About Teri Dougherty

Owners are brother and sister and their spouses. We live in Omaha, Nebraska where we were raised. We love the area and wanted to buy a place that was in superb condition to share with others and to use periodically by our families.

Teri Dougherty purchased this house in 2012
Why Teri Dougherty chose Saugatuck / Douglas

We have vacationed in the area several times over the last few years visiting our brother. We fell in love with the area and the people. The beauty of the area, the peacefulness and the many things to do made us want to have a place we could call our own and share with others. This home's location and its unbelievably perfect condition made it an easy choice. It is surrounded by lush landscaping and forest. It is very private, very quiet and very serene. Relaxing on the wrap around porch or on one of the decks and watching the deer run by or listening to the birds chirp or the waters roll in off Lake Michigan make it the perfect retreat. The Sauguatuck/Douglas area are just moments away. We love the wonderful dining, entertainment, shopping and beaches. This is truly our little slice of Heaven!

What makes this house unique

From the moment we walked onto the property, we knew this was the home for us. The beautiful wrap around porch made us not want to leave. The quality and condition of the interior with its beautiful cherry wood floors, cabinetry, lighting and 360 degree view of the woods was exactly what we were looking for. The master suite with its own bath and the two large bedrooms upstairs with their own bath as well as the finished lower level is the perfect set up for a family or for several couples wanting to get away. The kitchen is a dream to work in and you never seem seperated from the other guests. The cozy den is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or sneak in an afternoon nap. The fireplace in the living room just tops off the many features. Relaxing in the hot tub at the end of a fun day and watching the trees sway lazily with the breeze is so relaxing. This home is a 10 in our books!

This past weekend we celebrated our mother's 60th birthday by bringing the entire family together for a weekend stay at this beautiful home. We had a family of ten (8 adults & 2 children) who all enjoyed our stay for a variety of reasons.
Before we even arrived, I was impressed by the correspondence & attention to detail provided by the owners. Teri was great to work with and made us feel welcome to enjoy as if it were our own home. All we had to do was our clothes, food & beverage. The owners ensured everything else we needed was included - they didn't miss a detail!
The home was very spacious and beautifully decorated. It felt like "home" to us, allowing all to settle in & unwind. The beds were all very comfortable and the home was very clean. The hot tub was a hit, as was the wrap around front porch with very comfortable patio seating.
To impress this opinionated & picky family can be a difficult task, but this property exceeded all of our expectations!

My Fiance and myself needed to get out of the city for the weekend to relax. Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would find a place like this! What a beautiful home and such curtious hosts! They really make you feel like the house is yours. We spent a good amount of time relaxing in the hot tub with a nice cool breeze blowing our stress into the trees. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be. We plan to do the same exact trip next year!!!

What an absolutely stunning home and perfect venue for a much needed sister's retreat. Every possible wish was fulfilled - from the gorgeous setting to the perfectly appointed home. We couldn't think of one thing missing...and had such a great time that we will make this an annual Fall retreat!! Teri was wonderful to work with...her attention to detail showed in every aspect of the home. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend this to anyone needing a relaxing time away!
