This rental is a charming, two bedroom cottage perfect for a romantic couples' get-a-way or small family vacation. It has an ideal location just two houses from downtown shops and restaurants and is secluded on a dead end,. cul-de-sac with little traffic or pedestrian noise. The cottage has a very private stone patio in the back off the master bedroom which has an umbrella table and chairs and a chimenea for romantic fires, on those cool nights. The large side yard is nicely landscaped and is a great place for a picnic, yard games or child's play. The cottage is Pet Friendly and there's even a bike rack for securing your bike. Pickleball and Tennis courts are just a few blocks away.

Being just a stone's throw from downtown you'll find yourself walking everywhere. The Cottage is also only a block away from the river and Wickes Park where you can sit and watch the river boat traffic, people watch or fish. The chain ferry is at the end of the street and can take you across the river where you can walk or ride your bike to the beach.

Having two (2) on-site parking spots is especially welcoming when you drive somewhere and come back later to find them waiting on your return and being the only two open spots anywhere around. You'll enjoy your time in this cottage and the ease of access to downtown. You'll definitely want to return.

The cottage is rented weekly during the Summer Season and nightly during the Spring and Fall with a 2 or 3 night minimum stay.

Two small dogs (20 lbs each or less or one medium sized) are allowed with the owner's approval and payment of a Pet Fee. Please read the included Pet Policy requirements; especially the need to kennel/crate your pet(s) whenever left alone in the cottage.

Our linen package includes bed pads, pillows, pillow cases, sheets and blankets. Bath mats & dish towels are also provided. However, It is necessary for you to bring your own bath and beach towels. Obviously, the washer/dryer will make this requirement easier.

Another great vacation

We had another great stay at the cottage. The cottage is just perfect for us and is located within a walking distance of dowtown Saugatuck and is a quick drive for day trips to surrounding communities (Holland and South Haven to name a few). Thanks Gary and Janet - we'll see you next year.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Kemp

Host profile image
Jan and Gary owned and operated the Marywood Manor Suites and Cottages for over 20 years. Jan was a licensed Real Estate Broker and owner of a local real estate office for many years. Gary was Vice President of a Fortune 500 office furniture manufacture before retirement. They sailed and lived aboard their 44' catamaran for pver 15 winters in
Florida and the Bahamas. Since selling their boat in 2015 they have spent winters in Naples, Florida.

Why they chose this property

They bought this cottage because it looked like a wonderful rental cottage and was just across the street from Marywood Manor. The cottage has since been updated with many improvements over the years into one of the more cozy, charming cottages in the heart of downtown Saugatuck

What makes this property unique

You'll love the location of the cottage just off the downtown business district and will appreciate its' quiet seclusion on the dead-end of Mary Street. You'll also love the intimacy and coziness that is very relaxing. Besides being a romantic get away it is also an ideal cottage for a young couple with small children. With a busy kiddie park just a block away and the nice side yard for lawn games and child's play it works perfectly for kids. The owners also accept small pets as long as the tenant agrees to their Pet Policy. There is a large stone patio off the Master bedroom that has an outdoor table and chairs and a chimenea for providing a cozy fire on a romantic evening of quiet conversation and a glass of wine. This cottage has all the privacy and conveniences as well as being in an ideal location with great access to Saugatuck's shops and restaurants.
