The Neighborhood:

Welcome to the charming town of Saugatuck!



The SaugaBuck House is located just a five minute drive into town. Enjoy strolling Butler Street and hitting all the restaurants and shops this quaint town has to offer. From Saugatuck's famous art galleries to locally roasted coffee, jam and jelly shops. There is no shortage of fabulous places to ignite the senses. Saugatuck allows open container in the "social district" off Butler and Water Streets. Enjoy a beverage from one of the local watering holes and feel free to bring it with you as you walk the riverfront.



Get outside and enjoy the nature that the area has to offer! With two kayaks and two paddleboards that come included with your stay, you walk down to your private beach and hop in the Kalamazoo River. After an afternoon on the water, head back to the house to fire up the grill. Enjoy dinner at the large dining table inside or have a more casual dining experience by the campfire(BYOWood). There are so many activities at home base but when you are ready to check out the neighborhood you can head to one of the many trails/beaches in the area. Take a drive over to Oval Beach where the sand literally squeaks under your feet or head to the Saugatuck Dunes State Park for a super scenic hike through the dunes where the trees eventually open up to a view of Lake Michigan. Local wineries with tasting rooms are plentiful in the area just in case you were wanting to expand your knowledge or just experience something new.



While staying at an Upscale Lakeshore vacation home, you will enjoy nearby access to Lake Michigan and all the unsalted coast has to offer. Whether it’s spring, summer, fall and or winter, there is something for everyone to enjoy! From hiking and mountain biking to kayaking and paddle boarding, there are plenty of outdoor activities to choose from. And if you are visiting during the winter months, be sure to try out a wintery hike at the beach, snowshoeing and or cross-country skiing along the lakeshore.



You'll find a more detailed list of tried and true local recommendations upon check in.

Comfortable and peaceful!

What a beautiful setting and so much room. Even with all of the space, it was still very cozy. Each room has a special feel and offers pockets of space to get away to relax if you want or space for a group to play games. Lots of space outside as well with beautiful views! Loved it all!

Saugatuck Beauty

The house was beautiful. Plenty big for our large family. The weather was beautiful, we lucked out. Shopping in downtown Saugatuck was an extra bonus. The only negative was the beach. It was over grown with weeds and dirty.

Family getaway

This beautiful home had plenty of space for our family of seven. It rained the first two days and was cool and windy the third day, so we were unable to use the outside amenities. We did have a good time with the pool table, foosball, chess, shuffleboard and the hot tub, as well as just hanging out and spending time together. This was our first visit to Saugatuck. It's a nice little town.

A Wonderful stay at SaugaBuck House

Everything was just perfect! We had such a wonderful stay and can't say enough about the property. It was everything we hoped for and more! So wide open, beautiful, well stocked, near town, lots of fun on the lake with fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. For our family of 13 we had plenty of room and the cottage was a major plus! The views on every level were gorgeous and our time outdoors on the decks was peaceful and/or festive. Lots of room to spread out! We loved cooking in and enjoying our evenings on the property. Thank you for everything!

Saugabuck house

First time for us to Saugatuck One of our sons and his family had been here before We had 16 of us stay at the house—8 adults and 8 kids ages 2-10 The house is beautiful with an adjacent upstairs cottage house over the garage. The house is on the Kalamazoo River and there is a nice fire pit on a small beach. There are 3 Kayaks and 2 paddle boards available to use. There are 3 brs on main floor, with one huge master bedroom with very large en suite bathroom. All of these bedrooms have. A king bed. The large lower level has a bedroom with a pull out sofa and a trundle bed. There are also roll away beds in the main house and the cottage house. The cottage house has 3 br and one bathroom There’s a king bed in one and a queen in the other There’s a foosball set, pool table in lower level of main house There’s a very nice patio overlooking the river Many beaches are nearby and there’s a lot of shopping and restaurants In the Saugatuck region . Holland is a short drive but fun place to visit There are 3 kitchens altogether We had a great visit and the house was very nice and well appointed and clean Highly recommend

This place has it all, it was our family of 13' s dream vacation! From the moment we walked in til the day of checkout all went smooth. The views and multilevel gathering areas, the game room, the giant master bath n bedroom w/attached hot tub porch gave us all such enjoyment. Ages 1 yo to 77 yo had a great week. The paper supplies and stuff to get ya started was a big plus as well. The Brown Family

Disliked: Check-in
The property was great. Lots of amenities. Kitchen was fully stocked to cook for large groups. Couches were a bit "lived in". Directions and address was a nightmare. Check-in instructions, listing and google location had 3 different addresses and it took 3 people over 45 min to find the house at night. A simple pin drop would have done wonders. Or street names instead of turn at the pink house. 3 different map apps give 3 different locations then add to this different address on the listing and the check-in instructions. These locations were on opposite sides of the lake. Same house number but different street names. None of which match the street signs.

We are a family of 12, made up of 8 adults and 4 children between the ages of 17 and 10. This house was conveniently located to town and had a lot of space to accommodate all of us in the evenings and the during the days. It had the right mix of group space and pockets for individual escape.

beautiful

The house is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a group to stay. The chairs on the deck could use some cleaning off and the hot tub was half open and on when we arrived, we did not use, didn't know if that was from previous guests or cleaning. The house provides anything you could ever need and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great time
