Beautiful and clean property with easy access to the park. Really enjoyed our stay!

Even though this nicely renovated home is on a somewhat busy street between Saugatuck and Douglas (in the heart of both if you love the harbor and beaches the best) it was quite serene. Our Jack Russell enjoyed the picture window in the front watching deer. We liked the front porch with big rocking chairs. Perfect
5.0
Lack of drawers and in bedroom storage space challenging for families. No bathtub also challenging for young families. Other than that a perfectly clean and functional home.

What they don't tell you about this rental or the rental agency, is they have thought of every little detail - from the furnishings to the best outfitted kitchen I've ever had in a rental to soap/shower gel/shampoo and even the fantastic instructional manual provided! I have never had a better rental experience. We even found implements to make waffles and to roast marshmallows over the firepit. We found instructions on how to correct the errant buttons we had pushed on the hot tub. The back porch is amazing - saw deer most every morning just out the back door. The location is close to everything. So glad we found this gem.

Loved our stay in Douglas for a ladies weekend with 4 of us. Location was fantastic. We had quick access to all the area had to offer. The neighborhood is beautiful. The house itself was perfect. Gorgeous and tastefully decorated. We made charcuterie trays and circled around the kitchen island. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook or just entertain your guests. The back screened in deck and large backyard with large, clean, hot tub was an oasis. There’s tons of room with large comfortable beds and a peaceful, well thought out layout. Absolutely would return. Worth every cent. Feel very lucky and grateful we found this vacation rental. Oh and we were left local, fresh coffee. I can’t say enough good things about this house. We laughed at the bird books too and will all be buying a copy of “effin birds”. Thank you to the owners and management company! Oh and also I highly recommend doing Saugatuck Sailing on a tall ship. That was a beautiful way to see more of the area and get on the water.

Our stay was fantastic! The house has a very nice layout. I LOVED that the labeled all the switches in the house so you knew which light you were turning on! Simple but thoughtful. Can’t recommend highly enough!

The house was beautiful and located near downtown. The area around the house was peaceful and we saw deer every morning and evening in the back of the house which my 2 yr old loved. The all season room was perfect to hangout in.

Such a great house and location. Loved the screened porch and hot tub. Perfect for my family of 5!

Beautiful home. Impeccably managed. Only recommendation would be to make transportation options more visible in the guidebook and home. Uber is not reliable in the vicinity, but the Interurban and local taxis were great. Having these resources more accessible would be really helpful. We grabbed an Uber into dinner on night 1 without an issue but learned quickly that was not the norm. Serious kudos to the local government for supporting the shuttle! What a great service!
5.0
Wonderfully updated home. Very clean and spacious. Lots of extras to keep you busy while not out exploring the area, like games, fire pit, hot tub and smart TV. Very quick communication when we had one small problem. I would definitely stay at another one of their properties.

We stayed from Thursday night to Sunday morning. Everything was fantastic! Games for the kids to play, comfortable furniture, clean, etc. it was close to so many things to do and see. Would definitely book this home again!

Please replace the coffee pot. Other than that everything was perfect!

This property was a great weekend getaway for my birthday. The house was very clean as well as the hot tub. If you’re looking for a place that you can go out to downtown Saugatuck or Douglas and then come back to enjoy some time with friends/family, this place is for you! Will definitely be going back!

My recebt stay at this upscale lake house was nothing short of delightful. The property boasts a beautiful screened-in porch with stunning views of the lake wooded back area with bird feeders, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The outdoor BBQ pit made for fun grilling, and the hot tub was a great way to unwind and relax after a day exploring the beach and natural area. The interior of the house was just as impressive, with nice finishes and comfortable furnishings that me feel at home. Overall, I highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for peaceful getaway in the winter or perfect location for summer lake fun.

Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Sandhill was everything we expected including the local deer, squirrels and turkeys. my only suggestion is that the back living area is dark and could use another floor lamp perhaps. Again, thank you.
