Quaint and comfy! The location is perfect. We love the Butterfly Cottage!

This cute cottage is walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and riverfront in Saugatuck. The main house has one bath, and the bungalow in the yard has one bath. We were two couples (one stayed in the house, one in the bungalow) so that worked out well. The house and furnishing are older, but comfortable. We appreciated the washer / dryer in the basement. Also a nice plus when you are away for a week. There is also one off-street parking space, which comes in handy on the weekends. Communication from the owner was great. Love Saugatuck!

We really enjoyed our time at the Butterfly Cottage! It was a cheery and comfortable space, and a great home base for our time at Lake Michigan. The Saugatuck/Douglas area seems particularly challenging for cell tower reception and reliable data, so having wifi was helpful when it was working smoothly. The back patio was lovely for summer evening dinners cooked in the kitchen, especially since we left home during a power outage with the full contents of our freezer - so we had plenty to cook! Some larger size bowls and platters would have been helpful for our party of 7, but creative use of pots and pans worked well! Thank you for a memorable stay!

It was wonderful. Fantastic location. Our elders could get around the house. The younger generation had the rear building. There was a fence for the dogs. The neighbors are friendly. We would come back. Charming cottage and property.

Property was very nice, loved the cheery colors in the home. Was close to town and within walking distance of everything. Only suggestion is to improve wifi. At times spotty and hard to stay connected with. Otherwise lovely home, nice neighborhood and town with lots to do

Cottages were clean and well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Just a few blocks from downtown Saugatuck. Truly enjoyed out stayed.

My Sister, niece and I stopped into Saugatuck for 2 nights on our way to Traverse City. Enjoyed the day experiencing the amazing shops! Always greeted with a big smile and hospitality. Butterfly Cottage was a comfortable, cozy and convenient retreat. Perfect for our getaway. Cannot emphasize the location enough!! My niece truly enjoyed the “bungalow ” for her solitude. Awesome space and place!

Great location, cozy house, everything went as planned. I would definitely stay there again!

Super cute house in a great location! Quick response to issue with a lock. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellant

This is a lovely cozy cottage. Having the guest house was so cute. Very impressed with the updated bathrooms. Enjoyed our stay!

The location was perfect for our trip. We are a group of women that wanted to shop, eat, go out and embrace the downtown. We were walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The property was quaint. I loved the decor. I wasn’t sure about the cottage being separated from the house but it worked well and both were nice. Overall I would recommend the cottage.

Five sisters ages 63-72. We had a wonderful time talking, laughing and “catching up.” The Butterfly Cottage was perfect for what we wanted. Off the beaten path, but still close to shops. Younger people could have easily walked everywhere. Being sisters, we didn’t mind sharing beds just as we did as children!

Everything was very nice. So close to the restaurants and shops. Everything was in walking distance. Very clean cottage with all modern accessories. We had a great time. Thank you so much!!

Able to walk to everything in Saugatuck, but far enough away to be quiet.

This was a great house to spend a week touring Saugatuck and relaxing. Location makes walking to Saugatuck shops, eateries, etc easy. The property was spacious to allow indoor activities to be spread out and give everyone space. Outdoor fire pit and patio were nice amenities and a great add. Kitchen table seating might be tight for a full house but there’s a ton of restaurants in Saugatuck. Nice place, host, and experience.

Girls Group - trip with friends. Some significant dust on all the ceiling fans And pet hair in a room all over the bench, which I cleaned up upon arrival ( I’m a professional cleaner so I’m pretty particular, and some significant dirt on baseboards was noticed) However, all communication with property point of contact about questions were handled very well! Prompt response, which was greatly appreciated. I’d stay here again with my friends- we enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect for walking straight into downtown! Cute decorations & roomy for our party of 4!

It was very comfortable and in walking distance to all the shops and bars/restaurants downtown! A perfect home base for a weekend getaway to Saugatuck.

Cute cottage in a fantastic location. Love the detached guest house.

Property was beautiful and in great proximity to shops and restaurants.

Overall this is a cute old cottage that has a charm about it. For the most part we were comfortable during our stay. The main house was cozy but there was no heat in the guest cottage. We called Katherine (property manager or owner I am not sure) and she promptly sent her maintenance guy to fix it. There were also bugs in the guest cottage bathroom which we dealt with ourselves and didn't reach out to Katherine in regards to this issue. The day after we checked out I received a text from Katherine that said that our dog damaged a blind and there was urine on a top sheet that was on a bed. She sent a picture of the small portion of the blind that was damaged and also sent a video of the sheet going into the washing machine. This was an extra sheet that was already stained (but clean) that I found in the basement to cover the white couch to protect it from any dirt the dogs brought in from the muddy yard. Katherine demanded that I pay her $200 for the damage to the blind and for a new sheet set. Our younger dog was fully supervised or crated. Our older dog is a 7 year old 90lb Golden Retriever that does not chew on anything except his toys. I asked for a photo of the whole blind to see where the damage was located on the blind so I could understand how the damage could have occurred. She did not send one. I also asked for a receipt for the replacement blind and sheet and again she did not send it. I am happy to pay for any damages done during my stay. However, I would like additional photos and receipt to verify the damages and $200 charge. Katherine was not easy to work with to try to come to a resolution. She kept demanding that I pay $200 with no willingness to work towards a resolution. Tip- check both cottages for any damages when you arrive and take a picture.

The Butterfly will always be one of our favorite dog friendly rentals in Saugatuck.

Great property but needs outside lighting. Fenced in backyard was nice. Great location. Would come back in the warmer seasons to enjoy all the bars, shops and restaurants!

Another wonderful stay at a most beautiful cottage!!!

Overall the cottage and location were great. I gave 4 stars because when you walk in your greeted with a musty basement odor. The mattresses and pillows could be updated as they were not comfortable at all. The comforters/quilts could be washed, they looked a little dingy. Overall it was a nice stay

We loved the cottage. Fun decor and wonderful location! We would definitely stay here again!

We found the cottage exactly as advertised. The fenced yard was ideal for our furr baby and sitting outside enjoying the star lit sky with a bottle of local wine. The cottage had comfortable furnishings and beds. If you need a special pillow, we suggest you take it with you. The kitchen was well stocked if one would like to make meals. Location is perfect for walking to Water and Butler Streets for shopping, eating, and wine tasting -- just 2-3 blocks. We had a few minor issues which had no impact on our stay. When I emailed the owner, the response was quick and to our satisfaction. We'll definitely stay at the Cottage again if available for our next trip to Saugatuck.
