About this property

Saugatuck Harbor Luxury A-Frame, View of Downtown

Known locally as The A-Frame of Saugatuck, this historic landmark was originally built in the 1950s, and in 2022, the Sinchaks decided to renovate the home while preserving as much of its historic nature as possible. The home remains less than 15 feet from the water’s edge and its iconic, A-shaped roof remains its most recognizable feature.
As A-frames are known for their interior abundance of natural light, this home’s entire waterfront has become a wall of windows with expansive, unrivaled view of the water and downtown Saugatuck. Plus, the interior of the home has been expanded to include bedrooms, lofts, and luxury modern home amenities like a rooftop deck veranda. During holidays, the panoramic firework views are unparalleled.
A unique property requires a spectacular location, which is why The A-Frame of Saugatuck is positioned directly across the lake from downtown Saugatuck. Yet, it doesn’t only have the most spectacular views of the entire downtown, the A-frame is a short walk away from Saugatuck’s famous public Chain Ferry, which shuttles our guests downtown, no driving or parking necessary.
The A-Frame of Saugatuck provides a rare combination of Saugatuck Harbor and private dock, downtown restaurants and dune hiking at Mount Baldhead, access to Lake Michigan and a harbor full of boats, music, and amazing views. Like we said, spectacular.
A-Frames are known for cozy interiors, but also a lack of square footage – not so at this expertly renovated and expanded home. In keeping with the historic nature of the house, the open floor plan of the main room is a nautical dream and includes two bedrooms, full bath, and kitchen, while the second floor has been expanded to include a second-story veranda, bedroom, full bath, and a loft-style living area. The third floor loft, accessible by ladder, is simply an added bonus. The perfect place to nap, read, and take in the views.

Outside, a natural gas grill is accompanied by outdoor seating, a firetable, and jacuzzi. So whether your family and friends want to gather round the island for a late-night treat, indulge in a feast of local delicacies, or grill the perfectly cut steak, The A-Frame of Saugatuck is a special place to celebrate your loved ones through food.


The A-Frame is a truly extraordinary experience, providing the best views, amenities, and historical significance that will outshine anything else you might find in the area. Stay with us and revel in the Lux.
MAIN LEVEL: 1 king bedroom, 1 queen bedroom, 1 full bathroom, kitchen and living area
SECOND STORY: 1 queen bedroom, 1 full bathroom, loft-style living area, exterior door to outdoor 2nd story veranda overlooking downtown Saugatuck, washer and dryer

Great family stay

This was a uniquely beautiful and well kept property. Property owner was very responsive, and checked-in during our stay. Check-in process was easy. Located on the water and was beautiful for a December stay. Hot tub was such a treat! We will return in the summer and recommend this property.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I absolutely adore this A frame. It’s impeccably clean and very comfortable. We ended up having a free weekend last minute so I took a shot and contacted the property owner. Not only did she reply quickly, she was graciously able to accommodate our last minute request! We had an amazing weekend in Saugatuk and look forward to returning!

A+ for the Saugatuck A-frame

Quick weekend getaway to close out the summer with our family of four. The home was spectacular. Right on the water with views of downtown Saugatuck. The house has a wonderful and unique layout that we really enjoyed. Great to sit outside in the morning for coffee. We had a great time.

Awesome house and perfect location.

This is the coolest house in the areas and really stands outs. The views are amazing. The house has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and was perfectly clean. Locations is perfect with walking distances to mount baldhead or oval beach (little further of a walk) or a quick ferry ride across to down. We had our school age boys with us and they loved the experience as much as the adults. We'll be back!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway!

Fantastic property with easy access to downtown Saugatuck! We were able to catch the chain ferry to downtown easily and avoid the hassles of parking. The property had great beds, all the kitchen supplies and ample gathering areas to make the most of the property. Would absolutely recommend!

Book it!

Beautifully restored A-Frame with great fit and finish. Pictures are spot on and location can’t be beat. We sat on the deck and watched the boats go by and enjoyed Fourth of July fireworks! Kids loved the hot tub and it was easy to catch the chain link ferry to downtown. We walked to the beach through the wooded path and enjoyed all the beautiful area had to offer. Great stay! We would definitely stay here again!

Quick Spring Getaway

This was one of the most impressive properties that I have stayed at. Our host was very responsive and open to requests. She had some great local coffee stocked when I inquired about it. The local bottle of red wine was another great touch. The photos of the property are very accurate but you can't truly appreciate how close to the water you are until you are on site, it really is only 15 ft away so you feel like you're right on top of the lake. I live on a lake so I'm not that easily impressed.We did not use the fire pit but having the hot tub outside to relax in during the evening was great, especially since the weather was cooler. You have great views over the lake and into saugatuck. I give this rental highest marks across the board, a definite recommendation for any considering it.

Great Stay

Erica’s A-Frame was an amazing property in a prime location for summer Saugatuck fun. We were within easy walking distance to the chain ferry to downtown and Mount Baldhead park. There was ample parking for our four cars and a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces that let everyone enjoy their time. The home was very clean and well-decorated, with a fully-stocked kitchen for cooking. Erica was a very accommodating host and easy to work with through a few scheduling and location changes.

Even better in person !

We had an absolutely five-star stay at this stunning property! Every detail was high-end, from the incredibly comfortable beds to the fully equipped kitchen that had everything we could possibly need for cooking. The home was spotless and featured fantastic amenities, including a luxurious hot tub, a gas grill perfect for outdoor meals, and a cozy gas fire table for relaxing evenings.The location is unbeatable-just steps from the water, offering breathtaking views that made every moment magical. There was plenty of parking available, which made coming and going a breeze. We loved fishing off the pier, catching both bass and pike.This place truly combines luxury and comfort, with stunning waterfront views that create the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Erica Sinchak

Host profile image
Our family has been visiting the Saugatuck/Douglas, Michigan area most of our life. We hold a million sepia-colored memories in our heads. As Chicagolanders, we escape suburbia for the dunes, beaches, and woodlands of the Lake Michigan shoreline every chance we get.

We enjoy the area so much that I thought others should too. At a time when the town was still quiet and homey, I started on a journey of building true vacation destinations that are unique from anything you would find in suburbia, true cabins that drive relaxation and escape.

With no appetite for owning or managing rundown, churn-n-burn properties, we prefer to focus on high-end vacation homes with incredible amenities. In order to deliver value to our guests, the properties themselves became more than places to stay, they became experiences. Providing an experience is a combination of a unique property, different than anything our guests have at home, quality in-house amenities, unique exterior amenities such as location, and on-property activities such as jacuzzi, pools, and fire features. Finally, the experience is topped off with special treatment and high-attention from the management company (quite literally, us).

Someone once told me, “After kids, you don’t go on vacation. You visit places.” I didn’t want that for Lakewood Lux. I wanted to make each property family-friendly with the comforts of home. We splurge on high-end items like kitchen appliances, pots and pans, serveware, linens and towels to ensure a guest experience that is like or better than home. Then, we make sure all the amenities are maintained by professionals. Folks work hard to earn their vacations, and I wanted to ensure their visits were pleasantly clean, comfortable, and fun, because that’s what I would want.

Revel in The Lux.
