Great spot in Downtown Saugatuck

Second visit here and once again it rocked! Nothing better than wandering downtown Saugatuck during the day (and evening without worrying about parking). A short drive to the beach as well as surrounding towns.

Great Location

Wonderful little place. Right in the middle of everything. Walk right into town - lots of shops. The town doesn’t really get moving until like 9 AM or so and if you’re an early bird family that’s a little difficult but overall everything was great. The house was so cool and unique. Definitely not a place for toddlers so just keep that in mind if you’re bringing little kids.

Everything was perfection! From the ease of check-in, to the cleanliness, to the wonderful insight, friendliness & recommendations of our contact person, Michael, to the central location of Saugatuck. It was a delightfully unique space located above The Butler Pantry which had a fabulous selection of coffee, wine, and delicious provisions. This has been, by far, my favorite Vrbo stay and I couldn't recommend it high enough.

Exactly what we were looking for!

This place is quirky and cozy and close to everything. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway out of the city. While it could probably use a deep clean, my family and I loved our stay.
