Really enjoyed our stay. I was a tad worried about the lack of window blinds, but honestly it didn’t bother me once I was there. We were there to run the mt. Baldhead challenge and absolutely loved the experience! We were able to walk to the start line from the cabin. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch :), Hopefully will be back next year!

Had a great time. The host, Erica, offered to upgrade our stay to a cabin with an indoor shower since it was chilly this weekend. The cabin was great. Very clean and well-equipped. Erica was very kind and responsive. I would definitely recommend this property.

We had a great 2-night stay! Waking up to that view is awesome!! A unique vacation rental that felt quaint and cozy! Not much for privacy as there are no curtains/blinds. For us, it added to the fun “treehouse” experience but something to be aware of! Would come back and recommend!

Dune Buggy Cottage was a wonderful little escape for our honeymoon. The cottage was exactly like the pictures, the host left plenty of towels and dishes for us to use. The kitchenette was nice but we did not use the stove part. The natural climate inside the cabin while we stayed there was perfect. We adored the all-season room but there are some holes in the screen so bring bug spray or a citronella candle. The hot tub was nice even though it was an awkward walk to get there from our cottage. If sharing the area with others, be prepared to hear the conversations of those staying at the in other parts of the common area. Overall loved this place. Saugatuck itself is a gem mine of lovely restaurants and cute shops. We loved walking up and down the downtown area. Our favorite restaurant was The Singapore Room with The Old Boat House being a close second. We plan on coming back this fall for our anniversary to check out Douglas more.

Cottage getaway

Cottage was super cute and perfect for two! We loved our visit there. The shower needed to be cleaned up better with more hot water for two to shower. The floor was also sandy felling so a broom and dustpan would have helped greatly.

The rating is for the Overlook Cottage. We were switched from the Dune Buggy Cottage by the host because it was double booked. It turned out great. The Overlook is a bit bigger and charming and has a better view. Photos don’t show steep climb and close neighbors.

Great location & cute cottage! Only downsides were: shared fire pit, lack of hot water, lack of privacy while showering, & TV only on porch which that furniture is not comfortable & it’s nice to be able to lay in bed to watch TV but couldn’t since it was on porch. Would had probably chose another place to stay if I would have known those things before hand. Owner is kind & communication was great! If things I mentioned above could be fixed, would stay here again!

Perfect Getaway

The dune buggy cottage was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. The “vibe” was perfect for a relaxing weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The screened in porch was our favorite, drinking our morning coffee , listening to the bird chirping, watching deer and wild life was the perfect way to start our mornings. Our host Erica was amazing, she helped with any questions we had almost immediately. If you like the outdoorsy feel with being actual inside BOOK this place now! We will definitely be back!

The cabin was super cozy and perfect for the Fall weather. Other cabins were close. Would love option for curtains, but windows were lovely. Woke up to multiple deer right outside our windows every morning. Close to Saugatuck and Douglas. Fire pit and hot tub are shared and are located on porches of the other cabins. There is signage that indicates that they are shared with all three cabins. The fire pit has an amazing view of the river. You can hear music from the restaurant across the river at night. It's so calming. We had a magical time and would highly recommend. The only issue was the shower. It isn't as private as we were used to. A curtain option would be ideal there as well.

Surprise trip

The Buggy is so awesome! I surprised my wife with a last minute trip to Saugatuck. We had a great time enjoying the hot tub surrounded by trees. Even used the outdoor shower, plenty of hot water for us. The refrigerator and stovetop were adequate but clothes storage is lacking. We walked to the beach, took the chain ferry when possible and walked and shopped and ate. I enjoyed sitting in the screened porch and listening to the sounds of partying. We will check availability when we decide on our next visit. Great location, better once road construction is complete. Additionally, if you want to drive to the oxbow and crow’s nest trails take Park road towards and past Mt Baldhead Steps and continue through the subdivision to get to the trailheads. Disregard the “do not turn around in driveways signs” , there are many places to turn around without offending a “homeowner “.

way below expectations

unfortunately, we were very disappointed in the accommodations. It did indicate that there was an outdoor shower. However, we did not realize it was the only shower also, the shower curtain was half ripped off the shower stall itself with only two sided, leaving one open side to the neighbors and had large cobwebs in it and indicated we would be able to share a hot tub and a fire pit with other residents which would’ve been fine except that the hot tub was on the other person‘s deck, and the fire pit was outside the other persons side door, which would’ve been very rude to participate in it indicated that the hot water heater was small. There was less than two minutes of hot water for each shower and they had to be spaced about 45 minutes apart as an insurance person I would say that the steps leading to the location along with the railing or an extreme liability hazard, the railing itself was weak at best , the fireplace had loose rocks and sand around the bottom of it, which made it a hindrance also . there were two space heaters one worked great one was pointless. The city of Saugatuck Oval Beach in the surrounding areas will bring us back.

Thank you for the review; we greatly value the experiences of our guests and appreciate all feedback. We encourage all guests to be well informed of the property features by reviewing the detailed textual description, photos, and video in this listing and on our website. We reach out to each guest after booking to confirm their understanding of the property. Across hundreds of Dune Buggy guests this is the first we have heard of these concerns. Dune Buggy is a remarkable Saugatuck property that provides a three-season experience in the woods. This property is not for everyone, especially in the colder months. We inquire with guests during their stay and regret that we never heard back. The absence of communication hinders our ability to correct or prevent any displeasure. In the event we are made aware of any concerns during the stay, we can accommodate them with an upgrade to another cottage in the compound. We have reached out to ensure you are satisfied with the value of your stay and, considering this review and new information, hope you are receptive to our resolution.
