Quaint Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the cottage was updated and clean! Our host was available and very accommodating and honest! We left a little cash behind in a drawer and he contacted us immediately! The lake is small and very peaceful, kayaks and paddle boat available for our use which was really nice, my grand daughter really enjoyed touring the lake. I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful cabin

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 kids (4 and under) and we had a great, relaxing week. We loved the cabin, it was very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. The air conditioning units were very nice too. Brian was very friendly, prompt to respond to us, and a suberb host. The grounds are very well kept and we enjoyed using the kayaks, paddle boat, and the sand beach with beach toys for our boys. Overall, very pleasant stay and we had a wonderful time here! Thank you!

Idyllic, this property and overall experience! Loved it here and the proximity to Saugatuck while also having such a quiet, pristine and easy-to-access smaller lake to paddleboard on and lose any sense of time or “urgency”: exactly what we needed!We appreciated the grill in the evenings on the first story deck, as well as the gorgeous landscaping surrounding the cottage. 10/10 would stay again. Thank you very much, Brian & Debbie!!

Cozy Cottage

Very nice, cozy, two-bedroom cottage by Goshorn Lake near Saugatuck, MI. Not as close to the lake as we thought it might be, but just a little walk away. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Nice quiet beach. Town just minutes away. Gracious hosts. We appreciated having access to a washer and dryer too.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was everything I expected and more. Our adult kids loved the paddle boat and spent the evenings fishing for bass. Do not go to the store for things until you check all the cabinets. The hosts have you covered with almost every kitchen item you need. The Sullivan’s are incredible host!

Just as described! We had a wonderful stay, both Brian and the cottage were warm and welcoming. We were very cozy, the accommodations were very comfortable and we had everything we need to cook and hang out as it was a pretty chilly weekend for late May. This was a family of four trip and the location was perfect. Short drive to Holland and Saugatuck. Great spot to explore the area. Very quiet and relaxing. We slept great! Brian was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We hope to come again!!
