Great location and comfortable space

This was our 8th trip to Saugatuck with our children. The property’s location is great. Though right on Water Street where you can walk out the front door and be in the Social District, it is quiet. The Beeline trial for running and walking or biking is easy to access as is everything in town, including our favorite spots.. There’s a great view of Kalamazoo River from third floor bunk room and a good peak from main front porch. Furniture is comfortable and great for gathering or chilling a bit after a day at the beach.

Beautiful Property and Great Location

The property itself was amazing. I stayed with a group of friends and they all said it was even better than they expected in terms of the layout and how well decorated it was. The living room and kitchen gave us a great space to all hang out, and the deck was small, but really nice. Additionally, it was walking distance from all the places we wanted to go in downtown Saugatuck, so the location couldn't be beaten.

Beautiful property in fantastic location!

We stayed here for Mother's Day: me, my husband and my 1.5 year old daughter, and my mother in law. The layout is perfect for this kind of thing - my mother in law stayed downstairs, the hang space is in the 2nd floor, our room was on the 3rd floor and there was a kids room on the 3rd floor. Each bedroom has their own full bath. It would be fun to come back with family friends - plenty of sleep space in the kids room for everyone to share!

Girls trip

Very clean, very safe, plenty of rooms and beds comfortably for 8. Lots of stairs so if you struggle with steps or have a handicap this is not the place for you. I would definitely book a stay here again should I visit Saugatuck. Both bedrooms upstairs have an en suite, powder room off kitchen and full bath on 1st level.

Family trip with our two sons, one daughter in law and one grandson. Everything was clean and in good repair upon arrival. The location is awesome, easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. The upstairs did not cool well but sleeping was ok. The smaller upstairs bath was quite dark and one of the light bulbs were out, unfortunately it wasn’t something you could easily replace so that was a bit frustrating. The kitchen was well equipped except no can opener. Also the coffee maker is not a drip one as it described and we planned for so you have to bring along pods, not great for a larger group. Overall a great stay and wonderful destination.
