So glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Our goal has always been to make your stay as comfy, easy and simple as possible. Know we’re not perfect, but try to always cover all the groundwork so you don’t have to, so you can relax making memories.
Knowing when I’m entering into a new town to explore, I’m always wondering where the hidden gems are. Whether the locals favs such as restaurants, hikes, entertainment, wineries, boating, biking, all the little outta the way places.
It was a pleasure having you stay with us.
Truly grateful! Lynn

This was a perfect place for our stay in Saugatuck. The condo was nicely decorated and the kitchen was set up well and had plenty of dishes and pans to make cooking easy if you choose to cook during your stay.
The townhome was perfect for our weekend getaway. Clean, appropriately stocked and convenient location. The host was incredibly helpful, responsive and accommodating. It was a lovely experience.

A combo of family and friends came to stay and had a wonderful stay. Absolutely every need was anticipated at this wonderful home and we couldn't have been more comfortable. Our group had some fussy members and they haven't stopped talking about what a wonderful place we stayed! Saugatuck is of course a wonderful place and Lynn made it much moreso!

This property was perfect for our family. It was very clean and convenient to get to downtown Saugatuck. Lynn, our host was great. She was readily available when I needed to connect with her. We would definitely stay here again!
Great location in Saugatuck! The property owner was very helpful with providing everything we needed on the property as well as providing information on local restaurants and activities.
Property was very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. Host was phenomenal and provided lots of info on the area. We really couldn't ask for anything more.
From the check-in to the check-out everything is thought of for you. The place was clean, goodies were waiting and reviews for all the local attractions were given. Definitely worth a repeat visit!!

Thank you for the kind review. We try our best!
So very glad you enjoyed your stay, you were wonderful guest!!
Hop to see you again! Lynn
Lovely townhome, very well equipped with everything needed. The owner was extremely easy to communicate with and offered an early check-in, which we appreciated so much. Only suggestion I would have is possibly illuminating the address on the road, as it is very difficult to find in the dark. Other than that I have no hesitation re-booking for a future stay and even suggesting to family and friends this location if they are traveling to Saugatuck/Douglas.

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement, we love making everyone’s stay easy and comfy!!!
It IS Your vacation time!
I’ve taken your advice given and ordered LED solar lights so it’ll be easier to see for a return evening night out or late arrival. Never thought of that, never suggested, nor comments, so I greatly appreciate the idea, and moving forward with this… Thank You Muchos!
Truly Grateful for your choosing our Home.
My Bestest. Lynn!
We had a girls weekend, celebrating a milestone birthday. Our host (Lynn) was aware of this fact, and made our stay special and personal. This is hospitality at it's finest!The property and amenities are excellent! You are so close to all of the fun things to do in SaugLasVille. Would highly recommend any property this host has available. Enjoy your stay.
Everything was excellent. It was clean, conveniently located and very charming. The communication with the host was great! We would definitely recommend this. One minor suggestion would be to have something out by the street to make it a little easier to find at night-maybe a solar light or reflectors. Still a 10 out of 10! Thanks so much!!

You’re the best! Thank You!
Enjoy the Memories! Lynn
We had a wonderful stay! Lynn was so quick to respond and provided great tips of things to do in the beautiful Saugatuck area! There was a welcome gift too upon our arrival, which was so thoughtful, and a basket of "forget me items" if you forget something from home too:). What a great idea! The home is so cute, clean and in a great location! We did the dune rides, which were a lot of fun too and dinner at Phils, which was delicious. Thanks for everything! We had a fun weekend!
