Very cute home, 10 min walk to downtown Saugatuck with part of the walk across a fairly busy higher speed road. House is well appointed, decorated nicely, clean, and comfortable. The host was responsive and easy to work with.

The host was very responsive to my inquiries before the trip. Options for making coffee. The cottage is conveniently located about a mile from downtown Saugatuck. The home is on a cliff overlooking other properties and the woods.

Great property! Very comfortable beds and couch. Easy to check in and out. Great linens and kitchen. Very close to everything. I’d encourage the owner to get a few more big plates, small knives, and new pillows for one bed. Otherwise it was great! We would stay again.
