About this property

Prime Location Upstairs Apt – Close to Everything!

Welcome to Roan & Black, a beautifully designed two-bedroom, two-bath apartment on the upper floor of a historic building and former art gallery in the heart of Saugatuck. Filled with original artwork and custom details, this stylish retreat blends creativity and comfort with modern amenities throughout. Walk to downtown Saugatuck, Pennyroyal Café, Ivy House, and local galleries—all just steps from your door. A truly artful escape.

Originally built in 1950 and once home to the renowned Roan & Black art gallery, this inspired upstairs retreat has been reimagined as a two-bedroom, two-bath sanctuary that blends modern design with creative spirit.

Step inside to an open, light-filled living area featuring a full kitchen, dining space, and inviting lounge designed for connection and comfort. The thoughtful layout is accented with custom furnishings, curated artwork, and large windows that fill the space with natural light.

Both bedrooms offer serene privacy, each styled with plush bedding and artistic touches. The primary suite features a king bed and en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom includes a queen bed and easy access to a second full bath. A washer and dryer add convenience for longer stays.

Outdoors, guests share access to nearly two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, complete with shaded seating areas, multiple decks, a gas grill, and a fire pit—perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings beneath the trees.

Memorial Day weekend stay

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.

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

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!

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!
