Fully furnished glass solarium to relax in the evening or have your morning coffee. Huge dining room table which when you take off the custom wooden top, turns into an 8 foot championship pool table - Brunswick. There is a gourmet kitchen with bay window seating.
We have an outdoor table that seats four for dinner, lunch or cocktails. There are two additional chairs on the deck.

If you choose not to drive, Saugatuck/Douglas Interurban will pick you up across the street or all activities are minutes by bike.

We ask that you leave the house as you found it (including boat), with the exception of the bedding and towels. This is our second home, please treat it gently.
