Perfect girl’s getaway! The hot tub worked perfect, and the games were a really nice touch. Very thoughtfully set up with many little extras. Secluded, yet close to town and activities. Would definitely stay here again!

This was the perfect home base to explore the area — every place we wanted to visit was 15 minutes away or less. The house is very cute and clean. We loved the hot tub, puzzles, and games. It was EXTREMELY pet friendly, too! Rachel left treats for our dog, there were food and water dishes, a long leash in the backyard, and the trails around the property were our dog’s idea of heaven. We had a great stay!

Relaxing getaway

This stay was my best VRBO yet. Beautifully decorated home nestled in the woods. The owner thought of EVERYTHING a traveler would need and made all instructions easy to find. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. Location was quiet and lovely. Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

The only problem was our stay was too short!

The house was perfect for our stay! Property was just as described and Rachel was great to work with. She was very responsive and even let us know the house would be available to check in early. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for an amazing trip!

Cozy Location

Rachel's rental was cozy and welcoming from the minute of walking in, on top of that communication was great. This location was only 5-7 minutes from fun places near Fennville but was remote enough to be quiet and private.

Great Stay in Saugatuck

The property was great, felt like a secluded area with lots of privacy but still close enough to go out and explore the area. Rachel was awesome, we brought our two young kids with us and she made sure to have some age appropriate games available for them to play with. Felt like a very personalized stay.

We cannot say enough good things about Fernhaven. It was secluded, extremely clean, and conveniently located near all sights and sounds of Saugatuck. Definitely recommend this place if you are booking with small kids. The hosts provide a travel crib, toys and children's books, amongst other things a young family trying to travel needs. We'd definitely love to book Fernhaven the next time we decide to visit the Saugatuck area!

Quiet and comfortable; quick drive to favorite spots in Saugatuck/Douglas

We have stayed in several places in area over the years, both just outside of town and in Saugatuck/Douglas. This place is quiet, super clean and very charming. We appreciated the comfortable beds, large hot tub and gorgeous setting. Rachel was so kind and easy to reach. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible time at the Saugatuck home. The home was perfect in every way. The firepit was great for cooler evenings. It was so close to downtown Saugatuck and Douglas. The communication with Rachel the host was perfect. The host provided so much information about the area which was very helpful. Will want to stay at this great location the next time we are traveling through Saugatuck.

April Getaway

The property is on a large wooded lot with lovely trails. The house is well appointed - we lacked for nothing. Time to town was under 10 minutes and a beautiful drive. Rachel was quick in answering questions and gracious about everything. Loved our stay!

Wonderful mother/daughter getaway at Fernhaven

This house is fabulous. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room. Rachel really has thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The grounds were simply beautiful and the home was cozy and very clean. We enjoyed the wonderful hot tub and had wonderful conversations in the cozy family room. We definitely plan to return next summer!

The hot tub was spotless and user-friendly. Rachel, our host, was an excellent hostess. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the welcome gift of local goodies. The fire pit and trails on the property were our favorite features. They were enjoyable for everyone of our ages. The property is dog-friendly and has bowls and towels for our furry friends. Everything inside worked flawlessly, with thoughtful touches for guests. There was a smart TV, a Bluetooth speaker for the entire house, and a fun record player. Our family would definitely stay again! Thank you, Rachel, for making our stay so enjoyable!

Peaceful Retreat

My husband and I absolutely loved this property and the host Rachel. There was clear communication from the start and the house included many "how to" instructions. Rachel made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The property was quiet and secluded. We enjoyed walks on the trails, time in the hot tub and multiple board games. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I really enjoyed the natural and beautiful décor. With plenty of host and guest recommendations, we were able to enjoy local restaurants, activities and hiking. I would recommend this property to anyone and we are looking forward to returning soon with our children.

Quiet & relaxing time in Saugatuck

We've stayed in the Saugatuck/Fennville area several times now. This was our favorite place we've stayed. We will be back. House was clean and as expected based on the listing. Water pressure in the shower was great, which is often not the case in short term rentals. Paper products and kitchen were well stocked. It's a short drive into town and to nearby beaches. The hot tub is relaxing. Another great thing about this property is the quiet. We've stayed at a few places that are a bit too close to the highway. PSA: This has nothing to do with the house but note that there are a lot of ticks in the area. We live in Chicago so we're not used to dealing with ticks. Make sure you check your dogs frequently and use a tick prevention drug. Our 2 dogs averaged about 1 tick per day over 3 days.
