About this house rental

Deer Dune, the Dune house is located at the end of the road in a secluded Saugatuck MI enclave of a handful of homes. Nestled in oaks, pines and decades old rhodendrums that blanket the landscaping. The home is an architectural gem and is regularly frequented by Deer, Turkey and the Owl. Enjoy the relaxation of rural refinement and the sounds of Lake Michigan on the dunes with all the amenities of Douglas, Saugatuck and Oval & Douglas Beach just minutes away.
The Dune House, brings the outside in with expansive windows and doors that reach from floor to ceiling and doors that sweep open to bring in uninterrupted nature and landscaped panoramas. Deer Dune’s décor is rich in eclecticism with contemporary furnishings, antiques and appointments and original art that show case stunning contemporary lines. We like to think it’s fun, cozy, comfortable and smart with a deference to the traditions of lake Michigan that will create a nostalgia, memories and stories to last a lifetime.

Picked this beautiful home for our family of 8 plus a dog to be together while in Saugatuck for our sons wedding. The home was perfect in that it had common areas for meals and games and conversation and then 3 separate locations with privacy to be able to retire and sleep with comfy beds and en-suite bathrooms. The home is loaded w/amazing pieces of art, sculptures, books and floor to ceiling windows to look out at nature and trees and dunes. We were visited every night with a number of deer and our early morning walks to the beach and coffee were just as enjoyable. This rental is awesome and all you need is to pack a bag and renew and refresh yourselves. Our family hopes to return again. Thank you Michelle .

Many different spaces to enjoy during our week stay. Comfortable main gathering space in the main house with comfortable seating and up to date, very well stocked kitchen. Two quiet screened porch areas to relax, along with an outdoor eating space. The two side houses afforded more privacy for some of the guests. Thoughtful extras like ample beach towels and a new, clean PackNPlay already set up on arrival. House set at the end of a quiet wooded street bordering a wooded dune in back with deer meandering around the area. It was a great place for a family reunion.

We’ve been coming to Saugatuck for years so we are very familiar with the area. This was the perfect summer rental for my wife and me along with our 5 adult children plus significant others. It is hard to find a place for 10 adults with nice bedrooms and full baths for everyone. The interior decor was beautiful. The kitchen was fully furnished just like at home. We had some amazing meals and great memories. We really loved the table for ten on the screened in porch. It easily fit our group plus a few visitors one night. It was a nice surprise to see how nicely the house was stocked with wine and cocktail glasses, board games, beach towels, robes, pool table, card table, fire pit, and a beautiful Weber grill. The three buildings on the property gave people privacy and the ability to come together. Any time I had a question for the owner they were quick to respond.

Everything about my stay with my family at this property exceeded my expectations. Communication with the property manager was great and the amenities at our disposal were fantastic. We are planning a return trip in the summer to full take advantage of the outdoors as our stay was during winter months.

We escaped as a family to relax and recharge from a crazy year. The property gave us the opportunity to rest and recharge in our own spaces and gather together to share meals and enjoy a crackling fire. The spa like amenities were a nice touch to the home (hot tub, infared sauna, robes). Our teenagers enjoyed game room, library, and movie nights while us adults relaxed with a fire and wine. We walked to Douglas Beach and ran to Mt. Baldhead to climb the stairs. We drove to Oval Beach and went sledding and hiked Saugatuck Dunes State Park. We explored local art galleries and visited wineries. There truly is something for everyone at this property!

Wish we could have spent more time in this spectacular location in Saugatuck MI. Every room was polished and comfortable with gorgeous finishes tastefully done with stunning artwork throughout. The walk ways between private spaces made it easy to unload and move from one space to another. Felt like home with soft lighting throughout giving it a a cozy aesthetic. I would highly recommend Sanctuary at Deer Dune. Fitting name as well.

This property was everything we hoped for and more. Michelle was very responsive and a kind host. There were no surprises and no moments of "Ahh, I wish _____." Truly a great spot and plenty of space for everyone. We had 5 adults and 4 kids - even when it was naptime, the kids could keep up their energy while the little one slept in a different house. Great spot for families!

I wanted a relaxing getaway with friends for my 40th and this home fit the bill. The artwork was incredible and the house was so comfortable and accommodated all of us easily. We spent a lot of time in the evenings playing games and talking and the house was perfect. 10/10!

We were two families with teens and we all loved this place - it was perfect for us. I cant say enough how great the property is! I would absolutely stay here again! Very modern and new. Perfectly clean and surprisingly for the beautiful location on the end of a quiet street lined with tall trees and woods, there were no bugs at all! Highlights were clean hot tub, excellent kitchen with everything needed to cook our big breakfasts, the game room for the kids, the beautiful views from the two upper level bedrooms - sooo pretty! Most of all the property manager was friendly, engaging and quite helpful with any requests we had! Hope to return!

The three separate comfortable houses worked very well for our group giving everyone some space, but with the central kitchen and living room providing a common area. We loved the variety of art work both inside the houses and outside. It is in a great location close to the beaches and both Douglas and Saugatuck. We would highly recommend the house for a large family gathering.

We loved the property and the house . For four days we felt we were living in our own private art museum complete with every luxury household amenity you would need. Thoughtful touches included dry firewood and starters for the fire pit, Luscious soaps and lotion, beach towels games etc. and lotions. We loved it .

Great house. Well stocked kitchen, generous sized bedrooms, fantastic screened porch, jacuzzi, pool table, etc. On quiet street with wooded backyard and short walk to public beach. Only complaint is lack of blinds on backside of house made it hard for some in our party to sleep in. Highly recommend.

We had been looking for a place to rent that had separate living spaces for each family. We love our family time but also appreciate our own personal space. This property was perfect for us. Our three different families had three completely separate buildings to stay in which made us feel close but not too close. It was nice being able to light a fire in the fireplace, watch the deer in the back yard every morning, relax in the hot tub and shoot some pool in the game room. Overall the place wasn't cheap, but well worth the experience. Would definitely stay there again!

This property is great for extended family gatherings with three units allowing privacy between extended family. Screened in porch connecting the units was a great place to be with family and allow our small dogs to be outside. Great location allowed us to get to beach, to shopping and downtown, as well as church in a short drive. As a bonus, it is on a quiet private drive on a dead end with plenty of wildlife. Definitely recommended.
