Nice location near downtown Saugatuck and Kalamazoo River
We found the cottage to be a warm and cozy place to enjoy our 10 day visit to west Michigan. We tried several restaurants and some hiking trails in/near Saugatuck and the cottage is a short, easy drive from Holland where there is additional shopping, dining, hiking and beaches. The neighborhood was quiet and off the main highway; we also had nice views of the bridge over the Kalamazoo River from the back of the house. Our host, Joncie, was quick to respond to messages.

Adorable
Great little cottage. Clean and cozy. Awesome kitchen for a smaller sized property. The cottage itself has some lovely interior architecture features you won’t see in a hotel. Hostess very responsive. Plan to stay again.

Cozy cottage on the hill
My friend and I enjoyed a quiet mom getaway. It was a beautiful setting and the cottage had a really cozy vibe! The cottage was about 3 minutes drive to downtown Saugatuck making everything really accessible. Thanks for making it a relaxing stay.

Perfect Saugatuck getaway!
Very clean, and accurately described home. The location is perfect, and close to everything. Plenty of seating, and furniture. The only recommendation would be to switch out the bed in the 1st bedroom. We decided not to use it after the 1st night. Not appropriate for an adult and extremely hard. Still a 5 star review as this is a very nice property at a fair price. We would recommend and would stay again.

Little Hideaway Near Saugatuck
Sweet well kept little hideaway for the two of us and our dog. Property was well maintained and decorated with a touch of the eclectic. Loved the fenced in side patio with fire pit. Cute balcony off the back of the house that overlooked a woodsy natural back yard best for viewing from a balcony as it was on a hill. We thought there was a park nearby to walk the dog but it didn't materialize, however it was in a tucked away little area of homes that allowed for walking on leash on the road. Needs hand rails at front door and from the kitchen down to the lower level exit for the patio that would have been appreciated by us as we are older and can use that extra help when using stairs. Dishwasher needed some attention and light over the stove needed to be replaced. Ample bathroom with shower and tub and large mirror over the sink. Bathtub needed a safety mat in the tub for sure-footedness. All shared with the owner whom we presume will consider some additions/alterations. Walk to town is impractical. Driving across a busy road was preferred and finding a parking spot in the busy resort town of Saugatuck was preferred but difficult to locate parking on a weekend. All in all we enjoyed our stay and felt we had a lot of solitude especially on the patio.
