Sweet Cottage

We had a great weekend with friends at Little Stuga. The cottage is charming…the outdoor space was incredible. This would be a perfect location when the chain ferry is operating. One of the mattresses really needs replacing. All in all, would stay again.

Little Stuga is very cozy.

I have to say, Little Stuga exceeded my expectations. It was a very cozy stay. Everything was clean and there was everything that was needed. Just wish the weather would have been better so we could have enjoyed the outdoor areas. We were very disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work.

Cozy and Close

We loved the location of the Little Stuga. It was very easy to take the ferry over to Saugatuck and to drive a few minutes down the road to Oval Beach. It is a small cottage for no more than four people, two bedrooms and one and a half bath. We used the screen front porch every day and the fire pit area. Very private property.

Girls rock hunting summer getaway

Little Stuga was the perfect cottage for two of us! Everything was well maintained and well stocked. We enjoyed the screened-in porch, alot! Plenty of restaurants and rocky beaches nearby. We used the interurban transport to go over to Saugatuck for a cruise and dinner -- very convenient and adfordable! Hope to return next year!

Excellent Experience

The property exceeded our expectations; it was very comfortable, clean and mostly private. There are small areas around the house to chill out and enough space inside to get the privacy you need to simply read a book, listen to the rain or take a nap. Check-in was very easy, communication was prompt and useful and the property was well maintained and documented.

Wonderful Private Cottage

We had a great time at Little Stuga! Very clean set back from road which offered a quiet getaway for us to relax at the end of the day. The outside had several different sitting locations which we appreciated. After the beach the outdoor shower was lovely and we were happy sand wasn’t tracked everywhere. The care package with shampoo, soaps, lotions as well as items for the kitchen and laundry soap was a nice added touch. I highly recommend Outside Coffee across from the Root Beer Barrel and Wild Dog Grille for dinner both within 5-10 minutes of the cottage.

Charming Cottage

We were looking for a place that felt like “vacation” and this place was lovely. The living room was cozy and the outdoor spaces relaxing. The porch was our favorite spot. We saw deer and wild turkey. We loved being close to Oval beach and we were able to catch the sunset. I would stay here again!

Lovely little get-away

It was our first trip to the Douglas/Saugatuck area. The property is nicely situated, tucked away in a little cul de sac away from the bustle of the waterways but really close to everything. Very homey and comfortable. Lots of outside sitting areas including one with a fire pit. Wildlife in abundance! Will definitely stay again.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a super quick drive to Douglas Beach which we enjoyed over Oval. Less crowded with easier and free access. There’s lots to do around town for families all within 5-10 min drive. The outdoor area is very nice with multiple seating areas and a nice fire pit area. As an older home it does have a distinct smell that we got used to but smelled it on our belongings once we got home. There were also multi spiders and other bugs in and around the home. Doesn’t bother everyone but my kids did not approve of that! The house was very quiet and was stocked with what we needed.
