This was a great stay and highly recommend! Very clean, spacious and charming. It was a little farther out of town than expected but still walkable. As some others have mentioned, there is a pretty step hill just before you get into town. Would stay again.
Very clean and super easy checkin and out! Host was very responsive with questions. Darling place to stay in Saugatuck off the beaten path. The walk to town was very short and beautiful as well. Will stay again!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed everything and hope to host you again in the near future.
Well designed and updated house that provided a clean and comfortable setting for our family getaway. Ample space for hanging out with our kids: spacious kitchen for food prep, dinning room for games and meals, front porch for relaxing, and large yard for grilling. Owners thoughtfully stocked it with the essentials. Just a five block walk to the heart of Saugatuck which we did multiple times/day. We all agreed that we would come back to this property.
This property is truly charming and beautiful; simply a sanctuary! It has plenty of space and we appreciated the extra towels! The beds and pillows were so comfortable. All features were perfect and worked amazing (HVAC, laundry, hot water etc) The down town is a 15-20 minute walk with a big hill. This was a very unique situation to us since we were celebrating an 80th birthday that made that walk just a bit unattainable more than once a day. I didn’t gather that from the listing or the other reviews so sharing if anyone is in a very specific situation with limitations like that. Stow Vacations was so thoughtful and kind in their very fast responses on our communication.

We appreciate your note regarding listing accuracy and are reviewing our details and photos to ensure everything is represented as clearly and accurately as possible.
