The house was beautiful, clean, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The host made check in and check out very smooth. We are excited to come back another year!
The house has a lot of charm and personality. It was a great place for our family to meet for vacation. We loved the spaciousness and all the many amenities. We even appreciated the Brita water filter pitcher. The location was great too. The town was quaint and quiet and the neighbors were friendly. We brought our dog and had no issues. Ben responded to any questions about our stay very promptly. I would definitely recommend this home.
A house with good common spaces for our family reunion. We liked the location as well...good to be able to walk most places. There were plenty of fragile antique furnishings but we managed not to damage any, even with several small children.
Booked this property for a family vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and quaint location as well as the functionality of the house and property.
The property provided accommodations for all- from the screened in porch, to the outdoor fire pit/table, to the hot tub, there’s comfortable space for everyone and everything.
Don’t hesitate to book this property if you’re looking for some old world hospitality!
We had a great time in Douglas. We go every year and enjoy the Douglas and Saugatuck hospitality. Ben’s home is within walking distance to just about everything. The home has two very large bedrooms upstairs that are quite comfortable. The main floor bedroom is a bit smaller, but also very comfortable. this is a perfect home for a group of friends or a family. The highlight of the house is the screened in porch. I highly recommend this home.
My extended family and I wanted to get together to celebrate my Mother’s and nephew’s birthdays. There were 10 of us in total. We have nothing but rave reviews for the host and our location. Originally, we looked at rentals in Saugatuck but decided on the quieter town of Douglas instead. We were so glad we did. Quiet. Quaint. Conveniently located. We did a fun excursion every day. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Thank You Sandra for coming to the quiet side of the Saugatuck/Douglas community. It is conveniently located and you came during one of the best weeks of the summer. Please come again sometime!
A vintage cottage with all the amenities you can imagine. Very thoughtfully set up. Within walking distance to the Douglas downtown where you can find lovely eateries, boutique shops and galleries. It's easy to get to Saugatuk, sister town to Douglas, and to Oval Beach on Lake Michigan. Saugatuk also has many boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, parks and beautiful waterway. Both town are very dog friendly, restaurants brought out water bowls for our dog and all the shops had bowls outside their store. The people are the friendliest. Lots of entertainment and events. We enjoyed a musical at the Saugatuk theater. A little piece of heaven with the best temperatures in the country during the hottest part of summer. We would go back again!
Quiet, nice location, close to many things to do. Pets did well. Plenty of space for thee small families in this historic home. There is a Weber gas grill.
My only concern were the steps... not great for young people or older people. But otherwise, overall good visit.
Also, bed in den was not sleepable.... very uncomfortable.
Owner was very communicative and helpful.
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood very convenient to walking downtown. The screened in front porch was a lovely place to enjoy a quiet afternoon with friends. There was a new hot tub, which we didn't use, and a wonderful fire pit with swivel chairs. The location of the downstairs bathroom relative to the bedroom is rather inconvenient since you have to walk through the dining room, sitting room, and front hall to get to the bathroom.
Upon arrival at Vintage Splendor I was immediately transported back to the wonderful summers I spent as a child visiting my grandmother at her summer house. Vintage Splendor is a vestige from an era when life was lived at slower pace. When days were spent enjoying an ice cold lemonade on the sun porch or doing puzzles on rainy days. Amidst the beautiful period furnishings, soaring 12-foot ceilings and claw-footed bathtubs, were more modern conveniences, like cable TV with Apple AirPlay, whole house WiFi, a sound system, bookshelves full of wonderful books and a Hot Tub on the secluded back porch. With only a five minute walk to Douglas it was easy to get to some of the area’s best restaurants like Every Day People, Wild Dog Grill and Borrowed Time. Our stay at Vintage Splendor was “Perfect” in every way and we can’t wait to come back for a future visit.
Many Thanks to our gracious host Ben who made it possible for us to have a great vacation!!
We stayed at Ben's beautiful home for Labor Day Weekend The setting could not have been more perfect. The house is very charming, and so close to the beach. We loved being able to walk downtown to the restaurants in Douglas. An amazing relaxing weekend. Thank you!
Our group of 7 had plenty of room in this large home. It was walking distance to many shops, restaurants and the water front. Douglas has the perfect small town vibe and the perfect location for day trips to Cranes Orchard, Holland, Oval Beach, etc. We spent many mornings enjoying coffee and visiting on the screened in front porch. Overall the perfect vacation spot♥️

It was a pleasure hosting Rita and her group. Very respectful of the house and cleaned up prior to their departure. You would be lucky to host them. I hope they come back again sometime.
Eight women, all related, went on this trip. (Two had to cancel out.). Ages 60’s and 70’s. We really liked the home, especially the large dining room table. We were all able to sit around and visit and play cards and board games.

Loved to host Phyllis and her friends. They communicated well and were very respectful of the home. They left it very clean on their departure and I would welcome them back anytime.
We had a great time reconnecting with four generations of family members. The house is lovely and we enjoyed several memorable dinners in the beautiful family room. We left a special chess set by accident and Ben, the host, sent it ASAP. Thank you!!! So glad we stayed in Douglas and could walk everywhere!!

We really liked it and give it the highest rating.

Great Location - Comfortable-One Problem
It was a comfortable place to vacation. The location in Douglas, MI is very nice. Short walk to Lake Michigan. The community library is next door, and has a great children's section. Boat rentals just a short walk away. Restaurants not far away.
The only significant problem is the automatic dishwasher. The door that falls rapidly is not safe, and the dishwasher doesn't clean dishes very well. It was annoying.
We enjoyed our one week stay there.

This is a fun place to be.
Our 3 generation family (8 people) spent a week at Ben's large Civil War era home. We enjoyed the large space, eating together in the dining room, playing catch in the yard, relaxing in the hot tub, walking to nearby restaurants and the grocery store/pharmacy. Additional restaurants and stores are within 10 minutes by car (in Saugatuck).
There were many things to do in the immediate area, including swimming at Oval Beach, climbing Mt. Baldhead (302 steps), and riding a dune buggy. Fresh fruit from nearby farms was a delight. We drove to nearby Holland to an indoor arcade when it rained and again to pick blueberries in the sunshine.
Ben was rapidly available by text to answer questions.
All in all, a delightful vacation.

Relaxing fun in a great spot
We really enjoyed our stay here. The three-season room was a fantastic place to relax. The dining room table had enough room for our large party. Plenty of room to unwind and not be in each other's faces at the end of the day. Kids enjoyed the Ms. Pac-Man arcade game. Would rent again.

Wonderful!
This lovely home was a great place for our group of friends. The location of this home was perfect. It was a very nice neighborhood, one block off of the main drag in downtown
Douglas, close to restaurants, lakes, and downtown Saugatuck. The screened in porch was wonderful, we spent a lot of time there. Kitchen was stocked well with everything needed to prepare a meal. The only negative was the inability to open some of the windows.

Enjoyed our visit
Our family of six adults and three children was very comfortable in this home. There was plenty of seating in the living room for all the adults to sit comfortably. The owner was very responsive to our needs and made sure that the TV channels that we wanted to watch were available. He checked with us on the day of our arrival and also on the day following to see if we had everything we needed. I really appreciated his personal contact, and we have not had that level of service from other VRBO properties. The property is located within walking distance of downtown Douglas, and we enjoyed the convenient location to the shops, grocery store, and bowling alley/restaurant. The kids and adults enjoyed the PacMan game in the laundry room. We invested several quarters in that machine, but it provided a great diversion for a winter day! I wish I could have rated this as 4.5 stars because outside of a few minor updates needed by an older home, it really was a perfect place for our family.
