Great Spot

Overall the space was pretty good. The location above the gallery is very unique and cool. The beds were comfortable and sheets/towels were great quality. We loved being right next to the restaurant/coffee shop. We had 2 meals there during our stay. A couple things to note is the master bedroom has no door between the bathroom and the bedroom which we didn’t love. But made due. You do have to go up quite a bit of stairs to get into the unit. One suggestion for the property managers/owner would be to provide parking passes as people going to the restaurant tend to not park in the correct spot & it would help the gallery owner who’s managing the parking spots to know that you can park in the designated resident parking. It’s not right down town but easy to get there and convenient to a lot of things in the area. We would recommend this place again.

Great place, Great location

We loved staying at Roan and Black. It’s decorated beautifully, lots of space, great kitchen, and comfy beds. It’s conveniently located, we were within 5 minutes of the water and town. There’s a nice path across the street and we easily walked into town for dinner. It was the perfect space for 4 of us. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location

We enjoyed the location of this lovely apartment over the Roan and Black art gallery. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our family. However if you wanted to go into town it's only a 20 minute walk into Saugatuck and steps away from Pennyroyal restaurant. We also brought bikes to ride into town on the bike path right across the street. It's an ideal spot!

We loved our stay at Roan & Black! It’s a beautiful space - the art, the design, the location. Super comfortable and clean, and an excellent location. The owners and staff in the store were so kind and had excellent recommendations for the area. My sister and I were in town for a a weekend of quilting and we would not have changed a thing about our stay. Hope to be back!

A quiet escape

A peaceful condo just outside of downtown Saugutuck! Located in an apartment above the Roan & Black gallery, you are next to the popular Pennyroyal Cafe (a daily stop for us for our morning coffee) and across the street from a long running / bike trail. The home is filled with amazing artwork from some of the same artists featured in the gallery below. Our shiba enjoyed walking the beautiful back yard, the trail across the street and River Bluff Park which is a short drive / walk away.

A Quiet Retreat Away from the Crowds

Located just outside of downtown Saugutuck, Roan & Black offers an opportunity to step away from the crowded streets and simply relax. The home is adorned with amazing artwork and sits above an incredibly curated gallery. And the backyard is a beautiful space to walk. It was just the peace and quiet we needed, and the owners were just fantastic.

Urban Vibes

Beautiful property, the gardens were incredible, and the condo was meticulously decorated. It was a good fit for our family of 3 plus our pooch. It is on the second floor, so make sure you can manage hauling bags up the stairs. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms well, they were totally cool! The kitchen has everything you might need. It is close to trails and a twenty minute walk to town:)

Absent communication during and after stay - AVOID

Place itself was great - convenient location, overall kept in pretty good shape, lots of character. During our stay, we had three issues. The first was that there not an insignfiicant number of ants running around the unit. Not a horrible problem, given the rustic location, but certainly something that I hope gets addressed for future stays. The second is that the dishwasher was both not functional and moldy. The third was there was a rotting chair frame on the balcony - some splintered and sharp edges, which was a bit concerning, since we have small children and a dog with us. Now all of things are not a huge deal, but when I reached out to Vacasa - the property management group - I never heard a repsonse from them. It's now been about a week and a half since our stay and numerous text messages, emails, and phone calls with Vacasa's central call center and I have not had any followup about issues. Best situation would be to have contact with local management during the stay, but a followup after the stay would be the bare minimum. While the place is nice and unique and the location is great, I would avoid staying at this place - because if you have any issues during your stay, communicating with staff is difficult and would be concerned any issues won't get addressed.

Found bloodstained bed linens on departure

I will start with the positives because the property is beautiful, comfortable, bright, a pleasure to sit in and enjoy drinks outside. One thing worth a mention there is no door between the fabulous master bathroom and bedroom. And the 2nd bedroom is small and limited. We had met the owner in the gallery downstairs who gave us restaurant recommendations, but home issues had to go through Vacasa. The negatives left a bad taste and were not resolved. Firstly the dishwasher was broken, but there was no mention of this even though Nico the cleaner said this was the case for 2 weeks. Calls to Vacasa on the number posted in the property resulted in no return calls. We eventually called an emergency number and the rep was very helpful Secondly I sat on the loungers outside and went straight through. The wooden slats were completely rotten and the cushions were placed over them. This could have resulted in serious injury. Thirdly the sun porch was full of dust and cobwebs by the windows which should have been wiped. The worst discovery was when I was stripping the bed on departure: the underside of the comforter had bloodstains. We were repulsed and very upset. I saw Nico who came to clean and he gave me 2 more numbers for Vacasa. 48 hours now and no return phone call. Vacasa has been extremely elusive and I will continue to find a human being. I would not normally leave a negative review, but Vacasa has given me no choice as there is no one to communicate with! Overall review: wonderful property but the housekeeping and property management and communication fell way short.

Fabulous Fall Getaway

The house was perfect for us and our little pups; great amenities inside, sitting by the fire pit at night and if you need a shopping fix - the gallery downstairs had great unique gifts! The restaurant next door and its provision store was a bonus! The home was a short walk into downtown Saugatuck (maybe a mile or just shy of) on a pedestrian friendly trail. All and all, it was a fabulous fall getaway and we couldn't ask for more!
