  • Welcome to Illustrator Cottage

    Illustrator Cottage is located in the Goshorn Lake Resort. This artistically decorated home is here to provide the best experience this summer, leaving you with many laughs and memories. It is located just two miles outside of downtown Saugatuck, not even a 5 minute, and a short walk to the Dune Rides. Has shared access with Goshorn Lake and their sandy beach, a volleyball court, shuffleboard, horseshoes, jungle gyms, sandboxes, and a heated pool. Illustrator Cottage is the perfect getaway making you want to stay longer.

    INSIDE THE HOME
    Walk into a recently updated cottage, with a fully equipped kitchen (equipped with the basics), screened in porch, and decently sized bed and bath. This cottage has one bedroom (queen size) and one full bath. The full bath has handicap accessible rails for help in and out of the shower. There is also a ramp leading up to the entrance of this cottage. The living room does have a pull out sofa that turns into a double size bed. Come in after a long day Kayaking on Goshorn lake to relax and grill out. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee on the screened in porch and listen to the birds.

    This resort is in such an amazing location and still has so much to offer for everyone in your group. Leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. With all that the resort has to offer you might not want to leave, but in the chance you do downtown Saugatuck is a 4 minute drive away. Want to go out and explore? Holland is a 15 minute drive, Oval Beach is less than 10 minutes, and South Haven is 20 minutes away.

Perfect Location

This resort was very well maintained and offered a pool and private access to Goshorn Lake. The stay in Cottage 10 was great. It was very cozy and comfortable, and it was in a great location close to downtown.

The whole experience was great from beginning to end. Although i communicated with the staff via text and email - there still were no issues. They were very helpful, professional, and pleasant. All the amenities were great! The cottage was fully stocked and immaculate. We are thinking about making this an annual trip gong forward. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice get away.

So happy to be back at Goshorn Lake

I love this resort. I used to bring my children each summer when they were small. It's a lovely resort and everyone is very friendly. The Illustrator cabin was perfect for just the 2 of us. Cute and cozy. We'll definitely be back!

Great property in an amazing location

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved having the pool and the lake. The pool was warm which I appreciate so much. We took advantage of the kayaks and sand toys at the lake. The cottage had everything one could need. Loved sitting in the screened in porch at night playing games. One thing I really appreciate were all the hooks. Those are so important for beach trips. Beds were decent. The couch could use a cleaning but that and I wish check out was 10:30 or 11 are my only complaints. But those are minor. Would definitely book this place again.

Illustrator Cottage

The property was okay, the online pictures make it appear to be larger than it is. The location met our needs. Problems - The TV only worked about 1% of the time. The Wi-Fi is not strong enough so the TV just was buffering most of the time. The instructions on how to work the heating system were not good. We had to have someone come to the property to get it running. The batteries in the remotes to work the heating system were almost dead. Also there was a infestation of bugs in the kitchen on the counter top and the stove.The web site doesn't explain that the "heated" pool would not be available that time of the year.It's understandable that it would not, but that should be be stated on the property description. Thank you.

Illustrator Cottage was a quaint retreat. The vibe was retro, comfortable and perfectly coordinated. The resort had so much to offer in addition to our cottage. Boats, kayaks, swimming, game room, fishing dock, beach, pool and more! It was so close to everything. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Great getaway

More amenities in the house than I expected The fishing, kayaking, swimming, basketball and other activities there were just what we needed to get off of electronics and disconnect. My kids didn't even ask to turn on the TV I'd would bring extra blankets next time, otherwise, great time and wish we had a longer stay. Looking forward to doing it again
