About this property

Welcome to “Sherm’s Shack”! Within the Historic District of Saugatuck, this 1874 farmhouse was where our parents enjoyed their retirement. We’ve had many great gatherings with friends and family, and invite you to have some here, too! The house is within walking distance from Saugatuck’s downtown shopping district and a short drive to beaches, including the city’s famous Oval Beach. If you like to hike or bike, the beginning of the Saugatuck to Holland bike trail is just down the street.

“The Shack” has plenty of parking with a backyard big enough for games and cook-outs. We have chairs and yard games available.

Our fully furnished kitchen is great for preparing meals. The dining room is great for gatherings with family or friends. Or, if you prefer, take advantage of the many restaurants in town (The Southerner is a short walk across the street).

The master bedroom is on the first floor. Steps to the second floor may be challenging for people with mobility issues.

Old historic charm!

Great home with all the amenities. In downtown Saugatuck but quiet enough without the hustle and bustle of tourists engaging in outdoor activities.

Sherm's Shack Was Awesome!

My husband and I, our dog, and a few friends had a great long weekend at the Shack! We love Saugatuck and have stayed a lot of different places and have now added this to our favorites list. It was very clean, quite roomy, and the location is perfect. And our dog loved it, too!

Love the tien

Sherman shack is too far away from town to walk so every time you went to town you had to spend a lot of time looking for a parking place. The house was very nice except the stairs going up. We’re very steep both bathrooms lacked a walk in shower. Stepping over a cloth tub was hard stepping over the upstairs. Bathroom was very hard to.. For that reason, we will not stay there again when we go back to Saugatuck, we will stay in town where you can just leave your room, our house and the town.

Wonderful stay

We had a great time at Sherm's shack. It is a beautiful house with everything a family could need, from baby to grandparents. Rain or shine, you'll be comfortable and entertained there. The location was very convenient. We could walk to the little shops and restaurants. Once we arrived, we could leave the car behind. Renee was easy to contact and very helpful. We will be back for sure.

60th Birthdays w/ Friends

Best part is location. Can walk to Water Street where main drag is. Walk down 15 min. to the coffee shop next to bike shop. We enjoyed the older home in a upscale neighborhood. It reminded us of our homes growing up. Not fancy, just clean and more than enough room to be comfortable. If you can't go up steep stairs, this isn't for you. We had no problem going up and down FYI. Had a bonfire. Everything is in its place. Don't need to bring anything! They have all the toiletries, towels, kitchen extras like foil, baggies etc. AC was wonderful, sunroom off the main home to enjoy the sun and no AC. It was perfect for us and we would stay again here!

Michigan vacation

The house is a vintage property located within walking distance of downtown Saugatuck. Lots of space inside and outside. My only issue was that toaster oven. How do I get a warm English Muffin that is brown on both sides?! lol My dog loved it as well, and was over the top when the deer wandered into the yard. A great time was had by all, and Spot wants to go back :-)

Old charm

An older farm house with positive charm. Walking distance to town where loads of shopping and many Mom & Pop restaurants. We visit Saugatuck every year and glad we found this location.

Time Away

A comfortable and convenient spot to stay while we explored and enjoyed Saugatuck. Lots of room for three adults and three teenagers with privacy when we needed it and a place upstairs for my grand daughter to practice her violin. Beautifully furnished and decorated with charm.
