Family Stay

The cottage was well appointed for my family with two children. The kids really enjoyed the games in the basement. During our stay we cooked a couple of meals and found that kitchen had adequate supplies. The walking path across the street was convenient and made for a nice way to get to town, though it was cold and rainy during much of our trip, so we opted to drive most of the time.

We loved our stay at Sunshine cottage. The owner was very responsive, the rooms and cottage were bright and clean. We used the cute outside picnic table for a BBQ night, and had a wonderful fire that the owner set up for us on one of our nights. Close to bike path and downtown area where we enjoyed lazily watching boats go by, and had amazing food. Will stay here again!

The Johnson Family Bio & Mission.

Providing visitors with a comfortable stay along with all the conveniences to make this your home away from home is our family’s mission. We have come to love Saugatuck and consider it a magical place with each season bringing something special to enjoy.

For over 30 years our family has enjoyed the magic of Saugatuck from the Sunsets over the beaches, to the many restaurants and art stores, to the vineyards and orchards, to the dune rides, boat rides, kayaking, biking, hiking, just to name a few joys.

We wanted to have an opportunity to share the many joys that Saugatuck and it’s surrounding communities bring to those lucky enough to visit. The Johnson family undertook restoration of this midcentury cottage row structure now known as the “Saugatuck Cottage Suites,” located on the North end of Saugatuck directly across the street from the walking path to downtown Saugatuck.
We took feedback from many friends and family and provided all the conveniences for those with both an active lifestyle as well as those that want to kick back and relax.

Based on feedback we have provided: a secure easy in/out access for people that bring their bikes as each unit has its own attached garage with electric doors; two picnic tables per unit; fully equipped kitchens; strong internet for those of us that need to check in for work or relax and stream some Netflix or check in with Facebook; and convenient walking to restaurants; art stores and down town Saugatuck; as well as two parking spaces per cottage suite so no one has to look for parking when arriving or returning from the beach, vineyards or orchards.

We appreciate all your feedback. Please email us with any comments or suggestions at SaugatuckCottageSuites@ We want to continue our mission to provide a comfortable stay with the conveniences you enjoy to make you truly feel this is your home away from home.
