Perfect for family and large dog

Great location- Quiet street and only a 10 minute walk via sidewalks to town/ shopping district. Very spacious house and fenced in yard- Our golden retriever couldn’t have been happier! Perfect and thoughtful hosts- the house has everything you will need including towels by the door for wet dog feet in the event of rain! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Saugatuck!

Beautiful property, close enough to walk to downtown. We really enjoyed the screened porch. The front door lock was a bit temperamental and tricky to figure out but we got it eventually.

Adorable, spacious cottage

My family stayed in the starry night cottage for a wedding in Saugatuck this past weekend. We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage is much bigger than what the pictures imply. My favorite part was relaxing in the screened-in porch and seeing all the monarch butterflies flying around in the backyard full of beautiful wild flowers. It was in a very cute neighborhood right down the road from downtown Saugatuck. We plan on coming back next year! P.S. there is now a king bed in one of the rooms.

This cottage is even bigger and nicer than it looks in the pictures. We really enjoyed the spacious, fully equipped kitchen and the lovely screened-in back porch. The street is quiet and it's an easy walk to town.

Wedding weekend

My friends and I had a wonderful time using the house for a wedding weekend. Clean, spacious, cute, and very close to downtown. Checkin and checkout processes were seamless with great communication from the host. Would love to come again and bring my fur baby next time as it is dog friendly :) thanks for a beautiful weekend!!

Great space, perfect location!

This is our second time staying here. Tracey is a great host! Check in instructions were very clear & easy. The space is even better than the pictures. It’s a nice big open floor plan. They also recently painted, updated one of the bathrooms and added a king size bed in the middle bedroom. The couches are comfy and so are the beds. The yard and screened in porch are great. The location is so close to coffee & restaurants and shops but away enough to relax in the peace and quiet. We were on the go too much to cook our own meals but everything you would need is there. The little touches are are so sweet, like a welcome sign and a bottle of local wine. Tracey is very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely check availability for this cottage any time we are back in town.

Off-season beach getaway

Tracey and Tim, Starry Night could not have been more perfect for our fall getaway with our dog. Each night, we walked to Saugatuck for dinner, which was closer than we expected, and our dog enjoyed the fenced-in yard in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood. My husband and I joked that whoever cleans Starry Night needs to come and clean ours because it was impeccable.

Spacious and convenient lodging for exploring the Michigan art coast

This rental made our week in the Saugatuck area so relaxing and pleasant. Everything about it was spot-on: clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and great location. It would be great for families although we came as a couple and loved having all the extra space. The screened-in porch was so nice for morning coffee or early evening Happy Hour. We explored from South Haven to north of Grand Haven throughout the week so the Saugatuck location was convenient. Also the rental is walking distance to downtown Saugatuck so no need to take a car there. I would definitely return to this rental and will be recommending it to my traveling friends! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!

Spacious , comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood

We had a great stay at Starry Night Cottage with our adult son and his girlfriend and their dog. The cottage is close to everything in town but away from the hustle and bustle, on a pleasant, tree-and-flower-filled residential street, which was exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out and find some privacy if we needed it, while the screened porch provided the perfect space for relaxing, talking, reading, or drinking a morning coffee. We also appreciated the well-provided, large kitchen because we like to cook for ourselves most of the time. All in all, it met our expectations and then some. Just a few small items on our wish list -- we wished there were a few hooks or towel bars in the larger bathroom. We also wished we could have used the picnic table outside, but there were too many weeds growing under and around it. Other than those items, the place was perfect.

Great time in a great place

Four adults and our 2 dogs stayed for 4 days in early October and it was wonderful. The house is spacious, very clean, and well stocked. The location is very good--in a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to town. We liked the back screened porch for relaxing and the big kitchen table for most of our meals. It was very reasonably priced compared to many other places we looked at, and we were very pleased with our stay there. The only issue we had was trying to figure out the tv so we could watch baseball playoffs, but eventually we managed it. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks so much, Tracey!
