Our host Micheal was wonderful! The dishes were clean and while not a full kitchen there was enough to make simple meals with a single burner and toaster oven. It was close to everything we could want to do in Saugatuck which is a definite plus. Unique and overall comfortable place to stay.

Second visit here and once again it rocked! Nothing better than wandering downtown Saugatuck during the day (and evening without worrying about parking). A short drive to the beach as well as surrounding towns.

Exactly what we were looking for!

This place is quirky and cozy and close to everything. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway out of the city. While it could probably use a deep clean, my family and I loved our stay.

Everything was perfection! From the ease of check-in, to the cleanliness, to the wonderful insight, friendliness & recommendations of our contact person, Michael, to the central location of Saugatuck. It was a delightfully unique space located above The Butler Pantry which had a fabulous selection of coffee, wine, and delicious provisions. This has been, by far, my favorite Vrbo stay and I couldn't recommend it high enough.
