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.

'We also wanted to thank you for letting us rent from you. We had a great time, and the Place was amazing. We'd like to know if it would be possible to rent again later in the summer?' (May 2008)

'My husband and I are enjoying your beautiful cottage. Our time flew by fast! 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!

Best Place to stay in Saugatuck

Review Submitted: January 2, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
Thank you for opening this lovely cabin to us. We spent weeks trying to find a place in Saugatuck, and were seriously disappointed at the prices--I could have rented a place in Maui for what people are charging in the middle of a Michigan winter! Ridiculous. The prices here are so reasonable, and the cottage is beautiful, exceptionally clean and quiet. James was very easy to work with. It may be a little off the beaten path, but Saugatuck is so small that we were able, even at the end of December, to walk downtown with 2 small children-no problem. We clearly didn't get beach time, but I will definitely look for availability here first the next time we come to Saugatuck, no matter what the season.

Charming, Reasonable Cottage, very close to town.

Review Submitted: September 27, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We had a great experience at Happy Hill. I agree, the pictures really don't do the inside justice. It was modern with a few eclectic & antique pieces to add interest. We were very comfortable and appreciated being able to bring our dog. The description was very accurate and it was extremely clean! We met James who we could contact if needed, but wasn't intrusive. We grilled out the first night and found most everything we needed. The other two nights we went to the Belvidere and Everday People in Douglas. The Belvidere is upscale but not out of reach. It was worth EVERY penny! Everyday People is more casual, but still excellent food! We toured the steam ship which was very interesting! I did some heavy duty shopping...lol! There were a lot of sales after the season & started my shopping for Christmas! Our dog loved the dog park which wasn't very far. She ran free in the woods @ Tails & Trails, and made some new friends! It was the price that sealed the deal! We spent a relaxing couple of days. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! Next time!

Elegant, new home for quiet time

Review Submitted: September 7, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
I recommend this place to folks looking for quiet time and space to enjoy the sunlight in a small town. Plenty surrounds to do, and I highly recommend a car or bike trip to the Saugatuck Nature Habitat Area's dune trails or a kayak in the river. My partner and I enjoyed the DVD selections and breakfast on the beautiful mid-century furnishings.

Very homey

Review Submitted: January 18, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2009
Thank you for the cozy accomodations for our fall getaway. The web site does not do justice for this nice home, to our pleasant surprise. We totally agree that Everday People Cafe isa must. Your choice of books, art and furniture makes us feel right at home.

James and Rene. Thank you so much for letting us stay at this wonderful place. We couldn't imagine anywhere else we would have rather stayed. We look forward to quitting our jobs and moving up permanently! Well, or at least coming back very soon.
