Located along what has become known as the “Art Coast of Michigan,” the charming town of Douglas offers you not only the stunning shoreline of Lake Michigan—backed by magnificent natural beauty—but also an art-lover’s paradise rich with culture and creature comforts, great restaurants, and vacation-oriented amenities. Whether you and your guests are seeking relaxation, adventure, a dive into the arts, or amazing culinary delights, this town has something for everyone.

Or head over to neighboring Oval Beach (in Saugatuck), which was ranked “One of the Top 25 Beaches in the World” by Conde Nast Traveler magazine!
For art lovers, just a few of the popular spots for local and national artworks include the Water Street Gallery, LaFontsee Galleries, Button Gallery, Mr. Miller's Art Emporium, LebenArt Gallery, and J. Petter Galleries, which features a curated collection of artwork, a theater with performances by distinguished artists, a wine bar, and a shop offering local wines, artisan cheeses, and hand-poured chocolates. Douglas also boasts stylish boutiques and antique shops, including the colorful collector’s haven, the Antique Pavilion, where you can shop for (and discover) all sorts of treasures.
If you're seeking outdoor fun, check out the nearby Saugatuck Dune Rides, where you’ll explore the dunes—one of Michigan’s true natural treasures—and experience a unique mix of entertainment, fun, and excitement!

Great place
We stayed at the Bird Cage for our Mom and Adult Daughter weekend. It was the perfect place for our party of 5. The house is beautifully decorated and the host has ensured you have everything you will need for a comfortable stay. There were beach and bath towels, shampoo and bath soaps, laundry supplies, and everything you could possibly need in the well equipped kitchen.
The back yard is nice with the hot tub and fire pit. In the morning as we drank coffee on the back patio, we saw deer walking through the yard.
There are so many cute shops and wonderful restaurants minutes away in downtown Douglas and Saugatuck. Also really close is access to the beach and sand dunes.
Would highly recommend!!

Wonderful stay
Had a great time at the birdcage. Property is beautiful and private. We had the best time relaxing in the hot tub and building a nice fire pit at the end of long days hiking the nearby trails. Highly recommend this spot esp for families or people with dogs, very kid and dog friendly stay.

Clean, well-appointed home
Everything was spotless, check in was smooth, and management was prompt in replying to any questions we had. We enjoyed all of the thoughtful touches, like the welcome wine bottle for us and cookies for the kids, the little soaps and conditioners laid out in the bathrooms, etc. Everything you could want is in the kitchen, there were plenty of towels and blankets to go around, etc.
Our crew really enjoyed the pool table and hot tub, as well as the nice deep tub in the master bath. It was a great way to have fun and relax after the holiday. The absolute hit for the younger kids was being able to boss Alexa around, which none of them have at home. Bathroom humor abounded!
My only two items to note would be to have a cupboard available in the kitchen to put groceries. It's nice that there are so many gadgets and serving bowls, etc, but we realized there wasn't a space for the things we brought. We just ended up pushing some things toward the back in the top pantry cupboard to make room. Also, the main projector in the living room only had Apple play. We are an Android family, so we were unable to use the projector. I almost considered bringing our travel Roku, but left it at home. I would have been able to plug that into the second HDMI. There was a DVD player and Nintendo system, but I'm not sure how that would have been able to plug into the projector on the opposite wall.
Those items did not impact our enjoyment of the space at all- thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thanksgiving getaway
My husband and I, our 3 adult daughters, and our dogs stayed at this house for a long Thanksgiving weekend.
The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable and a great place for a late fall weekend. The house had everything we could possibly need, including plenty of beach and bath towels, bath soaps, shampoo,..., in the lovely bathrooms, comfortable bed linens, and any and all kitchen supplies in the fantastic kitchen where we prepared a full Thanksgiving dinner! Amazing!!
The hot tub and fire pit area in the backyard and the pool table in the large living room area were great bonuses! Every day we saw deer and wild turkeys in the backyard.
Downtown Saugatuck and Douglas were minutes away and had plenty of shops and restaurants. The area is beautiful, with beaches and incredible dunes.
My family agrees--a return trip is in our future!

True to the photos!
The Birdcage is beautifully furnished, very clean, and nicely stocked with towels, paper products, soap/detergent, and toiletry items. Communication with Juniper Holiday & Home was great. They were professional, provided timely and detailed instructions, and were extremely quick to respond to any questions/concerns. Our family really enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table. We would highly recommend this property. The only caveat is that traffic noise is fairly significant (especially in the bedrooms), given the house's proximity to the freeway. Aside from that, this house did not disappoint. It was just as nice in person as it appears in the photos!
