Craig, thank you for your thoughtful review of Jan‘s cottage. It is a charming, romantic setting just a couple of houses away from Saugatuck, Maine and busy downtown area. However, it’s set back on a dead end cul-de-sac and is extremely quiet with little if any traffic noise. Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Please come again another time to stay with us.

The cottage was perfect for us. The location is ideal, so we didn’t drive at all between arrival and departure. The updated bathroom and kitchen, and new mattresses, meant that we experienced both old-fashioned charm and modern conveniences.

This was our second year staying at the property- once again it was perfect for us. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants, yet peaceful retreat when you are ready to relax. Well stocked kitchen with everything you would need for your stay. Parking on site is very convenient as well. Gary and Jan communicated with us prior to, during, and as we were leaving - ensuring no issues or concerns with the property. Having our pets with us made our vacation all the more enjoyable. Look forward to staying again.

We visited in October. Those who have sensitives to smells should know that the house and it appears the region exhibits a high prevelance of must and mildew in the air. I have sensitivities to this and got an instant headache upon arrival. That being said the owners were friendly, thoughtful and helpful. They went above and beyond to address the issue and accommodate our needs. We had an enjoyable stay.

Unfortunately this guest has great sensitivities to the smell of wet leaves. It had rained for 3 days before their arrival lots and lots of leaves have fallen and lots and lots of rain. We could all smell the wet leaves in the air. I'm not sure she could have been happy anywhere in saugatuck with her sensitivities. They were very nice couple and I'm glad we could help them enjoy their stay as much as possible.

Terrific location just a couple blocks from the chain ferry and band gazebo. The on-site laundry is very helpful, especially with the bring-your-own-towels policy. You should also bring your own spices if you plan to cook, since the kitchen just has salt and pepper. Hosts were excellent communicators. Would stay again.

Stayed at Jan’s cottage for a week. What a wonderful location, within walking distance of everything. The Venetian festival was held during our stay, along with the art fair. We could go and enjoy, and come back and rest. Nice quiet street, and very nice yard with deck in back. The cottage had all we needed for a comfortable stay! We will certainly return in the future.

We especially loved the backyard area after a night enjoying the town.Jan was wonderful with communication - she reached out prior to our arrival, checked in on our first day and followed up on our last day. We were in great hands!When we return, we will stay here.

These were great guests and I'm so glad they enjoyed the yard. There's a lovely chimenea and we furnish a few ever burning logs there's also a great string of lights so it gives a very party patio feel. We love the little cottage and so glad we can share it with our guests.

Thanks for your positive comments about Jan's cottage. It is very centrally located yet you have two off-atreet parking places which become very critical during high traffic times sowntown. So glad you enjoyed the stone patio and chiminea. It does create a very cozy space with great privacy from any pedestrian or traffic noise. Come bacj anytime you' can, you'll always be welcome
