This house is amazing! The house is decorated with beautiful art in every room. The location is ideal as it's within walking distance to dining and shops. Our group was there for a long weekend and didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen is well equipped. Great communication with the owner, and she provided helpful recommendations and information.

Terrific stay in downtown Saugatuck!

Awesome property, very clean, well stocked with everything you could need and the perfect location to watch the boats come in and out of the harbor and within walking distance to all the local shops and restaurants. Marta was a fantastic host providing excellent communication prior to arrival, including many restaurant recommendations and then a lovely welcome basket of treats upon arrival including wine, cheese and chocolates! Will definitely stay at this property in the future. To top it all off this is a super cool building!!
