REVIEWS "We loved our stay at Skipping Stone. Roomy house, everything you could possibly need.. Grill was great also! Neighborhood was a wooden enclave with deer grazing the front lawn. A nice paved walk leads to a lovely coffee shop and the iconic Douglas Root beer barrel. We highly recommend Skipping Stones for a Michigan getaway." Natalie L.

We loved the house! We had four teen girls there for a swim meet and it was the perfect location! Very clean and everything we needed was there. Loved the neighborhood and quick walk to Douglas beach.

Wonderful Spot
This is the second year we have stayed at this wonderful location and we booked again already for next year! Close to the beach and a short drive to town. The only thing we would love is to be able to open the windows on those cool Michigan nights. Thank you for another wonderful week!

We stayed with our 2 boys ages 14 & 7. We fell in love with the location of this property: Douglas Public Beach, the Root Beer Barrel, Woosah Coffee/Shop/Rental are all short walks from the property. And it is just a story bike ride or quick car ride to neighboring Saugatuck. It was near the end of the high season so the house needed a deeper clean but overall it was a great spot.

Beach and woods escape!
We loved your stay at Skipping Stone. Roomy house, everything you could possibly need including step stools and a wagon for the kids, to plenty of outdoor spaces. Grill was great also!
Neighborhood was a wooden enclave with deer grazing the front lawn. A nice paved walk leads to a lovely coffee shop and the iconic Douglas Root beer barrel.
We highly recommend Skipping Stones for a Michigan getaway.
