We spent the weekend at Carriage House for a girls trip! It was the perfect space for 8! Plenty of sleeping spaces, stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen. The outdoor space and hot tub were so nice! We could walk almost everywhere we wanted to go! Jeannie was great with suggestions and answering questions.

Jean was so accommodating, friendly, and quick to respond to messages. The property is just as pictured and we had a great time on our quick getaway. It is on the main road so I wasn't fully prepared for that as we hadn't been to the area before, but the location was perfect for a 10 minute walk to downtown - ideal because downtown parking is a challenge!

We were a group of 10 women enjoying a girls weekend in Saugatuck, MI—our first time visiting, and celebrating two milestone 50th birthdays! The home was absolutely fabulous: spacious, stylish, and perfect for a group getaway. Even better was the location—just a short walk to the heart of town with its charming shops, great restaurants, and vibrant atmosphere.The hosts were wonderful—very communicative and easy to reach, which made everything smooth and stress-free. This rental was the ideal setting for a memorable celebration and a perfect introduction to Saugatuck. Highly recommend!

Maria’s family was awesome. They really took care of my home. My cleaner was unavailable so I went to do the cleaning myself. I couldn’t even tell they were there except for the unmade beds which I told them to leave that way. The home was so clean. They really respected my home as if it were their own. They are welcome to stay any time. Thank you so much.

Great House, Great Location

We visited Saugatuck to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. The house was perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable, and charming. We enjoyed the quick walk to downtown and the convenience of a great backyard, nearby beaches, mini-golf and dune buggy rides. Owners were very nice to work with. Would absolutely stay again!

Very Thankful for getting the opportunity to have this family choose our home to stay. They were amazing guests. They treated our home with respect and as of it were their own. I don’t think I have ever come to the home to clean after guests have checked out and you pretty much didn’t know they were there except for the beds being slept in. They ran the dishwasher and even washed the towels. I can only hope they come stay with us again. They truly were a joy to host.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Lankford

Host profile image
My husband and I stayed in Saugatuk every Labor Day weekend at the Rosemont Inn in Douglas, Michigan and fell in love with the area. I finally talked him into buying a property since we visited so often. We just fell in love with the peacefulness and relaxation when we would pull up to our new home. Since we cannot always stay at our home away from home, we decided we wanted to share it with you. Please come and visit Saugatuk and see what we mean.

Why they chose this property

We provide an open concept for family gatherings inside for all seasons. Pet friendly with a large backyard for your dog to freely romp around and explore. Room enough for family games of Cornhole and an evening campfire for new memories to take home with you. Downtown Saugatuk is within a few minutes of walking distance. The best Southern Restaurant is right across the street.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located within miles of neighboring towns for you to explore such as Douglas, Holland, South Haven, Grand Haven, and Fennville.
