A truly lovely little cabin - even better than the listing with excellent use of space, thoughtful details like a wine refrigerator and heated bathroom floors, and high-quality finishes. Cozy weekend stay steps from downtown Saugatuck!

This was our second time staying at the Roost and it was just as perfect as last time! The house itself is so comfortable and quiet while also being so conveniently located to everything downtown. Check in was easy, it was very clean, and Amy is a fantastic host!
