Holiday Hill Resort "The Captain's Cottage" Unit 720

The Captain's Cottage is where it all started. Back in the late 1940's my grandparents and great grandparents bought this home and the vision of Holiday Hill came to be. This historic cottage features a Master bedroom with King bed and in room full bath. The other side of the home features a second bedroom with a second full bath just outside the door complete with washer and dryer as well for longer stays. In the living space the sofa pulls out into a memory foam queen. In the foyer area, two large arm chairs pull out into two twin beds perfect for the kids.
​
This home features a very large kitchen complete and ready to cook large meals in. A full dining table accompanies a smaller breakfast nook. In addition there is a private back patio facing the forest. In the front yard you have a beer garden with corn hole or "bags." For the cooler fall nights there is a fully functioning gas fireplace.
​
For a two bedroom this one has a lot of space. It's an open concept floo

Holiday Hill Getaway

Our group of three 60-something year olds had a great time at the top of the hill overlooking downtown Saugatuck! The rental was clean, ready, and the people and Staff we interacted with work cordial and polite! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and chill time in southwestern Michigan!

Great Saugatuck Family Location

We very much enjoyed our stay. We had kids and adults with plenty of room for everyone. Pretty much 2 master suites which was perfect for 2 families. A huge walk-in area and really loved the back deck. Very clean and was just as advertised. There are a lot of stairs! Be ready for that :) Our only negative was the Beachway Resort and the woman at the front desk - really all the other employees there were fantastic, she was not to say the least. Right as I walked in, the woman immediately started scolding me for having a boat in tow, I had to calm her down and let her know we weren't keeping it there but just drove 3 hours and wanted to get the kids to our VRBO before my husband took the boat to the marina down the street. A very short time later, as we were hiking the huge amount of stairs to bring our luggage up she made a rude comment that we brought too much (which we didn't at all - I wore every piece of clothing and ran out of kids clothes) and should have brought only a helmet. She could have nicely told us about the luggage carrier on the other side of the resort area instead. Finally, when we checked-in she gave us 1 parking slip. I told her we are in the big house and have 2 cars. She said that its fine just have the other car park in the parking lot as long at there is room (this was on Friday.) On Monday morning I happened to take a call outside and my friend's car was being towed away! We were able to stop the tow truck but at that time my friends had to deal with a tow truck, a police officer and the rude woman again who had called to have the car towed from a place we paid to stay at. One of the most unfortunate hotel workers I've ever encountered.

Great Property!

We rented The Captain’s Cottage for a 40th birthday girls weekend! Nick, the property manager, was quick to respond to questions and also dropped in to welcome us and see if we needed anything! The pool was great. The property is very close to town with a ferry across the street. They aren’t lying about the stairs! Be prepared to climb. We had a great experience!

Saugatuck Visit

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was spacious, clean and in a great location for access to the beach and town via the unique chain ferry. The pool and access to coffee, snacks at the hotel property were a bonus. All of the folks we encountered were helpful and friendly. The nearby city of Holland was also worth the visit.

We've been renting VRBO's for over 15 years, this was the cleanest and best kept property we can remember! The staff was very friendly, the house spotless and the grounds very well kept. Ideal location to walk to the beach and ferry across the river to downtown. Awesome!

The perfect getaway

First of all, you couldn't ask for a better location. You are literally 2 minutes from Oval beach(which is perfect for me), also a hop-skip-and-a-jump from the chain ferry which brings you right into downtown. Nick's cottage was perfect, extremely spacious and had all the comforts of home. I actually loved that it was at the very top of the hill, despite all of those steps, it was great exercise! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Nick!

Great property, close to everything, great staff!

We traveled to the Lake with our two boys (4 and 2) and stayed in Glen Arbor before coming down to Saugatuck. The place was lovely and our favorite - it is larger than it looks in the pictures, if that's possible. Very roomy inside, we definitely could've had more people stay with us. The staff was responsive and so friendly. The back deck was under the trees and the boys were excited to see some deer - surprisingly not buggy, so we ate on the deck plenty. The pool area was also great for the kids. Comfortable beds, roomy kitchen. The beach is literally a two minute drive, and the town of Saugatuck is really nice and right across the river. Lots of stairs to climb, and the driveway is a little steep and tight. Another downside for our family was that there is currently no recycling service (we saw Nick at the pool and he explained how the town's program works - they don't make it an easy process). Would absolutely visit here again - loved this place.
