We spent the weekend at Carriage House for a girls trip! It was the perfect space for 8! Plenty of sleeping spaces, stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen. The outdoor space and hot tub were so nice! We could walk almost everywhere we wanted to go! Jeannie was great with suggestions and answering questions.

Owner - Jean was great to work with. Super quick and thorough responsive to inquiries. Her efforts helped us make this selections. Stay met all our expectations. Home is as per all the photos and has a lot Historic charm but with many modern updates. The 4-seasons room w/breakfast area and bunkbeds was a hit for my younger children with lots of space to play, sleep, etc. Lots of sleeping surfaces for mid-larger sized families. Firm beds in each bedroom/sleeping area. So many bath towels and washcloths available, amazing. Although our stay was a mid-winter event, we can tell that a summer time visit would be super great with easy access to downtown, and a decent sized back-yard and deck for outdoor fun.Great little area/community. The Southern restaurant across the street has amazing fried chicken and other meals. The Saugatuck downtown area was cozy and lots of nice little shops/art gallery areas if that's of interest for you. Home is close to the larger Holland and Grand Rapids areas for bigger activities/shopping. Amazing snow sledding hill in Holland - @ Van Raalte Farm Park. Is well lite at night for evening snow sledding fun.

We were a group of 10 women enjoying a girls weekend in Saugatuck, MI—our first time visiting, and celebrating two milestone 50th birthdays! The home was absolutely fabulous: spacious, stylish, and perfect for a group getaway. Even better was the location—just a short walk to the heart of town with its charming shops, great restaurants, and vibrant atmosphere.The hosts were wonderful—very communicative and easy to reach, which made everything smooth and stress-free. This rental was the ideal setting for a memorable celebration and a perfect introduction to Saugatuck. Highly recommend!

Jean was so accommodating, friendly, and quick to respond to messages. The property is just as pictured and we had a great time on our quick getaway. It is on the main road so I wasn't fully prepared for that as we hadn't been to the area before, but the location was perfect for a 10 minute walk to downtown - ideal because downtown parking is a challenge!

Family Wedding
What a perfect place to spend with family for wedding celebrations. The location was ideal - just a short walk to shops and restaurants - and across the street from some of the best fried chicken we've ever had! Jean was an amazing host - very quick and attentive and kind with responses. The home is very open, comfortable, clean and roomy. The outdoor area/patio was the ideal size for family gatherings/BBQs/campfire/etc. - exactly as the pictures portrayed. Definitely would stay again and recommend.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! What a beautiful and cozy home with all the things we needed! We played games, watched movies, sat by the fire, enjoyed the hot tub, and had a yummy dinner right across the street! We traveled into town to shop and even to the neighboring town of Holland. Such a lovely place to visit! Thankful we found this gem!

This carriage house is so beautiful inside and outside. We had so much fun. Went to the beach, listen to a concert in the park went on the Donut Boat. Hiked a little which was close to the house. Had dinner at The Southerner-just across the street from the house. Best fried chicken and tasty biscuits.

Wonderful experience!
Beautiful property, convenient location, host was great at communicating & lots of special treats - coffee, S’mores, plenty of linens & beds for our group of 9. Could not have had a better time! Thought we’d rent bikes, but everywhere was a 10 minute walk or less (except the beach, but that was a 10 minute easy drive). Cannot recommend highly enough.

This was our third year in this wonderful house and it was another perfect vacation. This house has so many options for sleeping and being together; it is located within walking distance to Saugatuck (our favorite place in Michigan!) and Lake Michigan so there is no shortage of things to do. This house is perfect for families and friends and the owners just couldn't be more welcoming and helpful; they have been lovely to deal with.
Anyone who stays will be happy here and leave with the most amazing memories. Don't hesitate!

Carriage House was wonderful!
We had our entire family stay at the carriage house, and we had more than enough beds and rooms to accommodate everyone. We loved the backyard with the hot tub and the fire pit. It was also big enough for my kids to throw the football around!
The front porch was a wonderful spot to drink our morning coffee!
We walked into town at least once a day/night, and it was a very easy walk! The location was perfect to downtown, Oval Beach, the golf courses nearby, the mini golf course, and Saugatuck Dune Rides!

All was well. Jeanne was very good with communicating. I believe they were full and single bed. A little too small for two people. Me and my husband slept separate. If you have a bad back, you may want to bring something firm for your bed. Overall it was fine for just my family.
