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.
