Great winter getaway spot
We loved staying in this beautiful home for a brief winter getaway. The house accommodates seven or eight adults perfectly and was equipped with everything we needed. We loved being able to walk to town and being pretty close to Saugatuck Dunes State Park for cross country skiing.

Girls Trip Sept. 2024
The Sunny Side Cottage is a charming updated home, right in the town of Saugatuck. This is an older home with lots of beautiful updates and everything was immaculate. Communication was perfect-before our stay, during our stay and check-out. The 5 of us loved spending our mornings drinking coffee on the front porch and hanging out on the deck at night. The hot tub was an added bonus and was very relaxing after a day walking around town. It was an easy 10min walk to downtown where you can find lots of cute shops and great food. The neighborhood is very clean and safe. Even though you are only 10mins away from town, it felt very private and quiet. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice having individual heating/cooling units in every room. The 2 twin beds were a little smaller than expected. They are twins but seem closer to a toddler size. They would be perfect for kids but some adults may find it too small. Overall, I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the Saugatuck area.
