Treehouse Cottage is a historic, Riverfront Cottage that sits 30 - 40 ft above the Kalamazoo River, connecting Saugatuck to Lake Michigan. The cottage is a short walk (10 - 12 min) or bike ride to Saugatuck's downtown attractions, shops and restaurants. A large screened porch overlooks the river and opens into the living room allowing for true indoor/outdoor living - without the bugs. The view of the river boating traffic and wildlife from the screened porch is incredible and a major attraction of the cottage.

The original cottage was built in the 1850's but has been kept current by ongoing remodeling updates, e.g. a cathedral ceiling in the living/dining room, new carpeting throughout, a covered deck running the full length of the lower level, over-looking the yard and River. A major remodeling of the Master bedroom/bath, kitchen and dining/living great room was completed in 2022. All new kitchen cabinets and appliances were added and the furnishing and furniture was upgraded throughout the main level. Updating of a lower level bedroom, bath and laundry room (new washer/dryer, cabinets, etc) was finished for the 2023 season.There is also Highspeed Broadband WiFi throughout the Cottage and a large flat screen SMART TV entertainment area in the living room. Every bedroom also has aTV with premium cable.

There is a large lawn on the lower river level. It is ideal for sunbathing, fishing, family gatherings, lawn games or enjoying the boat traffic. Fishing from this level is usually good and a new 40' dock enables the renter to dock their own or a rented sport, pontoon, or fishing boat. Canoes, kayaks or paddle boards can be launched from the dock or sea wall and can be rented locally. Please contact the property owner in advance to arrange for FREE dockage, boat trailer storage, etc.

Because the Lake levels can vary from season to season we recommend that you talk directly to us about any concerns you may have with the size or draft of your boat.

Weekly rentals have priority. However, shorter, nightly rentals are common in the Spring & Fall Seasons and on short notice. It is also possible to RENT JUST THE MAIN LEVEL of the cottage for a romantic couples' get-a-way. The main level includes the Master bedroom w/king bed, bathroom, kitchen, dining/living great room and the screened porch. Inquire directly with the owner about this as it isn't possible to receive an accurate quotation using VRBO's pricing software.

Two small dogs (20 lbs each or less) are allowed with the owner's approval and payment of a Pet Fee. Please read the included Pet Policy requirements; especially the need to kennel/crate your pet(s) whenever it's left alone in the cottage.

Our linen package includes bed pads, pillows, pillow cases, sheets and blankets. Bath mats & dish towels are also provided. However, It is necessary for you to bring your own bath and beach towels as they are not provided. If you are traveling by air or over very long distances let us know so we can discuss other possible arrangements.

First of all, Gary was so accommodating with our last minute request. His communication was great & he is very personable. He & Jan have created a beautiful place for guests to stay. As we pulled up to the house we immediately felt comfortable. Everything is pristine and beautifully updated. More than enough space for our family of 4 +dog. We had such a wonderful time eating on the screened in porch (no bugs bothering us), with beautiful views of Kalamazoo River and watching the boats go by. The location was perfect. Easy to get to everything we needed and in a quiet & quaint tree lined neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

This is an incredible location, walking distance to downtown and so peaceful on the river. We especially loved relaxing on the screened in porch watching the boats go by. The hosts were very friendly and attentive to our questions about check in and the stay. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!!

This cottage has everything. It is clean, comfortable, and the water view is incredible. The screened in deck was perfect to just relax and watch the boats go by. Gary and Jan are lovely hosts and checked in several times to see if we needed anything. We had such a good time even our dog was reluctant to leave when it was time to head home.
