Three Generations Weekend!
We stayed at this property over Memorial Day weekend. The property was very clean and well maintained and the owner has thought of everything even the little things that you may have forgotten to pack. She was very communicative and gave us a lot of ideas of what to do and where to eat. I enjoyed the properties location it was close enough to everything to either walk or a very short drive but it was nice to go away from all the hustle and bustle and have some quiet time. I would return again and I would highly recommend. Thank you for being a fantastic host.

From home to Saugatuck.
The townhouse was as pictured on the listing. The unit was very clean. Lynn was easy to text message when we had a couple of questions before the day of check in. This townhouse was close to town and was the perfect size for two couples. 5 stars!

Beautiful home and excellent location
This town home is even lovelier in person than the pictures depict. It is tastefully decorated with high quality linens and the best stocked kitchen I’ve seen in a rental. You’ll have everything you need! There is a nice deck off of the living room for sipping morning coffee and a great fire pit with plenty of wood for an evening fire and glass of wine. The owner, Lynn, is an excellent communicator and went out of her way to provide a plethora of information on activities and restaurants in Saugatuck and the surrounding area. This town home is literally two minutes from downtown Saugatuck. The shops are lovely with high quality and unique items. The owners are very friendly and helpful with recommendations as well. We definitely did our part in boosting their economy! I HIGHLY recommend this property. It’s a 10/10 all around. You won’t be disappointed!

Super clean and beautifully appointed
The property was beautiful and so convenient to Saugatuck, Fennville & Douglas. We had bikes with us so it was nice to have the garage as well. We even used the fire pit one night. Lynn was super helpful in making dining recommendations and was very responsive and accommodating. Would stay again!
