Family Wedding

What a perfect place to spend with family for wedding celebrations. The location was ideal - just a short walk to shops and restaurants - and across the street from some of the best fried chicken we've ever had! Jean was an amazing host - very quick and attentive and kind with responses. The home is very open, comfortable, clean and roomy. The outdoor area/patio was the ideal size for family gatherings/BBQs/campfire/etc. - exactly as the pictures portrayed. Definitely would stay again and recommend.

Most Memorable Christmas

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! What a beautiful and cozy home with all the things we needed! We played games, watched movies, sat by the fire, enjoyed the hot tub, and had a yummy dinner right across the street! We traveled into town to shop and even to the neighboring town of Holland. Such a lovely place to visit! Thankful we found this gem!

NYE Getaway

The house was great, the host was super helpful in communicating info and giving us suggestions on things to do. The hot tub was awesome to enjoy and the fire pit was super spacious for our group. The kids loved roasting marshmallows. We had a group of 12, including an infant, small kids and adults. Everyone had a blast.

Family Vacation

This carriage house is so beautiful inside and outside. We had so much fun. Went to the beach, listen to a concert in the park went on the Donut Boat. Hiked a little which was close to the house. Had dinner at The Southerner-just across the street from the house. Best fried chicken and tasty biscuits.

Wonderful experience!

Beautiful property, convenient location, host was great at communicating & lots of special treats - coffee, S’mores, plenty of linens & beds for our group of 9. Could not have had a better time! Thought we’d rent bikes, but everywhere was a 10 minute walk or less (except the beach, but that was a 10 minute easy drive). Cannot recommend highly enough.

Girls week

This was our third year in this wonderful house and it was another perfect vacation. This house has so many options for sleeping and being together; it is located within walking distance to Saugatuck (our favorite place in Michigan!) and Lake Michigan so there is no shortage of things to do. This house is perfect for families and friends and the owners just couldn't be more welcoming and helpful; they have been lovely to deal with. Anyone who stays will be happy here and leave with the most amazing memories. Don't hesitate!

Carriage House was wonderful!

We had our entire family stay at the carriage house, and we had more than enough beds and rooms to accommodate everyone. We loved the backyard with the hot tub and the fire pit. It was also big enough for my kids to throw the football around! The front porch was a wonderful spot to drink our morning coffee! We walked into town at least once a day/night, and it was a very easy walk! The location was perfect to downtown, Oval Beach, the golf courses nearby, the mini golf course, and Saugatuck Dune Rides!

Stay June 4-11, 2023

All was well. Jeanne was very good with communicating. I believe they were full and single bed. A little too small for two people. Me and my husband slept separate. If you have a bad back, you may want to bring something firm for your bed. Overall it was fine for just my family.

Great Place for Ladies Weekend!

My friends and I spent the weekend at the Carriage House and it worked out great! The owner was great with her communication, the house had plenty of bedrooms, and there were a lot of extra touches to make our stay even more comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck for drinks and laughs and there was plenty of parking spaces for 4 cars. The location was very close to downtown Saugatuck, but we still drove due the cold and packages. :)

About the host

Hosted by Jean Lankford

My husband and I stayed in Saugatuk every Labor Day weekend at the Rosemont Inn in Douglas, Michigan and fell in love with the area. I finally talked him into buying a property since we visited so often. We just fell in love with the peacefulness and relaxation when we would pull up to our new home. Since we cannot always stay at our home away from home, we decided we wanted to share it with you. Please come and visit Saugatuk and see what we mean.

Why they chose this property

We provide an open concept for family gatherings inside for all seasons. Pet friendly with a large backyard for your dog to freely romp around and explore. Room enough for family games of Cornhole and an evening campfire for new memories to take home with you. Downtown Saugatuk is within a few minutes of walking distance. The best Southern Restaurant is right across the street.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located within miles of neighboring towns for you to explore such as Douglas, Holland, South Haven, Grand Haven, and Fennville.
