Great property and location

We met friends here for a long weekend stay and loved the location of this property. Douglas was quieter than Saugatuck and we could walk to a great deli, coffee shops, grocery, restaurants, and Douglas Beach. We enjoyed a night in with the grill and fire pit, too. The house was very clean and comfortable for our party of 4. I would stay here again!

We had a wonderful time, such a convenient location, close to farmhouse, the root beer barrel, and the beach. We spent the weekend all over Saugatuck and Douglas and loved coming back to the fenced yard and screened porch at night. A really great house. Thanks for being such great hosts!

Amazing Michigan Cottage!

Our stay at Douglas Cottage was the perfect location for our Memorial Day weekend getaway! The house was clean, beautifully decorated and had a great location for outings to downtown areas of Douglas and Saugatuck and Oval Beach. It was well-furnished with everything we needed. We enjoyed the firepit and patio each evening and the frequent sightings of deer, turkeys and bluejays. The whole family would highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness
It is a well designed house and easy to use. However most things were covered with dust like it was the first rental of the year. The coffee pot overflowed each time we used it. The bathroom sink stopper was broken, the TP holder was gone, the pocket door pull was unscrewed, the lamps beside the bed were unplugged and the bed was too heavy for us to find an outlet. We were surprised that art galleries and restaurants were not open during Tulip Week. You did send someone out quickly to fix some of the items.
