This was a great spot for our weekend away. The location was walkable to everything we may have needed in downtown Saugatuck, and the beach was just a short drive away. The hot tub was also a plus! Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and the instructions provided were very clear.
Great place to stay for a relaxing weekend away. Perfect walking location to get to all the near by shops and attractions. Taking the bikes for a ride and dipping in the hot tub on the breezy evening was icing on the cake.
We visited the Oriole for our 15th wedding anniversary. We've been wanting to stay here for a bit, but the timing hadn't quite worked out until now. It truly is the perfect spot for a couples getaway. The parking, check-in, and the property itself makes things incredibly worry-free and there was absolutely zero of the check-in stresses I'm used to. You have a code to get in at any time, so no worries about key, and keeping them on you, or locking yourself out. Saugatuck has gotten a lot busier since the last time we've visited, so the convenience of being close to downtown, even closer to a shuttle, and having bikes if you choose really helped avoid trying to find parking downtown. The Oriole itself is perfectly clean, comfortable, and cozy. I rarely have a good sleep on a bed away from home, but the bed here is very comfortable, and we slept well both nights. The porch area is a really nice touch. You can sit and enjoy a rain storm without getting wet. The hot tub is really nice, easy to use, and has lights that you can put on in the dark. The cottage is tucked back behind the other places, so you have a good amount of privacy, and everyone else in the nearby cottages were nice and quiet, especially after 10pm. It's really the perfect place to set up base and have a romantic weekend while exploring Saugatuck
Cute spot with convenient location in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Screened porch would have been great in warmer weather but got to use hot tub with snow flakes gently falling.
Our 4th time staying! Absolutely out Saugatuck go to! Clean, cozy, private hot tub, short walk into the heart of Saugtuck! Love the dune ride, retro boats, and bowdies!
