We had a wonderful stay at The Gambrel in Sagatuck, MI! It was perfect for our family getaway with kids-plenty of space, comfortable, and beautifully set up for relaxation. The fall weather made the whole experience even more special; the colorful leaves created the most stunning backdrop right outside our windows.The hot tub and sauna were absolutely deluxe and a huge hit with everyone. The home was clean, inviting, and had everything we needed for a cozy, memorable weekend.We would absolutely recommend this property and look forward to staying here again

About the host

Host profile image
We’re Johnny and Michelle, Chicago residents who, after falling in love with Saugatuck, decided to make this enchanting town our home.

Our travels have deepened our appreciation for luxury and comfort, and they’ve shaped our approach to hospitality. We aim to bring the same warmth and attention to detail that we seek when we travel. Each of our homes have been thoughtfully designed with the high standards we hold for our own family vacations.

Why they chose this property

Black Barn Ridge is a secluded sanctuary nestled within 20 acres of pristine, private woodlands, offering a collection of luxurious rental homes. These are the first ever to grace this untouched land, where we carefully preserved the natural landscape by minimizing tree removal and working in harmony with the environment. During your stay, you’ll be enveloped by the beauty of the forest and its native inhabitants, including deer, wild turkeys, hawks, eagles, foxes, and box turtles. This enchanting nature retreat is just minutes from the vibrant heart of downtown Saugatuck, and a short drive from all the exciting activities this charming region has to offer. It’s the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure—an oasis where nature and modern comfort meet.

What makes this property unique

The Gambrel is a refined luxury modern farmhouse retreat, where timeless charm meets contemporary elegance. Each property at Black Barn Ridge boasts its own distinctive design and character, while all sharing the same exceptional amenities and personalized, world-class hospitality. Ideal for wellness retreats, celebrations, hosting wedding guests, and family getaways, our on-site luxuries, combined with the bespoke services available through our concierge program, ensure that every stay is an unforgettable, first-class experience.
