Secluded yet right around the corner is the downtown.

Beautiful, quiet, and picturesque cottage with lots of charm and amazing proximity to the main section of Saugatuck. It was a pleasure to stroll up to the shops and restaurants without having to deal with parking, and the serene property is cute as heck. However, If the rest of this rental wasn’t so great, the bed alone would drop this down to 1-2 star review territory. Squeaky, clunky old bed frame that was one rough tumble away from collapsing, and a terrible, cheap, springy mattress. Seriously, I’ve stayed at scary back-country one star motels that made me afraid I was going to be axe-murdered in my sleep that had better beds and mattresses than this one. For the high price of this stay, it was certainly an unexpected level of back pain and being woken at all hours anytime one of us moved. It’s so unfortunate, because otherwise this is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed and should be an easy 5 star review.

The bed's were terrible. Not a good sleep and definitely overpriced mainly due to that!! Would never recommend it.

Super cute and exactly as described. Perfect location and it is just a great little spot. Highly recommend.

We loved the cabin feel of the place. Great character. Would definitely book again.

First time visiting Saugatuck. We loved the community very nice but a majority of the businesses are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Peterson Mill was very cute and clean BUT tiny. I think the price is high, after cleaning fee and add’l fees/taxes it was over $1,000 for two nights. I didn’t find the available amenities to be worth the price paid.

The house was a nice place to stay. Very comfortable . The stairs are steep

Great place and super nice owner!

Great trip. Cottage was cozy and clean.

We really enjoyed our three nights at Peterson Mill! Very quaint, has all the accommodations, and is close to everything! Plenty of room for the two of us. If you have the pleasure of meeting the property owner Erik, you will be treated to hearing lots of fun tidbits about the history of the area and his family's contributions to Saugatuck! When we return we will definitely stay here again!

This darling little cottage is in a great location for walking to the harbor and downtown restaurants and shops. The bed was comfortable, and the place was clean, but there weren't many frills provided. Bring your own coffee and bottled water and expect the bar minimum for things like shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. The amenities have a motel feel ... Clean but sparce.

I have a handful of things. One- the stairs to the the lower level is STEEP. It's not suitable for anyone w kids or older adults. If we knew those stairs would be so steep we would have picked something else out. My husband and I brought our dog (she didn't even want to take the stairs) and we stayed upstairs the whole time. Second- the basement TV the smalllllllllll. Third- with today's streaming, there was no Roku or fire stick, Xfinity tv was early 2010s. We went and bought a Roku to have something to watch. Fourth and final- ants. A lot of ants on the main countertop where the sink is. They were getting in every thing. Now a couple good things. The owner of the property is a very nice gentleman. He was kind and welcoming and checked on us when we were outside. He kept the outside really nice. The location of the place was good. I've been to MI multiple times so I know you have to drive distances but the state is so pretty and it was good weather vs the IL heat wave 2022 lol. Pls note, not all guests would want to watch TV and cook food at their rental property for the days that you're there but we wanted to mention it as it would be helpful.

My parents came to visit me and my husband in Chicago and we wanted to plan a short trip to Michigan during their stay. We had never been to Saugatuck and booked the Mill based on the location to downtown. When we arrived, Erik, who lives in the home right next to the Mill, happened to be outside and greeted us. He was so kind and funny and gave us so many good tips for the area. The home was perfect for us. The one problem we had was that the mattress on the pull-out couch was a bit worn down and not terribly comfortable. We are already planning another trip to Saugatuck and will definitely stay here again.

I loved the whole set up just very calm and relaxing. The running mill is super cool and helps you sleep. Also super close to downtown maybe a 10 minute walk. Just wish we had stayed longer.

I had a wonderful time at the mill. Very clean, very quiet. Definitely recommend for a solo traveler or couple.

Peterson Mill was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. The property was very clean and in a great location. Walkable to downtown Saugatuck yet tucked away to feel private and quiet. We enjoyed hiking in saugatuck dunes state park nearby with our dog. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a wonderful place for a couples get away. The stairs are steep so I would say make sure you can do stairs. The property was so calming and private. Located close to town and lots of wineries. Only issue we really had was Internet was weak. Will definitely be going back !!!

Everything views were spectacular, proximity to Saugatuck was excellent. Place in great condition, 2 caveats, need to clean under the couch better, and a few light bulbs were out

Nice historic getaway we loved the history of the mill and thee owner was very nice and told us the history of the mill. On entering we did smell a musty odor so bought air freshener which helped, the stairs were very steep and narrow and not enjoyable to go up and down. Bed was too hard and frame was squeaky. Upstairs was fine and was clean except the rug in kitchen had a lot of dog hair on it. I wouldn't stay again just because of the stairs being steep and difficult for my arthritic husband going up and down so many times.
