About the host
Hosted by Benjamin Saukas
We live in Chicago with our 3 year old daughter, and wanted a place where we could spend more time with family (my parents, brother, and his family all live nearby). This home is the perfect place for our large holiday get-togethers, and for entertaining friends as it's a relatively short drive from Chicago.
Why they chose this property
We recently decided to open up our vacation home to rentals. It's been a wonderful place for our family to visit and we hope you will enjoy it too! If you are looking for a haven to relax and enjoy nature - there is so much wildlife to watch and listen to from the patio! And if you want a family hub close to dozens of incredible restaurants and activities, this is also a perfect fit with downtown Douglas a couple blocks away and Saugatuck a 3 minute drive.
