Birthday Retreat and Celebration of Life

This was a very significant birthday for me, that required a special and relaxing getaway. My mother and I have the same birthday, July 2 and we gave never missed a birthday ever, over 60 years. However my mother just passed away this June 9 and I found myself needing to do something very different to commentate my first birthday without my best friend. I didn’t know what to do and she sent me a sign to get to a beach, so I went online and booked this incredible guest cottage in the heart of the village of Saugatuck. It was splendid! The hosts were fabulous!! The food was wonderful!! The location is incredible!! It exceeded my expectations of what my first birthday flying solo could have been. Happy Birthday Mama!! I miss you so very much. I love you! Lynnie

Wonderful Getaway

My fiancé and I had a wonderful 4 night stay in a cozy carriage house that was literally less than a block to town. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Stay!

Perfect stay with a perfect location right in the heart of the town. Very clean with a cozy little balcony. Lorenzo was very easy to work with from an easy check in all the way through the checkout. Highly recommended and I would definitely stay here again.

Great location!

The carriage house was perfect for me, my husband and our 3 year old. The space was larger than expected. Perfect location too. In the mornings we would walk to the local coffee shop and pick up a breakfast sandwich and enjoy on the private deck. The hosts were great. Our son left his favorite blue truck there and Lorenzo mailed it back to us no problem. Would definitely stay here again.

Cannot beat the location, just 1 block from main street and 2 blocks to water. Memorable, unique pro

The hostess was friendly and very responsive, returned texts quickly. The room could have been cleaned better and beds were not made up well. The kitchenette was adequate with coffee pot but no coffee or napkins. Very nice hand soap & lotion was provided. You will feel as if you are relaxing in a tree house, windows on all sides.

Very Disappointing!

The “Carriage House” is actually a room over a detached garage next to the owner’s home. It contains windows as shown in the photo. Yet, what the photo does not make clear is there are no shades or curtains, not even on the door. Thus, no privacy. It has a small deck as shown in the photo, but what the photo does not show is that the view to the right of the deck is a large church parking lot which borders the property. There is a reason the listing does not contain a photo of the bathroom as it is small and unpleasant and that would be the case even if after each flush the toilet did not run until the cord was disentangled. That the listing suggests there is a “kitchen” is misleading as the room simply contains a small microwave and a mini-fridge in the corner. When we arrived, the room was musty, the type of odor that makes you wonder if there is mold somewhere in the room. The room was also cold. The owner told us he planned to add a second portable heater to the one that hummed in the corner, which was the only heat source. When we returned some time later, we plugged in the second heater we found waiting for us. Immediately the electricity went off. Since the owner had refused to provide us with his number, the only way we had to reach him was through the VRBO email. We eventually connected with the owner who had been out, but he could not figure out where the fuse box or circuit box was, and he had people coming over for a dinner party. He offered an extension cord to run from the garage to the rental, but did not explain how that would work, as we would have had to leave our door ajar all night. Temperatures dropped into the low forty degrees Fahrenheit that night. He never did fix the problem. We had no heat and no hot water. The only fuse that had not blown gave us three dim overhead lights. When we still had not heard from him the next day by mid-afternoon, we sent the owner another email through the VRBO website advising that we had no choice but to leave given that we had no heat, no light, and no hot water. We packed our things and left, cutting our long weekend short. We politely asked for a refund. The owner has curtly refused. We understand that things happen. What matters is what someone does when things happen. Here, the owner did nothing.

Lovely fall getaway

Nice spot one block from the shops and restaurants of town. We were greeted by Christine on arrival. The room is very comfortable, clean and quiet. We also visited Douglas, Fennville and S. Haven during our stay and enjoyed seeing the fall colors.

Great location. Unique experience.

This property is not your run of the mill home rental. Staying at the carriage house is an experience of itself that was truly amazing. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the decor of carriage house is beyond words. The owners, Lorenzo and Christine, are wonderful people that we were so grateful we had the chance talk with over a bottle of wine. If you are looking for a truly unique experience with your Saugatuck trip, book the carriage house.

Saugatuck Serenity

The carriage house room in Saugatuck is a great get-away spot. It's literally 2 blocks into town and the river. Lorenzo and Christine who live in the main house are welcoming, gracious, and generous hosts. I highly recommend this property!
