Girl's Weekend Trip
The five of us had a wonderful getaway at the Frances Cottage in Saugatuck. The cottage was conveniently located and within walking distance to town for shopping, dining and walks along the river. Uncommon coffee Roasters was one of our favorite early morning walks for our special brewed coffee. Our check-in was slightly delayed because the cottage is being totally renovated but the management company provided a partial refund for our first day. They were very responsive. Randy was a great host and the upgrades to the cottage are beautiful. We would highly recommend this VRBO to others. Thank you for the wonderful weekend.

FAB girls weekend
We are group of 10 friends that worked together and are, let’s just say over 50. We get together monthly and sometimes let the hubbies join. Not this time. The kitchen/dining area was PERFECT for this eat, drink and be merry, (and loud) friend group. Just enough sleeping spaces and clean well appointed home. Great neighborhood! 9 min walk to town. We even had the local high school Homecoming parade pass us and throw candy. Kitchen has large fridge and several coffee pots, (thank you). Great weekend!

Nice cottage for a group of friends and great management company
Enjoyed the house. It’s a good size for 8 people. The fire pit in the back was a hit with our group. Awesome central location to Saugatuck. The management company was very commutative from start to finish. We had a small plumbing issue and I was kept in the loop about it being revolved. I very much enjoyed the texting communication channel and also the email details of happenings in the area. Would stay here again when traveling with a group of friends.

Wonderful vacation home
Great location within walking distance of downtown Saugatuck. House is a well-maintained century home. Very well-equipped with a nice back yard featuring a deck and patio with a nice fire pit. Kitchen had everything a family needed to prepare meals. Bathrooms were clean and very functional for an active family. Bedrooms were comfortable. Driveway easily accommodated three cars. Was on the Fourth of July parade route! Lots of fun for the kids. Plan to rent again.
