Surrounded by water, this Saugatuck home provides a unique experience unlike any other - as well as the perfect spot for a couple looking to experience a little peace and tranquility. Enjoy the sounds of the water from the back patio and take in the gorgeous views of the Kalamazoo River. Inside, you'll find warm, updated decor that still leaves behind a generous nod to the home's history.
What's nearby:
Within a five-minute walk, you'll find yourself in downtown Saugatuck, where there are plenty of shops, art galleries, and sources of entertainment. In the same area is a selection of waterfront restaurants for dinner with a view. Don't forget to try The Southerner, a top-rated restaurant just a block from the house. To spend a day on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, head to Oval Beach (one mile west), Douglas Beach (two miles southwest), or Saugatuck Dunes State Park (four miles north).
Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
One dog is welcome (please note that there are geese in the nearby pond, so your dog must be animal-friendly)
One Queen sofa bed

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.)
