CLASSIC 1920'S SAUGATUCK COTTAGE - MODERN COMFORTS - SECLUDED - CLOSE TO BEACH!

We spent a lovely winter weekend at this cottage. We enjoyed dining at the great local restaurants. We had great meals at Everyday People Cafe, and the Elbo Room, and the pub at Clearbrook. All were family friendly and had amazing food. Saugatuck and Douglas are beautiful in the winter and the cottage was cozy and comfortable. The owner made us feel very welcome and provided everything we might need, including logs for the fireplace. The beds are very comfortable with good sheets! The kitchen is fully outifitted. Overall the cottage is very well maintained and was very clean.

We planned a somewhat last minute small family reunion and were lucky enough to find availability at this unique and most welcoming cottage. Quietly nestled among the tree's and down a winding road, it seems you are miles away. In fact Oval Beach is down the road and a 5 minute drive, downtown Saugatuck is a short drive and Douglas is around the corner. Best of all the Brewery is down the street. The cottage is perfectly appointed and feels like home the moment you arrive. It is charming with all the creature comforts you need and has three seperate patio's, to do nothing but lounge, build a fire and enjoy the scenery. We loved it and we will be back. It is absolutely lovely and the owner is a delight to work with. Could not have been any better.

I am not sure, 3 or 4 years now Tom's cottage has been ours for our summer family vacation. He is a most thoughtful host. We love everything about it, the location near both towns, yet the privacy of the wooded lot. The house itself has everything you need to have a wonderful lakeside vacation, so packing for this trip is easy. The kitchen is kitted out with I need to cook and bake--we spend 2 weeks here and while the restaurants are good in Douglas, I still like to cook. The house is clean, the beds comfortable and the girls love the loft space. The way the rooms are zoned adults can rise and have coffee early on the porch and the kids can sleep in. We also enjoy the outdoor shower, in fact I don't think we have ever used the indoor shower! Mornings on the sun deck are so beautiful and the teenagers love the fire pit at night. The screened-in porch allows for enjoyment of the evenings when the mosquitoes are out and early morning we see deer, and humming birds. We bring our dog as well which we love. Not only is this house wonderful, but we love the area for the beautiful beaches, horseback riding, canoeing, The Art Barn for rainy days, Douglas has a wonderful library and good restaurants in Douglas on Center and we also love M and M's on Blue Star. Just discovered the homemade cider doughnuts at Cranes this year. Holland is nearby for a shopping day--beautiful main street and Grand Haven is wonderful as well with an amazing pier and lighthouse. And yes, sunsets here are an event!
