Saugatuck and Douglas are the embodiment of small town America. These harbor villages turn back the pages of time and enter a simpler life. Throughout its history, artists have been drawn to this area. This heritage continues through strong ties to the Art Institute of Chicago. In summer enjoy the many festivals, art based events and the new Saugatuck Center of the Arts featuring many musicals and plays. Visit in spring for the Waterfront Film Festival, or in the summer for the Chamber Music Festival, professional summer stock theatre, year round jazz concerts or the arts and craft shows. Picnic by the gazebo in Wicks Park overlooking the harbor, or ride a victorian hand-cranked ferry. Rent a canoe, or charter a sailboat. Take a stroll along the boardwalk and explore many galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. If golf is your passion, hit the links at one of several 18-hole championship courses while the kids take lessons at the area's golf school. Don't leave without taking a thrilling dune buggy ride or spending at least one day at beautiful Oval Beach. End your vacation at the corner drug store in downtown Saugatuck where hand-creamed sodas and shakes have been a specialty for 86 years. Or maybe go to Crane's Pie Pantry and pick up a home-made pie or handpick your own fruit and bake it yourself. Fine dining and great shopping are all a walk away.

A vintage cottage with all the amenities you can imagine. Very thoughtfully set up. Within walking distance to the Douglas downtown where you can find lovely eateries, boutique shops and galleries. It's easy to get to Saugatuk, sister town to Douglas, and to Oval Beach on Lake Michigan. Saugatuk also has many boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, parks and beautiful waterway. Both town are very dog friendly, restaurants brought out water bowls for our dog and all the shops had bowls outside their store. The people are the friendliest. Lots of entertainment and events. We enjoyed a musical at the Saugatuk theater. A little piece of heaven with the best temperatures in the country during the hottest part of summer. We would go back again!

We had a great time in Douglas. We go every year and enjoy the Douglas and Saugatuck hospitality. Ben’s home is within walking distance to just about everything. The home has two very large bedrooms upstairs that are quite comfortable. The main floor bedroom is a bit smaller, but also very comfortable. this is a perfect home for a group of friends or a family. The highlight of the house is the screened in porch. I highly recommend this home.

Booked this property for a family vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and quaint location as well as the functionality of the house and property. The property provided accommodations for all- from the screened in porch, to the outdoor fire pit/table, to the hot tub, there’s comfortable space for everyone and everything. Don’t hesitate to book this property if you’re looking for some old world hospitality!

My only concern were the steps... not great for young people or older people. But otherwise, overall good visit. Also, bed in den was not sleepable.... very uncomfortable. Owner was very communicative and helpful.

My extended family and I wanted to get together to celebrate my Mother’s and nephew’s birthdays. There were 10 of us in total. We have nothing but rave reviews for the host and our location. Originally, we looked at rentals in Saugatuck but decided on the quieter town of Douglas instead. We were so glad we did. Quiet. Quaint. Conveniently located. We did a fun excursion every day. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Lovely 1895 home

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood very convenient to walking downtown. The screened in front porch was a lovely place to enjoy a quiet afternoon with friends. There was a new hot tub, which we didn't use, and a wonderful fire pit with swivel chairs. The location of the downstairs bathroom relative to the bedroom is rather inconvenient since you have to walk through the dining room, sitting room, and front hall to get to the bathroom.
