Cute and Quaint!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 9, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We just returned from our stay in Douglas at the Mulberry Cottage. It was cute, quaint and very clean! The location of this little bungalow was just perfect . . . with a short walk past a beautiful church to a corner and you are literally downtown Douglas! My husband and I try to rent a vacation home in a different location every year and I have to say that this little cottage was by far the most quiet and secluded place we've stayed in so far. We went into Saugatuck daily, although mostly by car. Our first day there we decided to walk to Saugatuck from the cottage and it was much too far in the hot weather. Maybe if the temps were cooler it wouldn't have been so bad but it's still quite a walk. There's a great little grocery store around the corner on the Blue Star Highway. I highly recommend loading up on groceries there and then spending your days grilling out and relaxing in the backyard of the Mulberry Cottage. James and Rene do everything necessary to make sure everything is perfect before you arrive. They brought extra towels and stopped in periodically to water the flowers. You can tell they really take pride in maintaining this cute little property perfectly and you will not be disappointed. :)

A Great Time At Mulberry Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: August 22, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
I had the pleasure of staying in Mulberry Cottage recently and loved it! The location was perfect, I could walk into downtown Douglas to eat at Everyday People Cafe or get in some serious shopping at the great stores that line up the main strip. There are plenty of other dining options as well or just sit in the cute coffee house and grab a cup of coffee. Another nice adventure was taking one of the bikes at the cottage for a ride over to downtown Saugatuck.

The cottage itself is adorable, very clean and everything is just right- it has one of the best showers I've ever had! I would (and already have) recommend this place to friends and family. All in all, Mulberry Cottage gets a big thumbs up from me!

Enjoyed Mulberry Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: August 10, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
We fell in love with the cottage the moment we walked in the door. There were 3 of us, including our 14 year old son and he thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

It was clean, quiet, and close to everything. The area is very safe. There were plenty of towels, sheets, and blankets. The beds were comfortable. And while it's small it lives large. The gas grill in the backyard is a nice touch. It took us a couple of days to figure out how to get the track lights brighter in the kitchen - LOL. But once we did all was good.

The addition of an exhaust fan in the bathroom would be make the cottage perfect.

We would highly recommend Mulberry Cottage to small families. We certainly plan to return.

What a perfect place

5 of 5
Submitted: July 26, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
We just returned from a week's stay at this cottage and we could not be more pleased. From the moment we opened the door, we were charmed by this little cottage. The photos don't do justice to this beautifully decorated gem of a place--I'd love to have Rene come to my own house to decorate! This little house is excellently maintained and scrupulously clean. The location is perfect--a few minute's bike ride from the bustle of Saugatuck and we were home to our peaceful home away from home. And a stone's throw from downtown Douglas or down to the bayou for exploring with our little boy. Thank you! It was perfect! We will certainly be back!
