This rental is a charming, two bedroom cottage perfect for a romantic couples' get-a-way or small family vacation. It has an ideal location just two houses from downtown shops and restaurants and is secluded on a dead end,. cul-de-sac with little traffic or pedestrian noise. The cottage has a very private stone patio in the back off the master bedroom which has an umbrella table and chairs and a chimenea for romantic fires, on those cool nights. The large side yard is nicely landscaped and is a great place for a picnic, yard games or child's play. The cottage is Pet Friendly and there's even a bike rack for securing your bike. Pickleball and Tennis courts are just a few blocks away.

Being just a stone's throw from downtown you'll find yourself walking everywhere. The Cottage is also only a block away from the river and Wickes Park where you can sit and watch the river boat traffic, people watch or fish. The chain ferry is at the end of the street and can take you across the river where you can walk or ride your bike to the beach.

Having two (2) on-site parking spots is especially welcoming when you drive somewhere and come back later to find them waiting on your return and being the only two open spots anywhere around. You'll enjoy your time in this cottage and the ease of access to downtown. You'll definitely want to return.

The cottage is rented weekly during the Summer Season and nightly during the Spring and Fall with a 2 or 3 night minimum stay.

Two small dogs (20 lbs each or less or one medium sized) are allowed with the owner's approval and payment of a Pet Fee. Please read the included Pet Policy requirements; especially the need to kennel/crate your pet(s) whenever left alone in the cottage.

Our linen package includes bed pads, pillows, pillow cases, sheets and blankets. Bath mats & dish towels are also provided. However, It is necessary for you to bring your own bath and beach towels. Obviously, the washer/dryer will make this requirement easier.

Another wonderful stay
This is the second year that we have stayed at the cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, again. Saugatuck is a charming town and is close to many other larger towns/cities that can be visited for the day. Thank you Jan and Gary - see you again next year.

Saugatuck Friends Getaway
We had a delightful time staying at your property. It was just the right size for the three of us and we were delighted at the close proximity to downtown. We would recommend only a few items for your consideration. The faucet in the bathroom is quite squeaky ~ perhaps a bit of lubricant would help. And the couch in the front room is somewhat uncomfortable to sit on...not a deal breaker, just feedback. It was nice to meet you and look forward to coming back to Michigan again! Cheers, Melissa

Wonderful stay to end the summer
Jan and Gary are great hosts and communicators. The house was the perfect size for my husband and I - plus our dog. We anticipated getting in a bit later due to work and holiday traffic, and they made sure to have the AC on and sent clear instructions so we could arrive with ease. The house is in the perfect location, tidy, with nice touches like a comfy bed with extra pillows, fully stocked kitchen, and lots of brochures on local attractions and events. We loved being able to walk to town, on the boardwalk, and within the neighborhood, then come back to the quiet comforts of this home. We hope to be back again soon - Saugatuck is a magical place, and Jan and Gary’s hospitality made it even more special. Thank you!

What makes this property unique

You'll love the location of the cottage just off the downtown business district and will appreciate its' quiet seclusion on the dead-end of Mary Street. You'll also love the intimacy and coziness that is very relaxing. Besides being a romantic get away it is also an ideal cottage for a young couple with small children. With a busy kiddie park just a block away and the nice side yard for lawn games and child's play it works perfectly for kids. The owners also accept small pets as long as the tenant agrees to their Pet Policy. There is a large stone patio off the Master bedroom that has an outdoor table and chairs and a chimenea for providing a cozy fire on a romantic evening of quiet conversation and a glass of wine. This cottage has all the privacy and conveniences as well as being in an ideal location with great access to Saugatuck's shops and restaurants.
