Saugatuck was the perfect place to stay - small town with great shops and restaurants right on the water. We had a great time at Tulip Time Festival in Holland. This house was perfectly located and had a great view of the River when sitting on the back deck.
Great location for walking to most places in Saugatuck. It was also easy to drive from there to nearby places. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and small yard.
Very cute property, nice patio, with decent sized backyard with nice pond and fire pit. Short little walk to downtown.
We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to returning back to this property again in the future.
We enjoyed staying at this home because it had everything we needed, and it was close to downtown Saugatuck. It is located in the historic district in a very nice neighborhood. The owner provides many modern amenities and the home is very roomy. We will definitely be back!
Cottage has a beautiful view of the lake, great location - could walk to downtown Saugatuck from there. Perfect place for two couples - two bedrooms, each with its own bathrooom. New stove (with griddle) and a new side-by-side fridge! Huge new gas grill - perfect for grilling! Huge cable TV!
Enjoyed lake view from deck.
Hot water tank temp set too high. Water gets scalding hot quickly, dangerous for all ages.
Replace king mattress.
Have structural integrity of deck examined. It moves. To be on safe side, we decided 3 adults
was a safe limit to on deck at same time.
My parents owned this house from the late 1990s through 2007. They installed the pond, the landscaping, and an addition to the original house, and a large addition to the deck. It was wonderful to see all those things still in use! It brought back so many memories being there!
I stayed with my spouse, brother and his spouse. We were able to walk downtown easily to all desired activities and restaurants. The neighbors are quiet. The view is nice.
The house is well appointed with sufficient dishes and paper products. It was nice and clean upon arrival. The host was responsive to text during the stay. We loved it!
We enjoyed our stay here at the house. Was close to to both downtown Saugatuck and Douglas. If your traveling with a small pet, just be aware that the decking rails are far enough apart that a small dog could fit through the rails. I wish it was a little more convenient taking our small pups out to relieve themselves. You have to take them down the upper deck steps, or go around the front, to the back of the house. Their is a very small strip of grass out front near the road that I guess you could use. But that being said, if your not traveling with a pet then that shouldn’t be an inconvenience. We spent most of our time out and about anyways. The home was cooled nicely for July weather. They have a new or newer sectional in the living room that was cozy. The cleaning service could probably vacuum the little critters on the bedroom walls. It’s Michigan, your going to get critters ( insects). They just need to be a little more observant, unless their vacuum doesn’t have attachments? All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Great location, a bit dated
Great location. Can walk to many things and a peekaboo view of the lake. No lake access. My room was clean but my son's room had a lot of weevil bugs. Cottage is a bit dated and the master bed is huge but needs new mattress (too soft and sags in the middle) and bedframe (squeaks very loudly if u so much as move your legs, much less if you roll over. Son's bed was newer and much better shape. He says was comfy. Had extra blankets, pillows, and towels which is always nice.
We really enjoyed a long weekend at this house, enjoying all that Saugatuck and the surround area have to offer. The property was clean with and spacious, with plenty of room for our party to spread out. We enjoyed the deck and the outdoor spaces as well. Small, minor improvements would be: a working toaster, a full-sized coffee pot (Keurig provided), and dusting/cleaning the windowsills and AC units. Overall, this was an amazing and comfortable stay! We will be back :)
Nice short vacation. Older property but clean inside. Owner is super nice and helpful. Great location. Yard is small and needs some attention.. but its the end of the year..didnt bother us.
The location and property worked out great for the 4 of us!
Communication process with owner was very good. Spaciousness was also nice for our group of 4 Adults. Short walk to waterfront was nice. We enjoyed the deck too. Only minor issues: wifi sketchy, screen door to deck needs replacing to keep bugs out, and grill wouldn’t ignite when we were there. Otherwise we really enjoyed our time there!

Nice Location
I thought the house was a little expensive. I can see that the price was more because of it's location. It was an easy walk to the stores.
The other thing I did not like was not being able to cancel the reservation. My inlaws were not able to make it. Our money would not have been refunded if we didn't come. There was an option to re schedule but all our vacation time was accounted for and we were not sure we would be able to get back. I have been using VRBO for many years and have never stayed at a place where they wouldn't refund you.
