We just loved our stay! The cottage was immaculate, so many amenities, walking distance to everything! We will definitely be back and recommend to family and friends.
The space was clean, cool, and just as described. We were there on some of the hottest days of the summer and loved coming back to a cool and quiet space. The walk to the downtown business area is short and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back in the future.
We didn’t check in until after 8 pm after a long day of shopping so didn’t use the kitchen facilities but everything we would have needed is available. It is a lovely place and close to shopping. Only issue was upstairs guests must of had children and we could hear the running back and forth. By 10 pm it was quiet so they were respectful of lower tenants. Highly recommend staying at this location.
We enjoyed our stay at this property so much in 2024 that we decided to come back in 2025. The property was immaculate and very well furnished. The host thoughtfully included a lot of beach toys, a cooler, and plenty of beach towels. We enjoyed the walking proximity to downtown and to a nearby nature preserve. The bathroom was redone since our last visit and is beautiful. Beautiful hikes overlooking and having access to Lake Michigan are just a few minutes away by car.
What a wonderful stay we had at the Chickadee!!! Clean and very well appointed, great amenities and so comfortable!!! My dearest and beat college friend and I were celebrating retirement and a significant birthday and this was a perfect spot to do both! In addition to the lovely accommodations the front porch was a wonderful spot to have our morning coffee and evening libations! 5-10 minute walk to town. Just a super great experience all around! Highly recommend staying at this lovely place!!!
My sister and I stayed here for a weekend trip and had the best time! The property was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean and updated inside. Beautiful and bright all around. Super comfortable couch, beds, etc. and plenty of extra bedding! Perfect location and just a 5 minute walk to downtown Saugatuck. Would love to stay again :-) thank you!
This is our second stay and we can’t say enough good things about this location. So clean and all the amenities you might need. It is walking distance to the water, shopping and food options and a short drive to Holland. We have a great weekend.
Ideally located within walking distance to downtown Saugatuck. Very clean and comfortable. Probably the best equipped rental we've ever had. The one drawback was the road noise.
The property is beautiful!! We had an amazing time and The Chickadee is everything and more. Not a detail was missed. Very clean and pictures are exact, no false promises. I will be staying again next year and look forward to spending my time in Saugatuck at the Chickadee. Dawn the owner is fabulous. The bathroom is spectacular-great shower!! Kudos to Dawn!!
Super clean and tidy apartment. Thoughtful small things like the beach towels, beach bag and toys were a great touch. The sofa bed worked well for our grade school age kids. Took us about 6-7 minute walk to the edge of the shops and restaurant area. The road does have a decent amount of traffic, but there are sidewalks the entire way into town. Road noise never bothered us in the apartment. We took the chain ferry across the river and hiked up the stairs to Mount Baldhead, great views and fun little hike.
This was my first time in Saugatuck, and the chickadee rental was the perfect location and place to stay. The unit has everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed and cozy living room. I always appreciate a kitchen when I travel to allow me to make some meals and go out for others. This unit is in walking distance of the downtown Saugatuck area, making it a very easy way to enjoy the town without fighting for parking. We could even walk down to the Southern, a really great place for a meal and an excellent cocktail. We will definitely be back!!
Great location, very clean, perfect place for two would definitely stay again, Thanks
