About the host
Hosted by Rachel Hillman
I love to explore new areas with my husband and family. Michigan is our home base and provides lots of opportunities for diving into good food & drink, art, and fresh air.
While we are off exploring, we have created a space for guests to enjoy our small slice of tranquility in Saugatuck.

Why they chose this property
Our guiding principle has been to design the type of vacation rental we crave whenever we travel: a private and comfortable place that's close to everything yet peaceful. A place with super-fast Internet in a setting where we just want to unplug, relax in the hot tub, and play games at the big dining room table.
What makes this property unique
+ New Jacuzzi Spa hot tub for 7
+ Private trails throughout 3.5 acres
+ 5-10 minutes from beaches, wineries/breweries, galleries, and fantastic restaurants
