Highly recommend you stay here for your trip to Saugatuck! The home was amazing! I gave 5 stars!" Michael S. "This rental was perfect for our group--cozy but plenty of space, felt home-y and just right for Saugatuck. I had initially been concerned about the distance to town, but the walk was much shorter and easier than I expected. The hosts were very responsive, which made checking in and out was a piece of cake.. Would definitely recommend." Molly B. "This is a very comfortable house in a great location! It was a very short car ride to downtown Saugatuck, with great restaurants and shopping. A nice golf course was also a quick drive in the other direction. Would stay here again" Bernice K. "We booked this property for a large group of people reuniting after several years. there was plenty of room to hang out and play a little croquet. Easy walk into town." Kris T.
