Lovely townhome, very well equipped with everything needed. The owner was extremely easy to communicate with and offered an early check-in, which we appreciated so much. Only suggestion I would have is possibly illuminating the address on the road, as it is very difficult to find in the dark. Other than that I have no hesitation re-booking for a future stay and even suggesting to family and friends this location if they are traveling to Saugatuck/Douglas.

Everything was excellent. It was clean, conveniently located and very charming. The communication with the host was great! We would definitely recommend this. One minor suggestion would be to have something out by the street to make it a little easier to find at night-maybe a solar light or reflectors. Still a 10 out of 10! Thanks so much!!

We had a wonderful stay! Lynn was so quick to respond and provided great tips of things to do in the beautiful Saugatuck area! There was a welcome gift too upon our arrival, which was so thoughtful, and a basket of "forget me items" if you forget something from home too:). What a great idea! The home is so cute, clean and in a great location! We did the dune rides, which were a lot of fun too and dinner at Phils, which was delicious. Thanks for everything! We had a fun weekend!
