This has got to be the cleanest and best maintained vacation rental / bnb that we have ever stayed at. You can tell the care the hosts have taken in every little detail. The quality of finishing work is also great, which is a nice change from the typical shoddy DIY quality you see in vacation rentals. We stayed in late September such that we needed heat (overnight) and air conditioning (during the day), and both worked flawlessly. Would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our time - beautiful town and the path is peaceful. The backyard is relaxing and a perfect place to chill. The pull out bed could use a pillow top comforter and the hot water could be turned down a notch. We so appreciated all the helpful labels too!! We want to stay longer next time!!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was conveniently located to downtown Saugatuck and had several restaurants within walking distance. The bike/walking path right across the street was an added plus.

My sister and I stayed three nights here while we explored the surrounding cities and shorelines. This cozy, cheerful space gave us just the perfect spot off the beaten path to rest in between. Spotless, cheerfully painted, spacious and quiet. We met the host on site one day…..he was lovely. We would without a doubt stay here again.

This was a cute place for my family of four. The house was clean and nicely updated. Perfect for what we needed. My boys really liked the game tables in the basement. The host was great! He even started the fire pit for us a couple of nights, which my boys loved. Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway Cottage

Property was just as described and just what we needed for our 2 day stay. The host's response time was excellent and he answered all my questions. It was our first time visiting Saugatuck Mi., and we loved it. The location of this beautiful Cottage was close to everything you need from, gas, food, winery, liquor store, brewery and of course the 2 beautiful beaches/ Oval and Douglas beach. Needless to say, we will be returning soon.

The location was perfect for me. I loved all the sunlight. Everything worked great. We didn't need or use the basement area, but the washing facilities sure came in handy when unexpectedly needed. Sorry we didn't have a chance to enjoy the backyard bonfire, but we had another commitment. Highly recommend this place.
