Fresh, modern, well-decorated house. Close proximity to Oval Beach and 302 steps at Baldhead State Park. Garage use was a bonus. Eclectic, artistic community with wonderful restaurants and unique shops.

Happy with everything at the home. Newer. unique layout. Awesome location in Saugatuk. Lots of parking. Thanks!

This was our third stay at River Groove. It is a beautiful home in an ideal location. Nestled in the woods, it’s a great place to relax and unwind while being close to the beach and downtown Saugatuck. It’s a quick drive to the beach but also a nice hike through the woods if you prefer. The chain ferry is very close to the house and takes you right into town. The house itself is well designed and maintained. I particularly enjoy sitting on the screened porches listening to birds and the breeze through the woods. It is just a great place!

We enjoyed the atmosphere of the rental and the proximity to holland for the tulip time festival. The hot tub was an added bonus

Very clean home. Close to nice hiking trails. Saw deer and wild turkeys. Nice relaxing weekend.

I've stayed at River Groove several times over the years. Rob has consistently been one of the best hosts I've ever interacted with on VRBO. He's always responsive, and his place is always spotless. He recently remodeled, and the kitchen features all new appliances and is well-stocked with cookware, dishes and silverware. The TVs are new and easy to operate, and the overall look of the home is sleek and modern. The gas fireplace is also new and generates an impressive amount of heat with a simple switch that turns it on and off. The hot tub is tucked into a hillside in the woods and is my favorite part of River Groove. You can sit there and hear the wind blow through the pines and nothing else. I've never stayed there during the summer, but it is very quiet in the offseason, with only a few deer wandering around the property. A 15-minute hike through the dunes (or drive around them) takes you to Oval Beach, and downtown Douglas and Saugatuck are really close, too. Plus, the garage has generally been empty when I've visited, so Rob provides the garage door opener so you can park inside, a nice perk when there's snow. River Groove is an incredible place owned by an incredibly kind person. I look forward to returning again soon.

This is our 3rd time back at River Groove and we can't say enough about this special property. Perfect location, whether it's sunny July or cozy December! We holed up in front of the fireplace and dipped in the hot tub, watching the snow come down. Perfect location and decor. Rob is an amazing host with exquisite taste and puts care into every little detail!

My daughters and I had planned this getaway weekend for some time to Saugatuck MI. The house we rented was delightfully situated in a wooded area with the river about 500 feet away. It was beautifully and tastefully redone and the radiant floor heating was a real bonus with the onset of cold weather. Communication with the property owner was very easy and made us feel very comfortable. The hiking trails were awesome with the beautiful fall foliage. Would definitely return again and would recommend this place with 5 stars.

Beautiful Cottage in great location. Wonderfully decorated. Wooded area but close proximity to the downtown area. We were a week out from the “open season” so we missed the opportunity to utilize the ferry to downtown - but it was only a few minute drive which was convenient. Also just a minute drive to the beach! Would definitely recommend this place. Owner was very friendly and full of great recommendations- you won’t be disappointed!

Rob was amazing to work with. The property was clean and close to all the activities. Great experience!

My wife and I stayed for Memorial Day weekend getaway. We found out we were the first guest to stay in 2 years due to renovations after a fire. This place was perfect getaway spot tucked away with privacy. Only short walk to chain ferry and main streets of Saugatuck. This property was updated nicely and had everything you need for weekend get away. Rob was in good communication before and during our stay. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Saugatuck.

The house is beautiful. Nestled in the trees. Peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed.

great house in great location!

We enjoyed River Groove. The home is clean, well equipped and close to downtown and the beach. Beautiful sunsets on Oval Beach.

Great location. Very nice home with all the amenities.

Stylish and cozy perfect for the end summer/early fall vacation, can’t wait to try other seasons.

This house was perfect for our family of four. Rob was very nice and very easy to communicate with. The house was as described. Very nice location close to Oval Beach, Mt. Boodhead and chain ferry but away from the road. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. A plenty of towels in the bathrooms. House manager was very accommodating too. We are planning to come back! Thanks Rob, we loved your place and had a great time in Saugatuck!

Excellent house, great communication, no complaints whatsoever. Hope to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. Great location! I only have one comment regarding the sleeping arrangements. The bed located in the downstairs was not comfortable for two people. Since there is limited sleeping in this home, it would be nice if the bed were a queen size bed. Also, the current mattress was not good, we both rolled to the middle! But otherwise, I would recommend a stay in this home. It was clean and well cared for. And the property manager was wonderful to work with, always returned my calls timely!

Nice property. Plenty of amenities. The location was great for us. We were just down the road from the chain ferry to cross to downtown. Mount Baldy is up the road for ease of hiking and access to the beach. The screened in porch was great to enjoy the fresh air while not being concerned about bugs. Given the rain we had over the weekend, we enjoyed the luxury of a garage to pull into and walk directly into the house. Definitely worth the stay.

We stayed off-season in this great home. Super location, made a great home base to check out Saugatuck and some of the surrounding areas. Really enjoyed the decor and fun vibe the house has, and it’s really well stocked. The weather was a little cooler than we would have liked for Spring, but it was very nice going back to the house to enjoy the hot-tub in the evenings. Nice and private area back in the trees, yet it’s close to everything. Loved our stay at River Groove!

The house was exactly what it looked like in the pictures. Everything was super clean and fully stocked. Not to mention, Rob was super accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!!

We keep going back to River Groove because it is close to Oval Beach, to the Ferry and between Saugatuck and Douglas. The owner is always adding new gems to the retro decor. My family enjoys the amenities.

What a wonderful place. Rob, the owner, is very engaging and helpful in every way. We truly enjoyed the location - quick walk to the "Chain Ferry" and then a fun ride into town with no parking problems. It's just the best. Hard to find affordable 2 bedroom rentals that are nice and this certainly qualifies as one of the best. It's super quiet and secluded. Enjoy!

We stayed at River Groove for one week and loved it! The location was perfect -- close to the beach and just a short ride on the chain ferry across to Saugatuck or drive to the other cities/towns nearby. We loved the location in the wooded setting and the street was so quiet and peaceful! Rob was fantastic to work with!!

We enjoyed our stay in Saugatuck and were able to explore the area and town before the beginning of the tourist season. River Groove was a great home base and provided us with all the amenities we were looking for.

We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend. Property was clean, modern and ideally located near Oval Beach and the Saugatuck Ferry and into downtown Saugatuck. The property was well kitted out with fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, etc. Bob was very helpful and friendly calling a few days before to give us the lowdown on the property and Saugatuck in general. He couldn’t have been more helpful. Would definitely be back!

Great location. Clean. Clever decor. Comfotable. Kind owners. Would stay here again.

We travel frequently and rent vacation homes 4-5 times a year and this is one of our favorite of all time. The owner and property manager were great to work with and the house is perfect for a small group. We loved our time there and in Saugatuck and can't wait to return.

Our stay was very relaxing! House was beautiful, and well kept. The town was pretty much closed down for winter, but we had lots of fun hanging out in the home with just our family. Definitely coming back!

River Groove was the perfect place to spend a long weekend. The house itself is marvelous, and the location was perfect. We were able to head right out the front door and do some great walks. Shopping and dining was just a short drive away. All in all, I highly recommend this spot! Thank you, Rob!
