Great property and location

We met friends here for a long weekend stay and loved the location of this property. Douglas was quieter than Saugatuck and we could walk to a great deli, coffee shops, grocery, restaurants, and Douglas Beach. We enjoyed a night in with the grill and fire pit, too. The house was very clean and comfortable for our party of 4. I would stay here again!

Amazing Michigan Cottage!

Our stay at Douglas Cottage was the perfect location for our Memorial Day weekend getaway! The house was clean, beautifully decorated and had a great location for outings to downtown areas of Douglas and Saugatuck and Oval Beach. It was well-furnished with everything we needed. We enjoyed the firepit and patio each evening and the frequent sightings of deer, turkeys and bluejays. The whole family would highly recommend!

Kids loved the location and access to bike friendly communities. Very comfortable couch, nice screened in back porch. Didn’t have a great selection of cooking utensils, bought a wine key in town and left it for future renters. Could use a few more family games. Books in the bunk room were appreciated! Overall would stay again.

This house is perfect! Great location! My husband and I are walkers. We stayed for a week and walked to Saugatuck most days, a 22 minute easy walk. Saugatuck is an adorable little town on the Kalamazoo river with great restaurants and shopping and walkways with benches to watch the excellent boat traffic. Douglass was also a quick walk, maybe 3 minutes with restaurants and shops. Douglas beach was an easy 16 minute walk. We walked there in the evenings to watch the amazing sunset on Lake Michigan. We walked from Douglas beach to Oval beach one morning, a great walk! We enjoyed the back porch, having dinner there from Mambo Pizza right next door 4 nights. The town of Holland is just a 15 minute drive, a beautiful little town with fabulous restaurants shopping. This house would have easily accommodated another couple w children, or 3 couples.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time, such a convenient location, close to farmhouse, the root beer barrel, and the beach. We spent the weekend all over Saugatuck and Douglas and loved coming back to the fenced yard and screened porch at night. A really great house. Thanks for being such great hosts!
