Great location and incredible views of Lake Michigan. Nice layout and very quiet. We spent most of our time between the beach and the house.

A perfect couple of days!

Great location and amazing views!! We enjoyed a couple of days relaxing on the deck and playing on the beach. The kids loved using the paddle board, kayak and other toys. The accommodation was excellent - plenty of space and great views of the lake. Very close to Douglas & Saugatuck for restaurants and shops, Holland just a short drive where we picked blueberries and ate blueberry donuts.

Lake Views

We've been staying in Douglas every summer for years and always hoped for a house on the lake. This one did not disappoint! We so enjoyed the many sunsets and different spots to sit and watch the water indoors and out. The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed cooking and eating in too. There's just nothing like being right on the water!

Paradise on the Dunes

This gorgeous well maintained cottage was the perfect getaway for our family. We loved how we could hear the waves and walk everywhere. It was secluded enough but close enough to everything we love about Douglas and Saugatuck.

The history, the view

From the amazing photo journals you know this is a well loved home. While it has all been updated beautifully it still retains its original personality if you look close. You can imagine the crab boils and families who have spent summers here. We came in the winter and it was a cozy stay.

If you’re looking for a relaxing trip. A beautiful house. On one of the Country’s finest lakes with a beautiful shoreline. This is your place. The house has everything you’ll need to feel like home. Spend stressless days strolling the shop’s & restaurants in Saugatuck, then enjoy the spectacular sunsets on the beach at night! Or even just hang out at the beach all day. Either way.. This is your place! We had the best trip!

Weekend Getaway

We spent a wonderful weekend at this property. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved watching sunsets over the lake. Walks on the beach and visits to the surrounding towns. The property was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Jennifer was very easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Heaven on earth

let me know if you want anything added or removed...here's what i wrote: This cottage allowed for such an intimate beautiful trip for our family and friends. The location with private beach and the beach house (kitchen sink etc) gave us our own private setting for snacks, sunsets and beautiful sunny days on the beach where our son could play in the sand. Morning beach walks were incredibly peaceful as we picked some favorite rocks and followed deer footprints in the sand. When driving/walking the neighborhood loop, we saw so many deer up close and personal. The loop allowed for the perfect stroller walk and the Woosah Outdoor coffee location being on the route is a great place to stop and get some caffeine and souvenirs. The cottage had a well equipped kitchen that allowed us to cook our meals when we wanted to stay in and the town of Saugatuck was so close we drove in often for lunch and shopping. There was also a small grocery store conveniently just down the road nearby. Such a friendly experience! The showers had instant hot water and the beds were very comfortable. Definitely hope to come stay again in this piece of heaven, highly recommend this cottage home if you need a quiet getaway to connect with nature, or gather with family and friends to make some of the best memories life can offer!
