Perfect cottage getaway! Clean, updated amenities, and quiet location. There is a very good restaurant next to the cottage, but you’d never know! Very cozy and comfortable. Beautiful Historic district with gorgeous homes. Very walkable. Will definitely revisit!

The size was perfect for my adult daughter and I for a few days. The kitchen was well-stocked and it was nice to have a Keurig and coffee pot, with coffee supplied for each. We even used the fireplace one night! Great location! Easy 10 minute walk to town, and far enough away that it was quiet. We took the Chain Ferry in town to get across the river to lots of hiking trails and Oval Beach. Thanks for making our first time to Saugatuck so enjoyable!
