Dogwood Creek - An Oasis
My family and I have stayed at many VRBO’s. More expensive and less expensive. This was by far our favorite! The house layout is perfect. With lots of areas to spread out! The beds were super comfortable. The amenities top notch! I would love to know where you bought your towels. Huge and extremely comfortable screened in porch over looking a meticulous yard. The property is in an outstanding location. Very homey feel but classy, decor. Not a negative thing to say! Thank you for a most enjoyable is it!

House is beautiful! Would have loved to have the porch enclosed or heated. Glass tables were beautiful but not good with a 2 year old. Kitchen was great but missing commonly used utilities such as spatula and big spoons for sauces and stirring. Rooms looked larger on the website but worked. Don’t recall seeing on the web that the temp was preset Yard was amazing! We had a wonderful time!

Great house, beautiful yard
The yard is simply perfect - the landscaping, the lawn, the screened-in porch, the fire pit - everything you want in a place to escape and get some fresh air.

This Place is a True Gem!
Saugatuck is always a first choice for our Michigan summer vacations, but this cottage made our stay even better! It was absolutely beautiful, clean, warm and inviting. I am a nature lover and gardener. The grounds were amazing, and sitting on the screened-in back porch listening to the birds was my favorite. My husband and I and adult children enjoyed listening to records on the record player. The hosts were also so accommodating. Even though there were many outdoor recreational items provided, we inquired about corn hole. The hosts purchased and had two corn hole games there before we even arrived! The cottage is close enough to walk to town, but far enough to have peace and quiet. Dogwood Creek will be at the top of our list to rent again! Deserves 5++ stars!
