great place to spend the week with friends

Great house with a beautiful view. Plenty of room for eight adults and close to Saugatuck. Great kitchen for cooking dinners and then late night board games at the dinner table. Sunset views at the fire pit is a must!

Awesome beachfront retreat

Really well appointed house and right on the water. We loved this property and can’t wait to come back. The house itself is secluded but is 15 minutes away from grocery stores and restaurants. This is one of my favorite spots on the west coast of Michigan

Slice of heaven

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! All details were meticulously thought out. All we were missing was water shoes and large floaties for the water as the beach is very rocky.

Views for days

This property is stunning inside and out. The beach was lovey and easy to access from the steps. We enjoyed nightly fires and gorgeous sunsets. If you cook, plan to bring your own spices - there wasn't even salt!!

Gorgeous Lake Views

We spent 3 nights in this beautiful property and wish we could have stayed longer. Clean, well maintained and near Saugatuk and Holland. Best part of house is awesome lake views from banks of windows overlooking Lake Michigan. A few stairs down to a deck and then a few more to the shore. Excellent location to search for rocks along the shore. Highly recommend and hope to return next summer!

The property was absolutely stunning, well stocked, and clean! It was an amazing layout - perfect for families. We were impressed with the thoughtful book selections, two dishwashers, toys and games, literally every kitchen gadget possible, extra sheets, towels and blankets, first aid kit — small details a lot of people miss. The kids area in the basement was also perfect! We roasted marshmallows in the fire pit, brought the chairs down to the beach to watch the kids play, and appreciated the fact that we didn’t have to strip the beds after a busy weekend! Saugatuck is just 10 minutes away with lots of cute shops, restaurants, and of course ice cream! The kids had so much fun playing in the lake, looking for rocks, and climbing. We all enjoyed catching the sunset in our arms, and watching storms roll in! All in all it was a beautiful weekend and location to host out of town family for our wedding in Saugatuck!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear Florence Ely Hunn House was the perfect gathering place for your family during such a special weekend. It means a lot that you noticed all the little touches—from the well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful book collection to the toys, games, extra linens, and beach chairs. We love creating a home where guests can simply relax and enjoy their time together. It sounds like your family made wonderful memories around the fire pit, at the beach, and exploring nearby Saugatuck. Congratulations on the wedding, and thank you for letting us be a small part of such a meaningful celebration. We hope to welcome you back again for another family getaway!

Beautiful and peaceful

This property sits on a bluff overlooking the lake with amazing views. There are 60 steps down to the beach that is private. We loved playing in the sand and water, flying kites, and looking for rocks. The house had plenty of space for our group of 11 without feeling crowded. There was plenty of thoughtful extras from a welcome basket to a first aid kit that the 3 year old needed for a scrape. We would have liked to have more screens on the windows to take advantage of the lake breezes. All of the adults commented on the firm mattresses. This is a beautiful property and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Mind blowing weekend

We gathered a group of friends and family here for a weekend retreat, and we were stunned at the beauty of the property. The view is amazing from inside the house. It was so windy and mostly rainy, all weekend and we couldn't really enjoy being outside much, but it didn't matter. We all sat in the living room and worked in the kitchen, and it was life-changing. The fireplace in the bedroom was amazing. I've never had the chance to be somewhere so luxurious, and everyone else said the same. We read a bit about the architect and were so moved by her story. What a rebel. The hosts were very easy to communicate with, and even had the housekeeper bring over blankets when the temperature dropped by 10 degrees overnight. It all felt so aligned, and we would love to come back! This property is one of the A+ stunner properties in the area - if you're weighing multiple properties, pick this one!
