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.

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

Great space and lighting and view for a long weekend gaming session with my buddies!
5.0 / 5.0
Clean property. Liked open concept layout, although not ideal for someone with mobility issues since stairs are required on all levels. Listing boasts Lake Michigan views but mature trees and homes block most of the lake view. Since the weather was cool and rainy it would have been nice if we could have used the fireplace. Some rugs slip when walking on them, especially in the kitchen. Would have been nice to have a cookie sheet available. A sock was found in one of the beds. Livingroom furniture was a little uncomfortable but overall we enjoyed our stay!
5.0 / 5.0
Property was exactly as described online and photos were accurate. Overall great stay and enjoyed easy access to beach as well as nearby towns. We utilized the concierge service to have a “chef experience” to celebrate a birthday. Excellent experience. Food was great with perfect presentation. Chefs were friendly and ensured we had a good time. No issues during stay however there was some water in the garage utility room. This was not impacting us in any way however wanted the management team to be aware. Response was immediate and addressed by service team within 30 minutes. Would stay again.
5.0 / 5.0
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!
5.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
4.0 / 5.0
Overall the Lookout met our needs; it had the number of beds, bath and location. For the amount of money asked per night I would have thought the place would have been spotless however, for example, when the blinds where lifted in the master bedroom a cloud of dust came off the blinds, some of the pots and pans were not cleaned well and when adjusting the throw rugs dirt and hair was underneath. The place just needs a better deep cleaning between guests!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great time! Played in the game room, pulled out the kayaks, made s'mores, grilled dinner and enjoyed everything Saugatuck had to offer. Wonderful vacation, everyone happy!

Pictures don’t do this place justice! The outdoor space is incredible and we loved it. Would definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
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!
5.0 / 5.0
What a wonderful stay we had at The Lookout! House was very clean upon arrival, well stocked with amenitites. Perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 young children! Walk to the private beach access was closer than we thought! Beautiful beach area. This was our first time in Grand Haven and we couldn't have asked for a better time! House provided a wonderful variety of beach toys for the kids, beach chairs and wagon to transport! Short 10 minute drive to downtown Grand Haven and Spring Lake for our "boat day"! Enjoyed sitting on the deck in the early mornings and evening for beautiful views of the lake area! Management has been very quick with response to questions, etc! Highly recommend Upscale Lakeshore/The Lookout for a family vacation!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful family reunion with 13 adults and 3 toddlers. There was more than enough space to spread out and large rooms if we wanted to share time together. The house is beautifully decorated and many windows overlooked the fabulous deck and lake area. Beds were super comfy. We took advantage of the in house chef one night. Quite the feast ! Our family took advantage of all activities the house provided: game room, kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit ( be award of chiggers down by the lake, would recommend bug spray ). The kitchen was well stock with the all the basic needs. We highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
Wow! What a fantastic experience! Immaculate home, gorgeous view, so close to the beach and house provided everything! There were clean towels, Beach towels even MAKE-UP towels. Anything I needed they already had, I can’t say enough great things about this vacation rental.
5.0 / 5.0
We had such a good time! Our extended family came, and we enjoyed cooking meals, playing games, the water, the town, and of course, each other. One night we sat around your big table playing games and laughed until we cried! We made lots of memories! Thank you for sharing your home.
5.0 / 5.0
We had 4 guys on a golf trip and the house worked out great—even with two rooms with bunk beds. Great layout and setup and easily accessible from town. Communication with Property Manager was really good, fast and complete replies that met our needs.
One downside that was bad timing that the dishwasher was broken so we had to hand wash daily, but they left plastic utensils to help there.
Only other feedback would be that we had 4 guests and the house could sleep at least 10-12 guests—but we only had 6 bath towels that we could find. Not ideal and easily fixed.
Would recommend in the future for others, and would happily stay there again!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything about the property was great! The house was spotless upon arrival. They mention that the beach is a 10 minute walk but it's just across the street so that was a pleasant surprise. It's very easy to walk to hiking trails nearby.
If you have trouble with stairs this place is not for you as there are lots of stairs! I'd probably prefer 3 beds and just 1 room with bunk beds (there are 2 rooms with queen beds and 2 rooms with bunk beds) but that was by no means a deal breaker and the beds were very comfortable.
5.0 / 5.0
Spent the 2022 holiday blizzard snowed in at the house and couldn't have asked for a better place to be! The property management was amazing. Little touches around the house were taken care of. And to top it off the driveway was shoveled! Would totally go back!!!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything was excellent, the only thing I would like to see different and without charge would be an earlier check-in and a later check-out. I feel 4pm check-in is too late and 10am checkout is too early. They have provisions to request early and late but at a cost; I feel a 2pm in and noon out would be more appropriate and without a charge.
