Perfect location

We stayed 5 nights at the Tree House. It was very spacious and well-equipped. Parking required a little effort but we were always able to park within a block or two. Property managers were easy to reach. Be aware that there are 22 steps from the street level to the rental. Kilwin’s fudge and ice cream next door! Very quiet Monday- Thursday but the music from the bar on Friday night was very loud in the bedroom facing the street.

Great weekend getaway with friend.

Wow what a great spot to stay. Well appointed space. Super clean and comfortable. It was a close walk to many places we came to see. Hosts were super helpful and responsive. If you’re coming to this area. This is a great choice of accommodations. A true great value.

Treehouse stay

Love the property. Great location, clean and well decorated. The wet bar was a nice surprise. Amazing artwork; like staying in a gallery. I know it’s late season, but only complaint would be outdoor deck is worn down and messy. Weather was nice and we would have enjoyed sitting out there

Superb location, even better customer service

The property is fantastic. Everything was very clean. Right in the middle of everything in Saugatuck, you can walk to so.many places. A gas leak in the next town caused the property to lose its gas connection for the last few days of our stay, and it was quite chilly out. The ownership contacted me immediately and offered to move us, but we opted to stay in this great spot. They brought us space heaters and checked in on us multiple times. Excellent customer service. We look forward to staying here again. There is a very large staircase to get into the property, as it's located above a couple of the downtown shops. Be prepared for that. It was a little daunting to get our bags in the first day, but it did not take away from the wonderful experience we had.

Long Weekend

The property was in the center of town and we could walk to everything. Beautifully decorated but could have used more comfortable chairs and better lighting for reading. The back deck was still messy and uninviting as other reviews stated so we never went out there. Our friends had the front bedroom and had a hard time sleeping. Very noisy. New windows there would be a great improvement. We had a great stay overall and enjoyed our weekend.

Saugatuck Golf Trip

This is the 2nd time our group has stayed at this property and you can't beat the location. The communication was perfect, I didn't have any questions as to how to access the space, or what the rental rules were, or what the apartment was equipped with. The space is wonderful and kept clean, with the exception of the back patio/deck. We were a little disappointed in the condition of the deck (some rotting boards and bags of dirt with weeds or plants growing out of them, kind of hard to maneuver and sit out there). There is also a window boarded up in the back bedroom which is a little unsettling and wasn't apparent when booking the property. We wondered if that window had been missing when we stayed 2 years prior, but can't be certain. We also couldn't use the TV without logging into our own streaming accounts, which is a little frustrating. We were hoping to watch the local news, and some football at the apartment, but ended up finding a local bar to watch. Overall it was a great space to stay in, but giving 4 stars for the condition of the deck and the boarded window.

Great location, clean, but window and AC issues

You can’t beat the location! The decor/home itself was clean. The issues were the following: AC would not get cold- thankfully we had cooler nights when we were there, but I can’t image being there on a day 70 degrees or more. We use the fans provided at night because it was so hot. It would have been been better if we could open the windows, but one of the windows in the “primary bedroom” is gone and wooden board is there in its place. The other window wouldn’t open. The screen door on the back patio is completely ripped open. Asthmatics should think twice before renting. Mold/mildew issues blew up everyone’s allergies (plus the AC not kicking in didn’t help). Had spiders and ants in the bed. Not an issue of cleanliness, but an issue of poor structure/lack of proper sealing in the space. We did not reach out to management during our stay as we were basically only there to sleep and didn’t want to deal with it. Linens/towels/bathroom and kitchen products provided were great- plenty and exactly what was needed. The space itself is perfect for two couples- completely separate bed and bath areas.

Location location location! Fantastic location that you cannot beat! Large apartment with great amenities, big enough for the whole family. Two full bedrooms with comfy beds, and two full bathrooms. Wet bar in the master suite, in house laundry and a great back deck to take in your morning coffee or watch the sun go down. Overall though, you just can't beat the location. You can walk anywhere in Saugatuck from this rental, so park the car a few streets over and leave it parked the entire trip! Definitely would rent again.

Walking distance to everything

We had never been to the area & really didn't know what area to pick. This location was perfection. We were all thrilled. We could walk to every shop, restaurant, drop off our bags, shop some more.. The space was spread out so you could have personal space. We discussed booking again.

Spacious, bright and eclectic apartment in the middle of town

Really unique apartment overlooking downtown Butler Street. Fantastic views of the winter decorations and lights from large street-side windows (which still felt private, sheltered by large apple trees). High-ceilinged, spacious and comfortable main unit (open living room/dining room with gas fireplace; bedroom, bath, well-equipped kitchen) with a full second suite -- king sized bed, bathroom, full wet bar/kitchenette -- off the common foyer. Funky decor with interesting paintings and objets d'art throughout; generous and comfortable furnishings. Probably not the best place for families with small children (too many fragile tippy things; steep stairs).
