Saugatuck and Douglas are harbor villages that celebrate diversity--small-town America at its best! Here visitors turn back the pages of time to enjoy a simpler life where no one hurries and no one hurries you, a place where everyone is special and everyone is welcome. While visiting either downtown area, you can walk - in a safe and friendly environment - to almost everything. In Saugatuck, you can stroll along the boardwalk admiring the boats or explore the dockside shops. Picnic by the gazebo in Wicks Park overlooking the harbor. Ride a Victorian hand-cranked ferry. Rent a canoe, charter a sailboat or tour our waterways onboard an old-fashioned sternwheeler, dinner cruiser or W.W.II amphibious 'duck' vehicle. For over a century, artists have been drawn to the towering dunes, pristine beaches and other natural splendors of this jewel-like setting on Lake Michigan.

Sadly, we are in the process of packing things up. Thank you for offering your cottage to us. We have enjoyed our time here. ' (May 2008) I just wanted to let you know we had a great stay at your cottage. The cottage we perfect, we loved all the artwork. The weather couldn't have been better for us either. We're already talking about coming again next summer for a whole week. This was our first trip to Saugatuck and hopefully won't be our last. Your cottage is definitely a great find in Saugatuck!

Loved Happy Hill

BarbieL Chicago
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Our group stayed over the labor day weekend. We loved our visit. The owners were fantastic. We adored the "look" of the place...extremely charming! The owners have thought of everything - chairs, umbrella for the beach, grill, etc. We really want to come back!!!!

SIMPLY PERFECT!

CPJonesy Rochester Hills, MI
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This was our first time renting a property; it was to celebrate my husbands 40th, and boy did we pick a wonderful place to stay. The owner's were great, the place.......AMAZING. It was charming, beautifully decorated, and our family of 4 had plenty of space. We just LOVED it. It's a short walk to downtown, although we drove because of the weather. We also went to the Dunes, which is also a close drive. We will make plans to stay again, and we have recommended it to friends. Thank you James and Rene.

Happy Hill is aptly named!

dpharv Chicago, Illinois USA
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I recently rented Happy Hill for a long weekend and had a fantastic experience! The cottage itself is wonderful- super clean, great art, comfortable bed and all the things that were needed were made available. One night we barbequed on the back deck and ate dinner overlooking the wooded lot behind the cottage. I took several nice long bike rides and it was within walking distance of the downtown area of Saugatuck. All in all, it was a great time and I would highly recommend Happy Hill for the perfect place to get away and enjoy being in Michigan!

Beautiful & Relaxing

Amanda25H Allen Park, Mi
Review Submitted: November 13, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
My husband and I were lucky enough to stay here in April 2008 for our honeymoon! It was more than we could have asked for. It was warm & welcoming as well as clean and decorated beautifully.We had a very romantic & peaceful time away. It was nice to just relax out on the back deck and enjoy the outdoors. We did alot of walking on the beach, shopping, and spa treatments. We would recommend eating at The Blue Moon Bar & Grille. Very lovely place for couples. Also the home was very close to everything. The towns people were wonderful, they make you feel like they have known you forever, and the renter was very friendly and available if needed.We had an AMAZING time! We can not wait to go back!!!

Lovely, artsy home close to everything

NN1975 Chicago, IL
Review Submitted: August 12, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
My family and I had a really good time staying at this property. The home is modern and updated, but it has a cottage feel. There is wonderful pottery, glass, and pictures throughout the home. This is not a cookie-cutter property. The property was close to Douglas and Saugatuck, as well as the lake.
