The cabin was wonderful for our family! Great location with a view of the lake, near many local attractions. We were able to walk the trail to Oval Beach, and all other spots were a short drive.

Our stay was great! The location is wonderful. Just a few minutes drive and you're at Oval Beach. The cabin itself is charming. The screened in porch was our favorite hangout spot for morning coffee and afternoon card games. The perfect place to spend our end of summer vacation!

The host of this property was very attentive and resolved an issue with the washer mashing asap. It’s a beautiful cabin with awesome views! Please note the 35 steps to get to the property. The only recommendation I would make is it would be much improved if there were a mechanism to hang up clothes and hooks to hang wet towels after showering. Many fun times ahead in this cabin!!

Big Red Cottage was the perfect peaceful getaway with family. The cottage was adorable with string lights, interesting decor and all the right touches! Tons of towels and supplies, the host thought of EVERYTHING! Hot tub worked incredibly and beds super comfortable! The views on the wrap around screened in porch made for plentiful games and discussions!

Great get away

The big red cottage allowed us to enjoy a perfect getaway. We enjoyed Saugatuck, Holland and Douglas while we were there. Having dinners on the porch while listening to the music from across the river was wonderful! The hot tub was an additional bonus! Thank you so much for hosting us!

Winter ladies trip

My friend and I needed some post-Christmas girls trip fun and relaxation, and the Big Red Cabin was the perfect spot! We enjoyed exploring Saugatuck and Holland, even with a few rainy days. The cabin was perfect for getting cozy with drinks and TV time, plus we thoroughly enjoyed hopping in the hot tub each night. Erica was a thoughtful and friendly host!

Great views!

Excellent location with beautiful views of the water. Clean, quiet, and cozy. Close to the beach and chain ferry. Note that you will need to climb stairs to enter the property. Erica was super nice and incredibly responsive.

Mother and Daughters R and R

We enjoyed spending time just caching up on each other's busy lives, having many laughs and going to great restaurants. Also spent a day pampering ourselves at a spa in town. It was always great coming back to the cottage and relaxing in such cozy surroundings. Maybe we'll make it a tradition!

Cozy anniversary getaway

This was a wonderful, cozy, and quiet stay. We were impressed with the property and the amenities. If we had one suggestion for the future, it would probably be adding blinds or curtains as the cottage is fairly wide open and leaves guests feeling slightly exposed. That being said, you are so comfortable that you hardly notice. We will definitely consider staying again.

The perfect getaway!

Very nicely appointed lake house. Beds were cozy. Within walking distance to the chain ferry to get to downtown Saugatuck. Toilet on the top floor is not fully enclosed for privacy and bedroom windows don’t have privacy shades for changing clothes, etc. Other than that, would definitely return!

Charming Cabin

Lovely property. It was too cold to use the beautiful enclosed porch but I’m sure in the summer it’s delightful. Super clean and easy to drive to town (no chain ferry in October). Oval beach is close but up a very steep hill so not really bike friendly. Supermarket, restaurants, galleries all within 5-15 min drive. View of river great. Couldn’t be happier.
