Our family had such a lovely time staying here! Perfect location for privacy but just minutes away from the beach and downtown areas. The large windows in the back overlooking the woods was our favorite part. So peaceful and a great space for our party of 5 and dogs. We’ll be back again!

So nice we stayed here twice!

We had such a lovely time at SKOVHUS last Thanksgiving, that we repeated the trip again this year. A cozy fire, gently falling snow and a lit Christmas tree made for another wonderful winter escape.

Cozy beautiful secluded cabin

Amazing and beautiful views of Michigans most scenic landscapes. The property was just as described and even had some unexpected wildlife visitors visible from the yard, LOTS of deer!

Tucked away among towering trees, this home feels less like a rental and more like stepping into a hidden woodland retreat from a storybook. From the moment you arrive, there’s an incredible sense of peace which makes you instantly exhale and slow down. The floor-to-ceiling windows completely blur the line between indoors and out, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding forest in every direction. Waking up to the soft morning light filtering through the trees felt absolutely magical.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this beautiful review, we truly appreciate it 😊 We absolutely love how you described the home, and we’re so glad it gave you that peaceful, “storybook retreat” feeling. There’s something really special about being surrounded by those trees and having the forest right outside every window. It sounds like you were able to fully slow down and soak it all in, which is exactly what we hope for our guests. We'd love to host you again anytime you’re looking for another peaceful escape! <3 The Art Coast Properties Team

This was one of our favorite VRBO rentals ever! The home was cozy and well kept. Super comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, thoughtfuldecor, great showers, and inviting lighting. The location is terrific. You feel secluded and tucked away in the woods, yet you are walking distance to the beach and into town via the ferry. We took our dog who instantly felt right at home. The perfect relaxing long weekend. We were making plans for a return visit before we left. The only addition I might suggest would be some creamers with the coffee station in case you want to make coffee before you’ve stopped at the grocery store. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend. We also found the guide book incredibly helpful!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that this was one of your favorite VRBO stays and that the home provided the cozy, relaxing getaway you were hoping for. We love hearing that you enjoyed all the little details that make a stay feel special - from the comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen to the lighting, decor, and overall atmosphere of the home. The location really is one of our favorites too, and we’re so glad you were able to enjoy that tucked away feeling while still being close to the beach, town, and everything the area has to offer. We’re also thrilled that your pup felt right at home! It’s always wonderful to hear when guests (both two- and four-legged 😉) feel comfortable and welcomed. And thank you for the helpful suggestion about adding creamers to the coffee station, we’ll definitely keep that in mind as we continue looking for ways to make the guest experience even better. We’re so glad the guidebook was helpful and that you’re already thinking about a return visit. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway anytime✨ <3 The Art Coast Properties Team

Great vibe and location

Skovhus is a great property with a quaint cabin vibe that feels secluded in the woods while also located an easy < 10 min walk in either direction to oval beach and downtown Saugatuck. The best of both worlds. Special thanks to the management/maintenance teams for quickly responding to our requests.

Fantastic Experience

We enjoyed our time at Skovhus as it was a wonderful property in a perfect location. Close to the beach & downtown Saugatuck; well-appointed house & incredibly well stocked with spices, coffee bar, teas, etc.; cozy and very clean! We had everything we needed and will be returning as soon as we can.

Modern Cabin

Property was very modern and stylish. As my wife said, you feel like you can enjoy nature without being in nature. Very close to the beach, walked there no problem with my 4 and 5 year old. Holland is an easy drive and there is much to do.

What a wonderful review of your stay, Kevin! Thank you for noticing the details that make this home so incredibly special! You're absolutely right; the property is so beautifully tucked into the dunes of Lake Michigan, making it the perfect home for a relaxing, peaceful time away! The location is unmatched, so close to Oval Beach and the surrounding towns of Saugatuck/Douglas and Holland. As an Art Coast Vacation Property, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, so you will always find a pristine environment and luxury local amenities :) Thanks for being such wonderful guests! We look forward to hosting you again in the future! <3 The Art Coast Properties Team

A lovely weekend in the woods

We booked this weekend to meet up with my husband's friends for his birthday. He has had a rough year, including back surgery, a cancer diagnosis, and subsequent cancer surgery. The peacefulness of SKOVHUS was just what he needed to get some of his happy back. We played games, watched the wilderness, and each night went to sleep in our very comfy bed, only to wake up surrounded by the Saugatuck sunshine. The house was beautifully appointed, and we felt right at home. Thank you for the stay, we will be back!

Just So Lovely

Skovhus was an incredible stay—beautifully designed, serene, and equipped with every amenity needed for comfort. The property strikes the perfect balance between modern luxury and cozy charm, and the way the views are situated to the outdoors is stunning. Management communication was excellent, making the experience seamless. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Perfect Relaxing Weekend

Hi- we had the opportunity to stay at skovhus and absolutely loved our time there! For us, it checked all the boxes- secluded in the woods (for the relaxing vibe), close to the beach and downtown, clean and updated home, and enough space for our two young kids to explore and have their own areas. What was also appreciated was all the info provided to us by the management team prior to our stay so we could thoughtfully plan out our trip. We will definitely be returning sometime soon!

A cozy, winter getaway

Our holiday in skovhus was everything we hoped for -- & more! Mother Nature brought us snow globe snow, making for the perfect backdrop for cozy days spent in front of the fire. The warm glow of the Christmas tree was an extra special surprise! The accommodations were clean, modern, and very inviting. Looking forward to a return to skovhus!

Luxurious Oasis

We stayed at this property for 4 nights, and we were blown away with the beauty and amenities this property offered. Art Coast, did and amazing job making sure every detail was perfect, and everything was thought of. We loved cooking in the gourmet kitchen, and relaxing in the spa bathroom. The home is situated in a stunning private forest setting and we loved watching wild deer and other creatures from the comfort of the living room. While the house feels secluded, it is so close to all things Saugatuck; the beach, downtown, hiking and much more. Definitely looking forward to staying here again.

Stunning surroundings

The home is absolutely stunning! We had a series of unfortunate events that made our stay less than great. The team was responsive but it wasn’t easy getting ahold of them given our urgent situations and that was frustrating. However, the environment was everything you could hope for. Thick tree canopy. Modern and stylish interior. Great for an escape from the world.
