Sweet Stay at Sweet Maple
What a charming home. Well appointed, very clean and Jason and Sheryl thought of every detail. Close to everything in Saugatuck, very close to Douglas and Holland as well. We are already looking forward to our next stay at Sweet Maple!

Delightful
The house was fantastic! Very clean and updated. Bed were super comfortable. Upstairs was a little warm but owner had portable cooling fans in each bedroom to help. Homeowner was very responsive and communicated frequently. Gave us great recommendations for wineries and restaurants. I will definitely be back!

Well-equipped and better then Advertised!
My family and I stayed for the week and the location was key. We have been coming to the area for 20+ years. The property had other amenities like a Hot-tub and fire-pit as well as a relatively new Weber grill. The kitchen had everything and more and the house was well-equipped with just about anything we needed. While in Saugatuck, we hiked, swam, boated, beached it and hit a few bars. Pizza at Wick's was fab, Dry Dock was a fun location and Coral Gables is a classic dive bar and institution. The weather made it even a better experience as it was sunny and no humidity all week. Great house to rent in a diverse and mostly forward thinking town...

Great Spot!
We chose this rental as it allowed dogs - let's get that out of the way - and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Nice big backyard, lots of space in the bedrooms for the kids, close to downtown and all the sights, and a super comfy house that made the stay that much more enjoyable.

Great Stay Just Outside Downtown
Our two families had an amazing stay at the property. The house was clean and smelled great on our arrival. We were able to walk downtown most days and made the short car ride to Waypost Brewing and Fenn Valley Vineyard on others. The backyard is huge and a great place for the kids to run around. We would happily stay again.

Great cozy getaway
We loved this property. Easy to walk into town but also close to Douglas. The home felt clean and well-cared for. However, the 2nd bath upstairs could use a new tub and there was not one lamp in the entire place. I ended up buying one because I like to read in bed at night and I hate an overhead light. But the little touches and amenities more than made up for anything lacking. We would stay there again!

One of the best vacation rentals we’ve experienced
We loved everything about our stay - from the decor to the location, everything was perfect. It provided the luxuries of a hotel (luggage racks in each room and a robe!) with the conveniences of a home (fire pit, spacious yard). This was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever had!

Fun place
Had a nice last minute getaway for few days in Saugatuck. Location is perfect. A bit of a busier road. The yard was so nice. Hot tub was a great addition too. My dog was appalled to see the crate, but so nice for people lucky enough to be able to crate their pets. Would come back

Short Getaway!
We so enjoyed our short weekend girl's getaway to Sweet Maple! The house was perfect and so was the hot tub. It couldn't have been more perfect. We enjoyed eating at Salt of the Earth, going to Holland for the Tulips and some local wineries. You want to stay at this house!

Charming house
Recently stayed at this property for a girls’ weekend in Saugatuck. The house is very charming (especially the coffee nook!), comfortable, and clean. It had everything we could have needed and was located very close to downtown shopping and restaurants. Communication with the owner was prompt and friendly. Would highly recommend and hope to be back in the future!

Great house with everything you need and more. Lots of great touches such as coffee provided ( in the cutest little coffee bar cabinet) as well as bathroom essentials in case you forgot anything. Very clean and comfortable. Although short walk to town, we drove since we had a long day of hiking. We will for sure stay here again!

Lovely House
My girlfriends and I stayed here as part of our Girls Trip to Western Michigan. We absolutely loved the house. It was just gorgeous and in a perfect location to walk to town, especially since parking in the town is so hard to come by. Jason was a great host, offering tons of advice on where to go in Saugatuck. The house included all sorts of special touches that we really appreciated. They thought of everything that would make someone's stay more enjoyable. One of my all time best VRBO rentals.

The property was perfect, so many amenities that were well thought out.. the house literally had everything and anything we could've needed. The backyard stamped concrete patio and the firepit were a nice new addition. Beds super comfy, enough bathrooms for 5 women to get ready and just an overall easy and beautiful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Shaw

Host profile image
Hi! We've been vacationing near Lake Michigan for years and fell in love with that side of the state. When we decided we wanted to become hosts, we kept coming back to Saugatuck as our top choice - and we're so glad we did.

Why they chose this property

Saugatuck and Douglas are just outstanding towns to visit almost any time of the year. So many places to eat, so much to do, so conveniently located to Oval Beach, Lake Michigan, Holland, South Haven, and Grand Rapids.

What makes this property unique

We're dog friendly and provide what you'll need to make your furry family members comfortable and feel like they're on vacation, too! The home is smack dab between both the downtown areas of Saugatuck and Douglas, making the location, so, so convenient. The backyard is HUGE! Lots of room for you or your dog to roam. Unfortunately,
