About the host
Hosted by Dan DiPietro-James
We are a Chicago couple who loves to travel and have been renting spaces for many years around the world. One of our favorite places is the Michigan coastline, especially Saugatuck and South Haven. So we decided to buy this amazing property and curate it with all of our experience to make the perfect spot for you and yours.
Why they chose this property
Literally half way between Saugatuck and South Haven, this property is central to everything in this area, one of the most popular areas on the Michigan coastline and outside of Chicago. Its proximity to Chicago is so convenient and the beauty is outstanding.
What makes this property unique
This is a newly renovated 1901 historic property that has kept its original 1920's charm with a modern twist. It offers amazing privacy in the backyard. There are 3 bedrooms (new beds), 3 full and one ½ baths (all newly renovated with rain showers).
Walk the beautiful Lake Michigan shore and beach sporting some of the most scenic views in the entire country. There is nothing like the pure Michigan coast to restore your soul and relax the mind. Then head into Saugatuck for what is known as some of the best shopping and arts in the region. The area is especially known for antiques but there are amazing clothing, crafts, décor and other boutiques in town. After that, enjoy Saugatuck’s thriving restaurant and bar scene in one of the most idyllic coastal cities in Michigan. Or head south 10 mins to another top beach town with more great restaurants, bars, shopping and family activities in South Haven. You are right smack in the middle of these vibrant towns.
And if you feel like staying in, enjoy cocktails and food in the beautifully manicured and flowered gardens featuring a massive firepit, two pergolas, a pond, barn and some of the most stunning sunsets over the lake. If you want a covered experience park it in the rocking chairs in the wrap around screened-in porch! Oh, and that big Willow tree you see in the backyard – her name is Madame Olivia and she is the oldest in Allegan County! We’ve got cornhole, games, as well as picnic supplies too!
The property is just steps away from The Glenn Store, which has any supplies you need and serves pizza and sandwiches, which have been ranked top 10 in the state! No lie, this stuff is GOOD, ya’ll. And head over to The Creekside Kitchen serving great food, just steps away.
We also provide grocery services if you would like your fridge stocked ahead of time. Just let us know and we can arrange it. The same goes for babysitting. We will just need to know ahead of time. Welcome to the comforts of OllieWood!
