Perfect Waterfront Location, Close to Town:

The SaugaBuck House is located just a 5-minute drive into downtown Saugatuck and Douglas, making it easily accessible to the area's top local eateries, cafes, shops, and activities. Immersed in nature and perched along the Kalamazoo River, The SaugaBuck House comes equipped with two kayaks and two paddleboards so you can walk down to your private beach and hop in the river. After an afternoon on the water, head back to the house to fire up the grill. Enjoy dinner on the large dining table inside or have a more casual dining experience by the campfire (BYOWood). When you're ready to explore the neighborhood, you can head to one of the many wooded trails or beaches in the area. Take a drive over to Oval Beach where the sand squeaks under your feet or head to the Saugatuck Dunes State Park for a scenic hike through the dunes where the trees eventually open up to a spectacular view of Lake Michigan. Local wineries with tasting rooms are also plentiful in the area in case you and your group want to try something new.

This place has it all, it was our family of 13' s dream vacation! From the moment we walked in til the day of checkout all went smooth. The views and multilevel gathering areas, the game room, the giant master bath n bedroom w/attached hot tub porch gave us all such enjoyment. Ages 1 yo to 77 yo had a great week. The paper supplies and stuff to get ya started was a big plus as well. The Brown Family

Comfortable and peaceful!

What a beautiful setting and so much room. Even with all of the space, it was still very cozy. Each room has a special feel and offers pockets of space to get away to relax if you want or space for a group to play games. Lots of space outside as well with beautiful views! Loved it all!

Great for large family gatherings

We are a family of 12, made up of 8 adults and 4 children between the ages of 17 and 10. This house was conveniently located to town and had a lot of space to accommodate all of us in the evenings and the during the days. It had the right mix of group space and pockets for individual escape.

beautiful

The house is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a group to stay. The chairs on the deck could use some cleaning off and the hot tub was half open and on when we arrived, we did not use, didn't know if that was from previous guests or cleaning. The house provides anything you could ever need and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great time
