About this property

Best Place in Town! Summer Filling Fast! Winter & Spring Getaways Are Wonderful!

Centrally located and perfectly situated! Beautiful historic Italianate home built in 1868. The Pond Winslow homestead has been awarded the prestigious Heritage Preservation award for Honor and Respect by the Saugatuck Douglas Historical Society. Located on the hill over looking the town square. The home has been beautifully updated, including kitchen, newly remodeled bathrooms and restored old growth hardwood flooring through out. First floor includes, dine in kitchen with laundry, living room, dining room, half bath, bed room (queen bed) with en-suite full bath, and glassed/screened in porch. Second floor has master bedroom (queen bed) with private sun porch, 3rd bedroom handcrafted bunk-bed (full on bottom, single on top) and full bath. Kitchen is fully out fitted Keurig pod or drip coffee (get some fresh roasted beans from Uncommon Grounds, just two blocks) - just bring your favorite food and beverages. Bedrooms and baths are complete with linens. Beautiful flag stone patio with large built in fire pit, lots of grilling accessories. 'Up North' feel in town! In laws want to come too? Ask about the additional cottage with room for two!


Quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mature trees and tranquil gardens, yet just a few steps from the thriving downtown with all of its associated activities: Shops, Antique Stores, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Bars and Coffee shops. Utilize the chain ferry and walk or ride your bike to the beautiful Oval Beach. Easy drive to the many local golf courses, Fenn-Valley Vineyards, Crane's Apple Orchard, Dune Schooners and other area attractions.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. There is short window in the spring before the leaves fully emerge that sunsets can be enjoyed on the porch!! Usually in the fall when the leaves fall, its a bit to cold.

Girl’s trip 2026! What a terrific house with an outstanding location—just a couple of blocks to downtown Saugatuck! House is very well stocked; we used the cooler and beach chairs for a day at Oval beach. The screened in porch for reading in the morning and the outdoor patio with a fire pit at night added to our stay at this special house. My friends and I have stayed at various Vrbo locations in the years we have traveled together. This, by far, was the best one!

The house was charming and homey. It was in walking distance to everything that we did downtown. The kids loved the bunk beds, rocking moose and walking through the backyard, which in my daughter’s words was enchanting with all of the spring flowers coming up. The house had everything we needed and more in it. It was very clean, had beautiful artwork and lots of fun historical features and decor. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth A. Morris

Host profile image
Hello, Happy Family Picture---traveling somewhere????. Graduated from Saugtuck High School in 1981. Family has owned the house since 1978. Bought the house from my mom 25 years back or so, planned to live there, but life got in the way!!! Get back when we can, our loss is your gain!

Why they chose this property

It is the house I grew up in, would never let it go... come visit and you will see why!!!

What makes this property unique

Wonderful old house that overlooks downtown, at least when the leaves are not on the tress. Very enjoyable as you can walk to everything in town, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Park the car at the house, and forget about it for the rest of your stay. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all up to date and in good clean condition. Additionally, local management and over site of the property ensures none of the unforeseen problems that can result from long distance newbie owners that may not be fully aware of the day to day situation.
