After a day on the beach or wine tasting along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail, unwind in the private five-person hot tub under twinkle lights, or gather by the firepit (firewood provided) for starlit conversation.

We had a wonderful long weekend at this lovely home! We were in the area with our family to celebrate our child's graduation from GVSU. In between events we were able to visit a local winery, do some shopping in beautiful Saugatuck, dine at the Saugatuck Brewing Company, and watch the sun set over Lake Michigan at Oval Beach. It was a memorable weekend!
Had a great weekend stay with a group of 7 to celebrate my sisters upcoming wedding. The house is very cute and has everything you may need, with a great location to check out the local wineries!
Very clean and cozy. Great location for privacy, yet convenient for traveling to South Haven, Saugatuk, and Holland for shopping and dining. The garage interior was a nice surprise with air hockey, smart TV, and all you need for beach visits. We enjoyed our stay.
This unique looking home was surprisingly spacious. It was very clean with comfortable beds, and the hot tub was also great. This is a terrific place to stay for visiting Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, and a short drive to other beach coast towns. Excellent communication from the host.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was kid friendly and we really appreciated not having to pack a high chair and pac n play! The place was super clean! Great communication with host. It’s really the best location to stay at while visiting Saugatuck, Douglas and surrounding areas.
Property is newly renovated with outstanding deck and hot tub. Convenient location with great access to food. Everything in working order with upkeep in impeccable condition!
This was an AMAZING place to stay for a girls trip. The house was super clean and very well stocked (kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies, toiletries, extra blankets). We loved the hot tub and the fire pit! The location is perfectly positioned too. It’s quiet and close enough to breweries, vineyards, and town.
10000/10 would stay again!!
We loved our stay at Holly’s property! The house was perfectly clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, showers had good pressure and the hot tub was clean and roomy enough for all three of us. We were within 15/20 minutes of gorgeous Saugatuck Dunes State Park, Downtown Saugatuck, Douglas and Fenville. We will be coming back for sure!!
The home was clean, modern and also very welcoming. There was minor decor for the season that added a pleasant touch. The hot tub seemed clean and I was grateful it was running and hot when we arrived. The property was lovely overall and what i had anticipated. Communications with the owner were friendly and prompt. We didnt experience any issues. It was the exact escape from the city life we had hoped for. Highly recommended for a break from life!

Very clean. Spacious. Dining area stools quite uncomfortable…..but cute. . Beds comfy. Kinda hot upstairs. Tourist info found in drawer the day we left. lol. Good thing we brought our own. Hot tub terrific. Firepit had huge hole in bottom and burning logs fell through. But a two tiered fire looked great. We were surprised that 124th ave was actually m89! Lotsa road noise when we were outside. Had the police pull over someone in front of the house. Lights flashing. It was better to just stay inside. But the house is adorable. We probably wouldn’t have stayed here if we knew it was on m89. But we enjoyed our stay. But probably won’t return. Sorry. Only because we like more quiet and secluded locations. Otherwise was a really nice place to stay. Thank you.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the A-Frame. The location was perfect - close to Saugatuck and Fennville but also out of the way and SO private. Checking in was a breeze. It’s on a busier road, but the traffic noise honestly was very minimal and didn’t bother us at all. We loved how close the A-frame was to the local wineries and a variety of restaurants. Highly recommend Pizza Quest and Salt of the Earth in Fennville and Modales winery and Waypost Brewing.
The space in the A-frame was super comfortable and modern. The bed was very comfortable, shower was really nice, hot tub was great, and we loved having beach chairs/umbrella and a grill to use. Holly was a tremendous host - super responsive whenever we needed something, and also provided great recommendations!
A couple very minor suggestions - blinds on the back door to block out the sun (though privacy isn’t an issue since the back neighbor is a literal corn field) and some plastic cups to use in the hot tub.
Overall we loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again! Thanks for a great home base for our trip to Michigan.
We are a small family-owned business. As avid travelers and adventure-seekers, we find great fulfillment in creating spaces where people can relax, connect with each other, and build lasting memories.
