About this property

Butterfly Cottage - Unique Cottage located in Historic Downtown Saugatuck

Butterfly Cottage is a truly unique cottage located in the Historic district of Saugatuck. Casual cottage styling mixed with colorful spaces, this cottage makes for a comfortable stay in Saugatuck. This quaint cottage will accommodate 8 or 9 people comfortably.

The main house has two bedrooms; one with a queen sized bed and the other with a full. The bungalow, just steps away in the backyard, serves as the third bedroom and has heat and air conditioning. The bungalow has a queen size bed and also bunk beds. The bungalow has a full bath that was added in 2011. As an added convenience, there are no steps getting into the bungalow.

Located in the heart of the village district, plan on walking to all the in-town locations. The river is just a few hundred feet away with shops, restaurants and parks located within a 3-10 minute walk. If you are familiar with Saugatuck, Butterfly cottage is a stone's throw from the public boat launch, Gleason's market and Ida Reds.

We are happy to be one of the few places to welcome well mannered pets in our cottage. An added plus, the back yard is fully fenced. Please note that if you plan on bringing your pet, you need to include them in your booking. When you are inputting the number of guests, you will want to make sure you add "Yes" to the pet question as well as to include the pet information in the booking. There is an extra cleaning fee of $100 if you let me know in your booking. If there is any evidence of a pet being at the home without you including this in the booking, there will be a charge of $500.

Off street parking for 1 larger vehicle or 2 smaller ones. There is also additional parking on the street right in front of the home when available.

The cottage behind the main butterfly cottage was damp and musty.Some of the blinds in the main house were hard to close since the mechanism to close them were broke. The house just needs a face lift, it was very tired.

A lovely cottage in a fabulous location. We walked into town everyday, rode our bikes to Douglas Beach every day. Quiet street, so slept well:) Wish the back yard was a bit bigger and had flowers/garden interest in it (flowers all over Saugatuck...so pretty). All our questions were answered quickly. Definitely recommend this charming home, especially if you do not mind a smaller yard.

What an adorable cottage in an amazing location. For the price point I had wished it was better appointed overall. No toiletries were available. There is a coffee maker but we were told filters weren’t available (we got lucky and someone left extras). There was no access to streaming services. We would love to return in the future during the warmer months!

Love the Butterfly Cottage!

This was my second time staying at the Butterfly Cottage, and it’s such a special place. It is perfect for a girls trip - we had the best time hanging out at the house, and it’s also a very short walk right into town for coffee, shopping, and dining! I highly recommend the Butterfly Cottage and can’t wait to come back!

Great location in Saugatuck

The home is located just steps away from great restaurants and shopping in downtown Saugatuck. The home was very clean and our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. It is a perfect home for a family visiting the area!!
