The perfect location! The Postcard Cottage in the heart of downtown Douglas.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Perfectly located just steps from downtown Douglas. The Postcard cottage is a sun filled bright space with its modern and vintage charm that has everything you might need to make your getaway more enjoyable. This walkable quaint village is the midwest destination for beach lovers and art enthusiasts. Douglas offers some of the best art galleries in west Michigan including just steps away from J. Petter Gallery, wine bar and wine shop with over 400 plus wines, Water Street Gallery, The Button Gallery and more.

Oval beach, with its stunning views, sandy beach and breathtaking sunsets, is known as one of the top 25 beaches in the world by Conde' Nast Travelers, only a short car or bike ride away. Take a stroll or bike ride to Douglas Beach with a paved pathway from the cottage. On your way stop at the iconic Root Beer barrel for a quick lunch served out of a giant root beer barrel building or across the street is the Woosah store and Outside Coffee Co.

This 2 bedroom 1 bath vintage charmer with its white picket fence is an art filled gem with all your modern amenities of today. The Postcard Cottage is a perfect location for a family/group of 4 or a romantic couples getaway.
The well appointed kitchen is stocked full and equipped with stainless steel appliances for your use. There are 2 bedrooms each with queen beds and ample closets/storage. The spacious bathroom is located off the primary bedroom and features a large soaking tub with a fully tiled shower, marble tiled flooring and lighted makeup mirror. There is also a washer and dryer available for your use.

PLEASE NOTE: ACCESS TO THE BATHROOM IS ONLY THROUGH THE PRIMARY BEDROOM.

There is a beautiful large zen like screened in back porch to enjoy your morning cup of coffee with a good book or a glass of wine. In addition there is a sweet front porch with a view of the Kalamazoo River. Take an afternoon stroll through this quaint quiet neighborhood or walk a block away to enjoy a cup of coffee at Respite Cappuccino Court, breakfast at Happy Stance or cocktails at Everyday People among other choices. Also a 1/2 block away is the iconic Back Alley Pizza Joint. Wander just a few blocks away to Wades Bayou, where you can rent a paddle board or kayak and explore Lake Kalamazoo.

One of our favorites is the Farmhouse deli in Douglas, offering everything from house made soup/sandwiches, bakery, salads to prepared meals, perfect to pack a picnic lunch. Also, Saugatuck is just a short walk or bike ride across the bridge with additional boutique shops, eateries and galleries.

Less than a 15 minutes away from Douglas are the best wineries and more including Modales Winery, Fenn Valley Winery, and Virtue Cider. Head over to Cranes Orchard to buy or pick apples, stay for lunch and don't forget a pie flight for dessert. Enjoy a trip to Evergreen Lane Creamery to taste the best local goat cheeses. Also in season enjoy a trip to Summer House Lavender farm with a gift shop full of amazing soaps, essential oils and lavender bouquets.

End of summer getaway

This home is beautiful and has so much charm. The location is surrounded by nature, but just steps to downtown shops and restaurants. My family loved having time to cook in that fabulous kitchen and relax on the porch for morning coffee or out back in the evenings. It’s the perfect place to recharge. We hope to stay again. Thank you Renee!

It was a very quaint cottage style home. Very clean and updated. Loved the sunroom…great for meditation! Perfect location to downtown Douglas…we walked to our restaurant the first night. Very close to Saugatuck…maybe five minute drive! Enjoyed our time in Saugatuck. Great place to stay and great host Renee!

Perfection!

My husband and I are recent empty nesters who decided to take a short weekend away in the Douglas/Saugatuck area. We were so delighted to find Renee’s Postcard Cottage in the perfect location. She was delightful and even greeted us to hand over the keys. The house was exceptionally clean and filled with every amenity. We especially loved that there were bikes to ride around town so we took advantage and rode down to the Root beer Barrel for some refreshments. Great weekend and cannot recommend enough!

Where to begin…what a gem!! It is as even better in-person than the listing gives credit for. Perfect location, meticulously curated, thoughtful throughout. Even down to the welcome gift (bottle of wine and new hot wheel car for our toddler) It was our first time visiting Michigan’s western coast, but thanks in part to Renee, we will be back!

A true vacation!

My three adult daughters and I stayed at the Postcard Cottage for three nights last week. Renee is an excellent host, communicative and generous. She thought of so many details to make our stay wonderful- from bananas, snacks and bottles of water in the fridge, towels, beach chairs and lists of local restaurants and activities. We slept very well and I found lots of ideas on how to make our own home more welcoming. We will definitely reserve this cottage again when we travel to Douglas.

Completely accurate listing

The host provides everything you need to be comfortable: coffee, filters, a selection of tea, "in case you forgot" toiletries, wood for the fire pit, etc. The house is as lovely as the listing depicts, and you can walk to restaurants and shops. The bikes that appear in the photo are actually there to use. Saugatuck is a 10-minute ride away. Renee creates such a peaceful, relaxing environment - we didn't want to leave! I highly recommend staying here.

Ladies’ Trip

I stayed with two of my closest friends in this adorable house. The lovely host thought of absolutely everything. She offered several suggestions for places to go and things to see. The location was perfect! Just steps to downtown Douglas where we enjoyed breakfast, coffee, and lovely shops. We were a short car ride from a quaint lavender farm, winery, Crane’s bakery and the most amazing breakfast at Pennyroyal. We loved the shops of downtown Saugatuck and will be sure to reserve this cottage for any future trips we make to this area.

Amazing Stay!

My wife, son (almost 2) and I had an amazing stay at the Postcard Cottage. Before our stay, Renee reached out to provide a number of helpful suggestions, ask about any needs for our toddler and even accommodated an early check-in so we could stay on his nap schedule. The home and town were perfect. The cottage was in mint condition - we especially enjoyed sitting by the outdoor fire pit and in the screened in porch. Couldn't recommend this home more for two couples or a family of four!

Beautiful cottage a block from the main street but quiet and lovely. Screened in porch provided a tranquil spot for reading. Art on every wall, and every possible amenity in the kitchen.Comfortable, even with a third person for one night. Delightful hosts as well.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location

The Postcard Cottage is a lovely getaway on a quiet street, within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants and the park in downtown Douglas. The host is generous and thoughtful - all sorts of amenities are available for a very comfortable stay. Our children enjoyed the games and toys that were available, including colored pencils and drawing paper for some creative time. We spent a lot of time enjoying the screened-in porch in back and the Adirondack chairs on the front porch. High end appliances and finishes surround you in this picture-perfect Postcard Cottage!

Absolutely wonderful!!

Renee, the host was so helpful and accommodating. The Postcard Cottage did not disappoint! The Cottage was immaculately clean and decorated as if the owner was a professional. Renee was kind enough to stock the Cottage with anything that we may have needed during our trip. Very tastefully decorated also. We loved the Cottage and had a wonderful time. The neighborhood was great and we always felt very safe when we ventured out. Renee was always quick to respond if we had any questions. I highly recommend you book the Postcard Cottage if your visiting the area soon....I know we will if we ever return to Michigan. FYI, during the week, the restaurants close early, so either prepare for cooking your own supper or eat before you check in. But if you decide to cook (which we did not), Renee has made sure you have everything you could possibly need to prepare your meals. Thanks Renee for being such a Wonderful Host!

First VRBO and 6 out of 5 stars 🌟

This was our first time ever renting a VRBO property. Typically my wife has been very much against doing one but this one fit everything we were looking for. We were doing a couple's weekend with some close friends who live a few States away. So we were looking for a house experience instead of a hotel so we can have breakfast and nights together hanging around instead of having it be in a public space. This place had a dining area with table a living room with cottages and chairs and a screened in gazebo. Meaning with three wonderful places to have different experiences throughout the day and weekend. We actually did not even realize how great of a location the house was and were able to walk to Main Street in Douglas and grab coffee in the morning within a 2 minute walk and walk to the water in the marina for a sunrise. Renee the owner was beyond thoughtful and you could tell she put a lot of time and energy and care into making the experience just right. There were far more things in the house readily available for us, like snacks coffee tea she even left some water and yogurts in the fridge for us. The property was spot on clean and extremely well decorated and just felt exactly what we were looking for and Beyond. It Each room is certainly not large, but and the only drawback was the one bathroom in the main bedroom, but we knew that going into it and were totally fine with it and ended up not being a problem for us. I would definitely go back and tell friends about it.
