Great spot in Downtown Saugatuck

Second visit here and once again it rocked! Nothing better than wandering downtown Saugatuck during the day (and evening without worrying about parking). A short drive to the beach as well as surrounding towns.

Everything was perfection! From the ease of check-in, to the cleanliness, to the wonderful insight, friendliness & recommendations of our contact person, Michael, to the central location of Saugatuck. It was a delightfully unique space located above The Butler Pantry which had a fabulous selection of coffee, wine, and delicious provisions. This has been, by far, my favorite Vrbo stay and I couldn't recommend it high enough.

Great Location

Wonderful little place. Right in the middle of everything. Walk right into town - lots of shops. The town doesn’t really get moving until like 9 AM or so and if you’re an early bird family that’s a little difficult but overall everything was great. The house was so cool and unique. Definitely not a place for toddlers so just keep that in mind if you’re bringing little kids.

Exactly what we were looking for!

This place is quirky and cozy and close to everything. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway out of the city. While it could probably use a deep clean, my family and I loved our stay.
