Wilma, the host is so kind. We LOVED her charming historic cottage and stunning magical garden. She thought of everything in her well-appointed cottage. So many adjectives to describe this place - quiet, peaceful, cozy! Highly recommend. Tucked at the end of a wooded cul de sac, but close to everything. As downtown Saugatuck gets busy with no parking, it is not a problem as a shuttle bus will pick you up at the door and bring you back for 1. So convenient!

The Saugatuck/Douglas community is a special place: quaint shops, quirky history, quality restaurants, and a cohesive community. The cottage provides everything one or two people need for a relaxing stay. Sitting in the garden is a summer delight. The host is appropriately attentive, both town centers are within walking distance. Recommend nearby Modales Wines for serious tasting.

Nice stay in Saugatuck

While the cottage is small, it was perfect for a quick couple of nights away from home. Clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed. Waking distance from downtown Saugatuck made it easy to go to town.

A delightful getaway!

We were greeted warmly by Wilma, our host, who continued to be available for anything we needed. We had been to the cottage one other time and found it as charming as ever! It was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and has a delightful backyard garden with fountain and lovely flowers and yard art. The neighborhood was quiet for a good night’s sleep, and the bed, linens, and shower were so comfortable. It was just what we needed for a refreshing getaway!

Very charming cottage close to town

The back patio and garden were very tranquil, and the cottage was cozy and well-stocked with everything we needed. Wilma greeted us warmly as soon as we pulled up and let us know she was available if we needed anything. The cottage was tucked back on a quiet drive but a very short walk to all shops and restaurants.

Phenomenal location and hospitality!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay than at the Lark! Upon arrival, Wilma was there to greet us and tell us about the history of the cottage and her beautiful gardens. The cottage itself was absolutely darling and made for a cozy long weekend stay for my partner and I. It is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main drag in Saugatuck and we enjoyed having that convenient access to dining and shopping. Overall, we would gladly stay at the Lark again and thoroughly recommend it to others!

Cozy and comfortable cabin with beautiful backyard.

We very much enjoyed our stay. We brought our ebikes so the location was great since we could easily ride our bikes to either downtown Saugatuck or Douglas. While the cabin is basically one big room and a bathroom we had enough room. It would have been nice to have a stove to cook breakfast on. We did use the small refrigerator and microwave for lunches.
