Beautiful home right across from the chain ferry, within walking distance from Oval Beach and "the steps" overlooking Saugatuck . It has a great screened front porch, plenty of places to sleep with amazing views, and free wifi. My group will definitely book again.

We had a great stay at Anna's cottage. The place was larger than we expected. The highlight was definitely evenings and meals spent on the porch! We enjoyed boat watching on the river and the fans and screens made the porch very pleasant even during the heatwave. Important note: despite the listing info, the house itself is not air conditioned. It got very warm in the house, so we did not spend much time indoors. The house is equipped with lots and lots of windows, ceiling fans, and other fans. However, we would highly recommend bringing extra fans. Another heads up, the walk to oval beach is closer to 15 mins including a pretty steep uphill and on a well-used road (no sidewalks). Totally doable, but definitely plan on driving if you want to bring a lot of stuff or have any mobility problems. Overall would highly recommend!

Anna‘s cottage was perfect for this mom and two adult daughters who loved the energy of this family cottage and appreciated its untouched beauty. Its location was perfect as one could walk to the beach. Weekend bar noise is to be expected. The second bathroom is in the basement which we did not use, so a full house might be a bit crowded. You can hear each other through the open ceilings in the second floor, but that was part of its charm for us! Early June temperatures were perfect although I can see it might get hot in the summer without AC. We loved the front porch and the comfy furniture and the kitchen had everything we needed. We’ll be back! Thank you to the owners for sharing their family heritage.

We just loved our time at Anna’s Cottage. It was spacious, warm and welcoming. The windows (and views!) are gorgeous and we loved the photo of the same porch we sat on from the early 1900s. Located across the street from the Chain Ferry and within walking distance to Mt. Baldhead and Oval Beach, the location is perfect. Highly recommend!

Located right across the river from downtown Saugatuck. You'll need to drive around to get there though :) It's a great location to sit on the screened porch and listen to the music across the water. Very spacious place. Lots of sleeping but one bathroom; bigger groups will need to coordinate accordingly. Lovely time of year to go, No AC but short walls allow air to move freely in the upper bedroom space. Kitchen is large and has pretty much you'll need. Everything was as expected. We had a great time!

We had a family wedding and it was perfect for having a few of my family members for dinner. It’s comfortable and cozy, yet plenty of room to never feel crowded. Well stocked towels and kitchen utensils. We enjoyed the screened porch. Beach is a short distance away. Definitely going to rent again.

Great location making it easy to get around. We were worried about not having AC, but house quickly cooled off after opening windows and turning on fans. Lots of character to home and layout was perfect for extended family vacation.

This home was in the perfect setting on the quiet side of Saugatuck. Not having to worry about parking was nice and to travel over to all of the shopping on the chain ferry was so fun! The house is right next to a 1 mile trail that takes your right to Oval beach. The character of this house is endless and has everything you need. A room downstairs for our parents to sleep in and plenty of space upstairs for us and an entire room dedicated to our clothes! Haha Only reason I gave a 4 is because the house doesn't have air conditioning. It got pretty hot throughout the day.

This is the second time my family has stayed here. We love the old charm and great river viewing front porch. We would come again this summer if there were dates open.

We always enjoy Saugatuck in the Fall and this trip was exceptional. Our home away from home choice truly added to the experience. Because of being elderly, we did find all the stairs daunting. And the toilet in the main bathroom definitely needs to be higher. However I would still give this cottage a 5 star review. It was charming and we absolutely loved the screened porch overlooking the river.

We loved the screen porch the most, playing games in the evening and enjoying coffee in the morning watching the boats go by. The cottage is a unique blend of a historical family cottage and an upgraded newer home. Specifically, the juxtaposition of the modern kitchen's convenience and the claw foot tub and exposed rafters beaconing back to times gone bye. There is a palpable sense of historical connection with the area that feels like a privilege to be permitted to share in. Thank you for sharing this lovely place through Vacas! We plan to come for another stay in the future, such a great place!

Perfectly located with an amazing porch and water view. The whole place was charming and unique. A couple of jenky things like the kitchen faucet kept it from being 5 stars, but we’d definitely go back!

This spacious yet cozy cottage is situated perfectly across the dock of the Kalamazoo River, just a foot-ferry away from historic downtown Saugatuck, and right around the corner from Oval Beach. It's also feet away from 1 Adventure Company, where you can rent pontoons and other boats to go out exploring. My family and I adored the screened in porch most, as we enjoyed the cool breeze and river views. The upstairs bedrooms are also particularly charming, but a little warm in the summer (there's no air conditioning). It's a beautiful home in which to explore Saugatuck and the surrounding areas!

Beautiful original antique vacation cottage, well preserved and maintained. Everything was as advertised, clean and prepped. The location was amazing, immediately across the river from downtown Saugatuck, right at the chain ferry dock. Plus the forest trail to Oval Beach starts right outside the door. We couldn't have been happier with the property.

The property sits on the Kalamazoo River with an elevated screen porch perfect for watching the boat traffic. The cottage is a short ride to Oval Beach. It is a very traditional three season cottage that is clean and beautifully decorated. Short drive to Saugatuck or quick Chain Ferry ride (if it is open).
