We loved the big covered front porch and the fire pit out back. Our family would be happy to stay again. Easy check in and out and good communication from the rental company. Very happy overall with our trip!! Thanks for a relaxing long weekend!!"

Beautiful Lake House

Overall it was an incredibly beautiful property. We did wish there was easier walking access in the back yard down to the lake. We rented paddle boards and walked them down the hill and it was a bit overgrown. Other than that just amazing location, private and close drive to the shopping. We had a very fun, peaceful and relaxing time.

Great except lake access

Clean and well maintained property with decent space tucked away with a lot of trees. Only thing I didn't like is that the lake access claimed is not really accurate, to get to a beach you have to drive around 15-20 minutes

Great stay, had lots of room to relax and do activities, lake is just a short walk away, if we were to stay again we like to see if adding stairs down the hill to the lake is possible (we had 2 pregnant woman with us) and if the area by the lake was better maintained, we had to walk through some pretty tall weeds to get to the shore and with the overgrown weeds came a lot of bugs we had to deal with, other than that it was a great place and definitely would recommend!

Family get together

We had a few friends and family stay with us for the weekend. Property was wooded and private. It wasn’t super clean in the kitchen and there were a lack of cooking pans. Updated appliances and new beds. Plenty of space. We enjoyed our stay. Make sure to bring bug spray

Just as pictured!

This is a beautiful house! We had trouble finding it late at night and much to our surprise someone answered our call to help guide us in! There are plenty of towels, the house was very clean and well maintained. It’s a little out of the way but yet so close to shopping and restaurants. Best of both worlds!

Great weekend girls trip

The property is exactly as described, the area is quiet but very accessible to anything you would like to do. The seclusion made it very peaceful. The fire pit was a great amenity as well. The check in and out process was clear and easy. I would certainly recommend this property and Unsalted Vacations to anyone traveling to Michigan!

Peacefully and Beautiful location!

This house has a beautiful location and is set up nicely for a small group. The loft was a wonderful place for our group to hang out and play games. The large dining room table was much appreciated as it sat 8, allowing our group to eat together. Everything was very clean and we had a wonderful stay.

Updated House in a Serene Location

Loved this house. Completely updated in terms of decorating (just no window coverings in the main living areas) & appliances. Beautiful lot in a wooded, serene neighborhood. 10 minute drive to Saugatuck or Douglas. The only downside was the dirt/gravel driveway, so we were tracking dirt on the front porch and into the front of the house all week (made worse by rain during our stay).

Great first time staying in Saugatuck. Saw lots of wildlife - deer, turkeys, black squirrels. Easy to get into town, Oval Beach, and breweries/restaurants. Very clean and comfortable home with everything you could need - all you have to bring is your food and you’re set!
