Great location to visit South Haven, Douglas and Saugatuck from! the layout of the house is really nice. the beds are very comfortable and the backyard very serene. Would definitely stay there again
This was a beautiful place to stay. We loved the fire pit and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Convenient location close to a great restaurant and both Saugatuck and Douglas.
Excellent property. Located just under a mile into downtown Saugatuck. Easy walk which we did both days we were there. Beautiful backyard which we and our dog thoroughly enjoyed. Had a small issue upon check in but property manager was immediately responsive and handled the situation. Would definitely stay at this property again in the future.
Loved our stay at Roan & Black. Can’t wait to come back again! Beautiful space in majestic setting. Loved walking around the property as did our pups and was a perfect location for our first trip to the area!

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
The house itself is beautiful and stylishly decorated!The location is also wonderful. This is my 20th summer in Saugatuck. I usually come once a year for the last 20 years staying at different properties around the town. This one was high on my list. I would definitely recommend it to friends and clients the overall was great !There was construction on the first floor, where the furniture showroom is, which started very early in the morning, so I couldn’t sleep in pretty much my only complaint

Hello Joshua,
Thank you for your lovely review. We greatly appreciate. It is one of our more popular properties. Our sincerest apologies about the construction. The homeowners are making the lower level into another vacation rental property. Hopefully, the next time you visit the Saugautuck/Douglas area you can stay in the new unit and sleep in :):) Best, Anne

Best place to get away!
This was my second time staying at this amazing getaway. Close to great food and fun shops as well as the lakeshore. I will be back!
This property is stunning! Beautifully decorated with so many amenities. Easy check in and check out. The Pennyroyal restaurant next door was great for coffee and quick bites to eat. I’d definitely stay here again!

Excellent place to stay!
We were very pleased with the overall stay, starting from check-in and throughout our stay. The place is very clean, beautifully decorated, and it has a very convenient location to both Saugatuck and Douglas. Having a popular restaurant with excellent food next door is a big plus as well! God willing, we would like to stay in this place during future visits to Saugatuck.

My husband and I stayed here with our toddler. It was absolutely perfect! Lots of room and the yard is very secluded. Also, by far the most comfortable bed I have ever encountered in a hotel or rental house!
We loved staying at Roan and Black. It’s decorated beautifully, lots of space, great kitchen, and comfy beds. It’s conveniently located, we were within 5 minutes of the water and town. There’s a nice path across the street and we easily walked into town for dinner. It was the perfect space for 4 of us. We will definitely be back!
We will remember this spot for a long time: comfortable, upscale, spacious.
