Nicest location in town! Beautiful historic Italianate home built in 1868.

Located on the hill over looking the town square. The home has been beautifully updated, including kitchen, newly remodeled bathrooms and restored old growth hardwood flooring through out. First floor includes, dine in kitchen with laundry, living room, dining room, half bath, bed room (queen bed) with en suite full bath, and glassed/screened in porch.

Kitchen is fully out fitted - just bring your favorite food and beverages. Bedrooms and baths are complete with linens. Beautiful flag stone patio with large built in fire pit, lots of grilling accessories. 'Up North' feel in town! In laws want to come too? Ask about the additional cottage with room for two!
Quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mature trees and tranquil gardens, yet just a few steps from the thriving downtown with all of its associated activities: Shops, Antique Stores, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Bars and Coffee shops. Utilize the chain ferry and walk or ride your bike to the beautiful Oval Beach.

Why Kenneth A. Morris chose Southwest

What makes this house unique
Wonderfull old house that overlooks downtown, at least when the leaves are not on the tress. Very enjoyable as you can walk to everything in town, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Park the car at the house, and forget about it for the rest of your stay. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all up to date and in good clean condition. Additionally, local management and over site of the property ensures none of the unforeseen problems that can result from long distance owners that may not be fully aware of the day to day situation.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(27 traveler reviews)
The house and grounds were perfect. Everything you could need for a relaxing time was there.
Our friends from Ireland and we had a terrific time. The house couldn't have been more comfortable or in a better location. We really enjoyed sitting around the fire, dodging acorns, laughing and reminiscing. We plan on making it a tradition!
Great home, walking distance to everything, full of amenities
This property has lots of room to spread out and enjoy. Kitchen is fully stocked with lots of extras so nothing is needed except food and drinks, as the owner states. Screened in porch and outside sitting area are great spaces to relax and enjoy. Beds were very comfortable and the home is very clean. It's right in town so walking distance to all the restaurants and the boardwalk. I would definitely want to rent this home again.
Great house for a family vacation!
We loved the yard - great family time with bonfires and running around the yard!!
Loved it!!
This is probably one of the cutest houses in Saugatuck. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in!! Would definitely recommend this home and would enjoy staying here again when the weather is warmer and there is more going on in town. We knew it was going to rain so we brought movies to watch but surprised to find out that there does not seem to be a DVD player?
Great Holiday Get Away
This wonderful home is the perfect venue for hosting a large family or group event in Saugatuck. Accompanied by cheerful cracking of fire in the fireplace, we were able to host family meals and holiday gatherings with friends and family. Simply put, it was fantastic!
And, following checkout, when we realized a watch had been forgotten by one of our party, Ken helped arrange a speedy recovery and handoff. Much appreciated effort and follow through.
We wholeheartedly recommend the home. And, look forward to returning in the future.
Perfection
Phenomenal!!! Nothing less than perfect from location to smallest detail.
