Tulip Festival

3 of my sisters, my daughter and I stayed for the tulip festival in Holland. Gave 4 stars rather than 5, only because we had a couple of minor issues. The host was very quick to respond and make sure we were happy with the rest of our stay. The house is in a great location and we enjoyed our stay. Did not take advantage of the hot tub, but that was our choice.

Great Cabin!

My husband and I took our two girls 7 and 3 for a spring break get-a-way. The cabin is very clean and spacious and we had fun playing pool and using the hot tub. Lots of cute shops and restaurants close by in Saugatuck and lots of kids activities in Holland. Would highly recommend!

Perfection!

We stayed at the sugar shack for two nights in February for a quick weekend getaway. The cabin was deceivingly huge!!! So much space. We could have brought all 5 of our kids and been comfortable. Todd was great with communication and was extremely accommodating. I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Saugatuck area.

Great week

We stayed at the sugar shack the week of the Fourth of July. It was in a nice quiet community of log cabins with a short walk to lake goshorn a very quiet little lake with a communal dock and beach that was very nice. It also had good proximity to local beaches and my 5 year old would highly recommend the dune rides at the end of the street.

Pre-Fourth getaway

Had a great stay at the Sugar Shack! Everything was perfect and cozy, a great place to unwind in the woods next to a fire or in the hot tub. Played pool in the basement, grilled out multiple nights, fished in Lake Goshorn, swam in Michigan at Oval Beach, sampled restaurants and breweries around Saugatuck and Douglass. Dune buggy ride was a major highlight. Wildfire haze was present all week but we barely noticed in the woods. We'll definitely be back again

A weekend at the Sugar Shack

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sugar Shack! Communication with Todd was great - any questions we had he answered within minutes. Check in was smooth and very easy. The house itself was exactly as described online. Everything was very clean and tidy prior to our arrival. We enjoyed using the hot tub, fire pit and game room downstairs. Overall, our weekend was a great little escape and we’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Saugatuck!

Practically perfect

Sugar Shack was everything we thought it would be...cozy, with enough space for our family of 5 with teens. Todd was so easy to communicate with, the cottage is well stocked with everything you will need and the extras were great. Our family loved the downstairs area with a pool table, sectional and TV to watch movies. Plus plenty of board games. We had a wonderful weekend away!

Perfect get away close to Chicago!

We wanted a cabin in the woods and that’s what we got! The hot tub was amazing and used constantly, the fireplace made reading cozy, and the house is so welcoming! We hoped for snow, but did some amazing hikes to Lake Michigan in 50° weather instead! We will be back!!!

Nice Fall Getaway

Nice little Fall trip made all the nicer by staying in a pretty log cabin. Loved the real wood burning fireplace and hot tub. Also nice seating outside around a fire pit! Fall color and leaves falling off trees made a walk to the quaint little lake very lovely. Had fun playing pool downstairs on a cold evening . Nice and clean and I would recommend this cabin.
