The two houses are located on a quiet side street in Douglas. We are closer to the beach than most houses in Saugatuck or Douglas and you can walk to the Deli, Root beer barrel and Just add water. The houses were specifically built for large reunions and have large group gathering spaces. Eight matching bedrooms with one queen bed in each room the seventh bedroom the children's crew quarters will sleep four in bunk beds. No dormitory style bedrooms. The Keeper's house is a complete second house with more privacy, a full living room, two (of the eight bedrooms), kitchen and fireplace.
The Main house has a dining table with seating for 14 and a large living room which make sure that no one will be left out when gathered around the fire place. The sun porch, library and small office offer more intimate spaces. The fire pit with free wood, outdoor dining area and the private patios all offer great spaces on warm summer nights. This is our family vacation home. New yet warm. Everything was new in 2014. The building has been completely rebuilt with quality materials by a Architect/Builder. The furnishings were specifically selected for the house. The wood ceilings, floors and trim make the house warm. Craftsman style mosaic work, original art and creative details add character and charm.
Centrally located between downtown Douglas and Lake Michigan. Shopping, dining and entertainment options are just minutes away. We have parking for six cars in our drive and an additional parking just a short walk away.

We only rent the houses as a pair. Three nights minimum for Spring and Fall. Our Summer rentals are a 6 night rentals—Friday to Thursday.

This property was amazing! Four generations gathered to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday. There was plenty of space to gather or spread out. Through creative seating, we were able to have 29 attendees in the kitchen at the birthday dinner. The game room was a big hit as was the fire pit. My dad and wife enjoyed the slightly more private accommodations of the keeper’s house. The pictures don’t do justice to the downstairs “sofa” beds…they are full size, firm and comfortable. The hosts have provided for every creature comfort one could ask for when on vacation. They were VERY responsive to questions and offered lots of good suggestions for local restaurants and places to visit. Many of the more midwestern guests said they will definitely look to use the house in the future. We have all done a lot of vacation home rentals and this house was an exceptional value.

The place was perfect for what we needed. Pleanty of sleeping areas and bathrooms. Easy walking distance to a nice coffee shop and a very short drive to the grocery store and to downtown. The owner was super nice and easy to communicate with. Can definitely see staying there again!

Our annual Thanksgiving trip was spent at the Douglas Boathouse! The accommodations were just as described and shown in photos. We spent great time together in the large kitchen area. The location was great with stores within walking distance. No criticism or things to change. The sound system seemed complicated but no one wanted to spend time trying to figure out how to separate the tv speaker from the music. Instructions were provided. Communication and availability were 5 star!!! Thank you for sharing your home.

When you see the Boathouse in person you will be blown away. Everything exceeded our expectations. Mike was lovely to deal with and we very much felt like invited guests in their home. They have thought of everything.

Our family had a delightful stay at the Douglas Boathouse. We've never stayed in a vacation rental that provided so many conveniences from large numbers and types of Yeti mugs and cups to an entire basket of charging cords. The kitchen is well furnished with everything you can possibly think of. Everyone enjoyed the game room, as well as our time around the fire pit. It's in a lovely, quiet area that's convenient to everything. We also appreciated all of the beach chairs! There was plenty of seating for meals both indoors and out for our large group. The owners went above and beyond in providing so many extras that made our stay comfortable. Our only recommendation is that the doors could use some lubrication to get rid of the squeaks so early risers don't wake up others. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable weekend!

We stayed with our extended family which included 4 children under age 9. This was a super comfortable spot for all of us with plenty of space on the 3 floors plus the keepers house. We loved the game room, yard games, well equipped kitchen, fire pit, comfortable living room and beautiful yard with lots of trees. They even included things like phone cords, a house computer and enough Yetis for the whole crowd. Can't recommend this place more!

This property was perfect for a family getaway. Everything was just as described in the listing. Great places nearby for eating and drinking. Lots of fun to have right on the property!! This was my first VRBO rental and Everything was perfect. Mike was always available if I had any questions. We would like to come again in the summer to experience the lovely beach and water but this place would be great any time of the year.

We travel a lot with large groups of people and we have NEVER had a house this well equipped. They truly thought of everything. The things we really appreciated: firewood, customized yetis, two dishwashers, two washer/dryer set ups, millions of games, lots of room for parking, clean, accommodating host. If you are considering booking this DO NOT HESITATE.

Amazing property with all the details

Amazing property with all the details

We went to Douglass with my entire family of 21 and stayed at this property for 4 nights. This is by far the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. There was plenty of beds for my entire family and room to spare. The house was completely stocked with everything you need in the kitchen. The gameroom and with every amenity you could think of for the entire party. Mike is a great host and checked to make sure we had everything. If you are in Michigan with a big party, Douglas Boathouse is the place to stay!

REVIEW: 5 STARS The Douglas Boathouse was amazing for our family weekend trip! Located in a beautiful, quiet area that is walking distance to the beach and some fun stores/restaurants. Staying here, you are minutes away from any activity desired during your stay. Honestly, we loved the house so much we ended up staying in more than we planned. This house is so well-equipped and thought out, it really makes staying here as a guest feel like home! The owner’s close attention to detail makes your stay effortless: Wi-Fi, music system throughout the house, streaming services, toiletries, activities, games, fully equipped kitchen, etc. The house was very clean, spacious and comfortable for entertaining groups of all sizes. Our group throughly enjoyed the game room and the beautiful backyard fire pit sitting area. We hope to be back again! Thanks so much for having us!
