Just say yes to this place!

Everything everyone has said in the comments is true. The house is big, lots of room, and the house was well equipped. The house was outfitted with higher end furniture, appliances, kitchenware, well worth the money. The only thing we were not too excited about was having to figure out the TV, they did not have any cable or channels you could just turn on - had to mirror your phone and use that on the TV. Overall, a great place!!

Perfect Saugatuck Property

The Maple House was the best place my family has stayed in Saugatuck over the years. We’ve been to many different VRBO’s as we live coming to Saugatuck. All were very nice, but this one fit my family best and the fenced in backyard was great, so we could bring our dogs. Clean and well organized directions for everything. Will definitely come back.

Family wedding

Came here for a family wedding at the Ivy House. Perfect location for the venue and close to downtown Saugatuck and local beaches. This was one of the cleanest vacation rentals we ever stayed at. Beautiful grounds and very roomy. Highly recommend for a relaxing vacation home.

Great stay in Saugatuck

We loved the screened in porch for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would have liked to walk to town, but we ended up driving to shop, eat and walk the shoreline. The host of the Maple House thought of everything a traveler could need and the house was so tastefully decorated. An added benefit, the property is dog friendly with a fenced in yard. Great holiday experience.

Amazing Property

This house is conveniently located near downtown Saugatuck, but the amenities give little reason for you to leave. The front porch is amazingly livable, and you can retire to the three seasons room when the bugs come out to play at night. Warm, inviting, and comfortable ~ an amazing property!
