About this property

Cabernet Cottage minutes away from downtown & Oval beach! Hot Tub/Bonfire/Patio

Charming cottage located in the heart of beautiful Saugatuck. Cabernet Cottage, with its 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, private backyard with a hot tub and generous patio space, appeals to guests looking for a place to relax outdoors but still close to all the shopping, restaurants and entertainment downtown Saugatuck has to offer.

The main floor bedroom boasts a Queen bed and beautiful morning light through two large East facing windows. Three guest bedrooms and a half bath occupy the upstairs and include Queen beds in two rooms and two Twin beds in the other.

The living room which is bright and open to the kitchen is complete with a large incredibly comfortable sectional couch, tv and fireplace. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and is accommodating to cooking meals for the group. Off the kitchen is a formal dining room which opens up to one of the two outside decks.
Opening from the kitchen are full length glass french doors that draw you out to the hot tub and accompanying deck. The bricked patio space seats eight and is complemented wonderfully by a gas grill.
Enjoy smores on bonfire located on the side of the house, as shown in pictures.

Cabernet Cottage is great as a homebase for enjoying downtown Saugatuck only a half mile away and renowned Oval Beach only 5-7 minutes away by car. There is enough space to play outside during the day, grill out or just relax with a glass of wine and at night have a stress relieving soak in the hot tub.

Hot tub is available all year round. Coach house by the patio, used mostly for storage, is not guaranteed for availability.
We have a local professional cleaning company that cleans for us and a local laundry facility that cleans our linens for every reservation. Assuring you of a clean home for your stay.

We really enjoyed our mini college reunion, the house easily accommodated the five of us. We enjoyed the outdoor space, perfect for chatting and playing games. The house is in a wonderful location, a short walk to Saugatuck’s shops and restaurants. Also very close to Douglas, which has some very good restaurants too!

About the host

Hosted by Kim

Host profile image
My name is Kim and I live with a husband and 3 adorable kids. I love nature, biking, hiking, having fun at the beach or playing outside on the lawn. Saugatuck reminds me of an European city and that's why I decided to have a vacation home here.

Why they chose this property

I have searched for many places near the lake and stopped when I found Cabernet Cottage in Saugatuck. It has an amazing feel of home; it's cozy, warm and inviting. It also has a great front yard area, where I like to play outdoor games with kids or friends. It also has a large patio area with a grill and bonfire and 5 person hot tub, where we can relax after busy day.

What makes this property unique

I love the charm of Saugatuck and you will love it too. At my cottage you will be able to relax, host a party, get away with friends or simply have a family gathering. Nearby restaurants, closeness to the beach, wineries or several golf courses makes the Cabernet Cottage a perfect spot for anyone.
