeze await. Walk out onto the deck to take in a bluff-top view of vast Lake Michigan, then descend the stairs to get your toes in the sand of the plush private beach. The views permeate the home's interior through its many windows. Catch glimpses of lush greenery in every room, and walk into the living area for a stunning panoramic view of the lake.

What’s nearby:
You could easily enjoy a fun-filled day right at home, swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing on the expansive deck. But if you're feeling adventurous, Saugatuck Dunes State Park (three miles south) and downtown Saugatuck (six miles south) are both short drives away. In town, you'll find an assortment of unique shops, a variety of restaurants, and wonderful art galleries.

Great location

Location is amazing the house needs some maintenance. The water pressure in the kitchen sink was almost non existent. Not all the windows opened. Same with the doors. Well water made the toilets brown.

Lovely property with lots of different social spaces to enjoy. The direct beach access was a game changer for the young families in our group. There were some issues finding the location at the beginning of our stay as Google Maps does not have an accurate layout of the neighborhood and the address provided did not take you directly to the house (the city needed to be "Holland" not "Laketown Township". The house's water did stain some of our clothes when we tried to do laundry because it was so hard with iron. Maybe some warnings about this would help parties be more prepared. All in all, lovely house in an excellent location. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Third time at Heron Creek

This was the third time in the last 4 years we've vacationed at Heron Creek. We are a family group of 8 people who have been coming to the Saugatuck area each summer for over 15 years. Heron Creek is the third property we've used, and we've always had really enjoyable vacations there. Some things have changed over that time. The house is beginning to look a little shabby on the outside; needs some paint and external repairs. There is an external door that no longer opens,and many of the windows are virtually impossible to open and close. We were also disappointed to learn this year that they had redone the deck and done away with the fire pit, where we used to toast our S'Mores and enjoy relaxing around the fire. We were also disappointed to find that all outside spigots had been inactivated and there was no place to wash off your feet before going in the house after a visit to the beach. And the kitchen is tiny (always has been), especially when you've got folks gathering to prepare dinner for eight. But the house is still comfortable and roomy. There are plenty of comfortable couches and chairs to lounge in and adequate outdoor furniture, including a table that accommodates 8 for outdoor meals. The steps down to the beach are well-maintained, not too steep, and the little deck half-way down to the beach overlooking the lake is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the views of the shore. Despite a few shortcomings, we'll no doubt plan to come back to Heron Creek.

This is a great location for a family gathering. The newer decks and stairs to the beach offer some amazing views. However, this is an aging home in need of some TLC. Aging appliances, electrical problems, the presence of rodents hampered our visit.

Great View, Needs Renovation!

The location and view and access to the beach is wonderful at this house. However, this home needs a lot of work and updating. Was not very clean inside or out and just needs a lot of TLC. Also, the last night we were there a mouse jumped out of the sink ran across the counter, jumped onto the floor and ran behind the dishwasher! It could be a beautiful place just needs work and pest control as well!

Great Getaway

This property was so beautiful and perfect for us 8 young adults and two kiddos, a baby and a toddler. We mostly relaxed around the house and on the beach with easy up the stairs access if we needed to run back to grab anything. The deck was huge and shaded with beautiful trees surrounding it. The communication was instant when I had a question. We would definitely book again!
