Comfortable, clean and quiet getaway. From checkin to checkout each detail was thoughtfully planned and communicated. The cottage was clean with comfortable beds, a well appointed kitchen, relaxing living room, and a beautiful view of the lake. This was the perfect place to relax and unwind and we enjoyed coffee on the deck as well as sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the dock and kayaking in the lake. Fun antique malls nearby, as well as U pick farms, wineries, a donut and pie bakery and the quaint town of Fennville. Saugatuck, Holland and Lake Michigan were an easy 15-18 minute drive from the cottage which gave us a variety of things to do and places to eat out. Such a lovely stay!

Relaxing

We have stayed at Brower Cottage seven times. It's our dream get away. We also bring our dog, who loves swimming in the lake. Good food is near by and of course, Crane's pies. The owner is very easy to work with and very dependable. We will be back!

Fall Getaway

My wife and I stayed at Brower Cottage for a week. The cottage is spotless and very updated. The wall of windows looking out on the lake is beautiful. Loved that were were able to bring our dog. Great location - easy to explore nearby Saugatuck/Douglas and Macatawa/Holland. Communication with hosts was great. Would highly recommend!

Cozy lake cottage w great views!

Enjoyed our stay in Oct. Was a little disappointed that the dock had already been taken up bc we planned to kayak and fish. It would have been nice to know before booking. The cottage is adorable and has everything you need. Beautiful views of lake. Steep steps to lake were a problem for me but I made it!! Close to Crane Orchards, nice quiet area. Ate dinner at a great restaurant there in Fennville, Salt of the Earth. Took a private Coastal tour of the local wineries which was great. House was very comfortable and relaxing. Laundry is in basemen and coin operated. Kitchen stocked w everything and a nice Weber grill on deck. Would definitely recommend.

Michigan Lake Life!

First time stay in the Brower Cottage and what a relaxing week it was. Family of 6 with 4 boys ages 11-15 and two poodles. Accommodations were fabulous and well appointed. We enjoyed running around Hutchins Lake, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and fishing from the dock. Played lots of euchre, watched the Olympics and movies, and grilled out. Purchased groceries in Fennville and Douglas. Enjoyed meals in Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, and Holland. Rented a boat in Saugatuck. Hiked up Mt Baldhead and down to Oval beach, took our poodles to Saugatuck Dunes State Park, ran an interval workout at Fennville High School, picked peaches at Cranes, and shopped in Saugtuck and Holland. We felt closer as a family and restored after the relaxing week.

Very special place!

Brower cottage did not disappoint! The views from the living room are picture perfect, especially when sitting in the comfy chair and ottoman. All the furnishings were attractive and comfortable, including the beds. We enjoyed watching our favorite shows on TV and listening to my Pandora stations. The kitchen had all the cookware, utensils and dishes I needed to fix meals. The cottage was also well stocked with paper goods and cleaning supplies. I didn't have to buy anything! My grandsons came for a visit for a few days. They loved the bunk beds, playing on the dock and swimming. We did do some exploring in the area. . . the Outdoor Discovery Center, shopping in Holland and Saugatuck and visiting Windmill Island Gardens. The flowers everywhere were beautiful. Of course, being close to Crane's Restaurant and Pie Pantry, and their U-pick orchards was a real bonus. They have 30,000 trees! Anytime I had a question or concern the owner was quick to answer my messages and offer his help. I will definitely stay at Brower cottage again.

This was one of the best places we’ve stayed using Vrbo. We enjoyed the serene morning and evening views/kayaking on Hutchins Lake. Short drive to Lake Michigan beaches, Saugatuck and Douglas. You can see the peach orchard from the patio. The house was fully stocked with everything you need; kitchen, board games, kids books, movies etc. All around great place to stay. S’mores around the fire pit were a bonus each night.

Very quiet and clean. The cottage is in a secluded area with neighbors yet close enough to several towns making it easy to grab a meal, shop, hang out or if you needed something. Indoor amenities were modern and there were several outdoor spots to relax or enjoy nature, including the beautiful lake.

This was our second time staying at Brower Cottage. We were happy to have perfect weather and be able to use the canoe and kayaks…perfect for our kids to learn and practice some independence on the water in a safe space. It was great!

We love Brower Cottage

Brower Cottage is a great place to stay in the area. Very peaceful, lakefront with a pier. We caught some big fish, including a pike, right off the pier. The home is very well cared for and clean. The hosts are the best. Have come here 4 times now and will keep coming back. Just perfect for a get away, very close to many things but still removed from the Saugatuck crowds.

Ultimate relaxing, comfortable, spotless cottage!

From the breathtaking view of the Lake through the large living room windows to the many amenities available, we could not have asked for a more perfect vacation cottage. Dog friendly, waterfront, plenty of room for the whole family, full kitchen, large windows and natural light, firepit, grill, close proximity to downtown Saugatuck. THANK YOU!
