Our 2nd stay, we love it here. The cabin is perfect for just the 2 of us, and everything is a short walk. We will definitely be back.

It was a very nice house, in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to downtown Saugatuck. The parking was a nice bonus. The owner answered all of my questions. Would definitely go back.

Sweet little stay

This cabin was so cozy and in a great location—a short walk to the water and all the shops and restaurants. Easy check in/out procedure. Just what we needed for a fall weekend trip!

Great stay

We have stayed at this cottage several times over the years and just stayed there again over the past weekend. It is perfect for a place to park your car and walk around the city. We will stay there again should our travels take us to Saugatuck.

Perfect cozy cottage

Will return again!

This property is not like the pictures! The place is small but absolutely perfect for 2 people! It had everything that we needed for the few days that we stayed. We were in walking distance to downtown Saugatuck, which was great given that on the weekends there is no parking!! Douglas and Oval beach are less than 10 minutes away. Everything we needed was so close by to where we stayed. Communication with the property manager was fantastic, they answer so quickly. The cute little house was something that everybody loved as they walked by. If you are thinking of staying in Saugatuck, this is the place!

Getaway

We had a great stay! Perfect area downtown saugatuck. Not far from Douglas or Holland, we even spent part of a day in Grand rapids. Definitely very tight space, but good use of the space with how everything is set up.

So Cute! I'd Stay Again!

This was such a sweet little cottage! My stay was only for a couple of nights and it was just me - the size is perfect for one! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the bed wasn't the most comfortable, but it was fine for the short amount of time I was there.

Convenient & Relaxing

It was located in a quiet neighborhood,.. Cute shot-gun looking house. The shower would be a problem if your obese or Tall, I didn’t have an issue as I’m shorter. It’s perfectly located away from busy, but close enough to walk to busy district. I definitely will be back.
