Attentive host, perfect home!

We had a group of 5 women for a Girls weekend and this home was perfect! Enjoyed evening bonfire in the secluded backyard and board games at the large kitchen table! Home was clean, beds were comfy and close to town!

A Perfect Country Getaway!

Our stay at the Country Cottage was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The home was even more charming than the photos—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. We especially loved the peaceful surroundings, with stunning views of the countryside and plenty of space to relax and unwind.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals, and the cozy living room was the ideal spot to curl up with a book or enjoy a movie after a day of exploring. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we all slept like babies thanks to the quiet, serene atmosphere.The hosts were wonderful—friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They provided excellent recommendations for nearby attractions and dining, which really enhanced our experience.If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home, I can’t recommend the Country Cottage enough. We’re already planning our next visit!

Early bday gift for my wife

The stay was absolutely amazing… we have stayed here before and came back since the place is really quiet and love the wild life we get to see… this time we saw wild turkeys run through the backyard and deer… it is great having beaches near by and we absolutely love the farm right across the street.. Dee is so funny and always has a story to tell…Thank you again for our lovely stay and hope to return again next year

The property was perfect for our stay, and it was nice to have the patio area and firepit to enjoy the evenings outside. Close to the beach either way you go.

Quiet and nice

This was a nice place to stay during a wedding we had in Sagautuck, MI. It was very clean and quiet. It also had a nice patio to sit and enjoy coffee in the morning, where we saw lots of deer! However, the beds were not very comfortable and my group had trouble sleeping. Would definitely stay here again if the beds were upgraded!

Perfect rental for family and dog

This rental was just as described and very suitable for our family with two small children and a dog. We visited 3 area beaches and also played at the county park down the road. The 3rd day we visited Saugatuck Dunes State Park which has a beautiful beach. It is about a 15 min hike to the beach from the parking lot which was a small struggle for 2 small children and a wagon full of toys but well worth it. We would come again!

Home away from home

The location was perfect! Private and beautiful but close to the town and beaches. The house was so clean and came with everything we needed. Comfy beds and plenty of towels. They had games for the family and a nice fire pit.

Nice property Accomodating hosts

Enjoyed our stay here for a family wedding in Saugatuck. While property location is a decent walk to farms, beach and parks- the streets are narrow and there isn't a wide shoulder so really not walkable. The owners were very responsive and accomodating

Quiet getaway

House is very clean, and look waaay nice and cozy, than I saw on the picture. My kids loved that place! We didn’t get a chance to enjoy a snow ( that’s why we made 1300 miles for), but our little vacation we spent feeling like at home. Thank you very much to the owner for everything! We are looking forward to come over again🙂

Weekend at SW Michigan

The house is as advertised, a half mile from a farm that sells eggs and jams. Spacious backyard and back porch. About 15 minutes from South Haven and a lot of parks and trails are near. Quiet near the house as it’s down a private drive of maybe five or so residences. House has plenty of room for six people.

Successful girls weekend!

A wonderful property! Large private yard. Plenty of room for 6 adults and one 11 year old. Clean and nicely decorated. Stocked with plenty of extra bedding, cooking/serving/eating supplies and board games. The location was perfect for us, quite and relaxing but so close to Saugatuck and Holland especially for the price. The property manager was very responsive, accommodating and kind. We felt at home while there and had a great girls weekend making plenty of memories! I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!

Perfect little spot

The property is located on a private road with a HUGE backyard that our dogs enjoyed exploring. The house is SUPER CLEAN. The location is really central to so many places to explore. South Haven, wineries, the lavender farm and Saugatuck! We explored 3 different beach which were all great. Thank you to the wonderful hosts that made everything so simple and easy for us. Would definately stay there again.

Great sisters get away

The home smelled so good. The furniture and decor was up to date and very well done. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The patio and grill were a plus. The backyard was beautiful and quiet and the deer visited each evening. We encountered issues on night 2 with the internet and TV. The owners were very receptive and it was fixed the next afternoon. Directions to work the TV would have been helpful. Highly recommended. Location was close to Saugatuck, Douglas and downtown Fennville.
