Heated pool and steps from downtown Saugatuck! Family-friendly retreat
A hidden gem located just up the hill from downtown Saugatuck. Plenty of living space on all three levels including a first floor master suite, 4-season room, loft space, and newly renovated basement. Use the fully stocked kitchen to prepare gourmet meals or choose from the two outdoor gas grills for a poolside BBQ. Lounge in the private/heated in-ground pool or the hot tub, while being secluded from the world by the surrounding towering trees. The convenient pool house comes with a kitchenette and full bathroom so you never have to leave poolside! The pool also features an automated cover for added safety. Visit local parks for picnics and serene walks, check out the river, or take a 10 minute drive to world-famous Oval Beach! Multiple ski resorts within a 2-hour drive allow you to enjoy a day on the slopes and come home for après-ski in the hot tub. The home is one block from downtown where you can indulge in the best restaurants, shops, and entertainment options in the area, before coming back for a nightcap in the serene and cozy all seasons room. Great for families and adult getaways. Excellent wifi coverage indoors and outdoors - the perfect place for a work-from-home and/or virtual-schooling holiday. We can't wait to welcome you! * Please no large parties or gatherings.

Excellent location. Great outdoor spaces. Pool and hot tub were a plus. Only downsides were a horrible smell of body odor in basement bed. It was unusable and the blender needs to be replaced.
We had a 20th anniversary for our book club with 9 women. This house was perfect! Plenty of room to gather or just hang out by yourself. The pool and hot tub were an extra added bonus. Some of the BEST breakfast, lunch, dinner and shopping were just a few steps away.
Everyone had a great time!
We had 6 adults and 3 children under 6. The location was perfect for walking to town, restaurants and the playground. The pool and hot tub were ideal for fun and relaxation. The main living spaces worked very well for the 3 families. Everyone had a great time.
The house was perfect for our family of 8.
Plenty of space to gather both inside and out. The pool and hot tub were both very nice.
Negatives were : downstairs area was not well cooled therefore hot at night. No bathroom on the second floor is really inconvenient.
This is a great family vacation home. We all (ages 2-70) loved the pool and hot tub as well as proximity to town with fun shops, coffee houses and restaurants. A short drive to spectacular Oval Beach we were well equipped with all the pool toys and beach towels we needed. Highly recommend.
The home is very spacious and well appointed, with 3 floors and sleeping options on all floors. The heated pool and hot tub are very well maintained, and a big bonus for us was the motorized pool cover which provided extra safety for our kids ages 1-5. The location is perfect....walkable to downtown Saugatuck (playground, shops and restaurants, and other activities). The poolhouse with fridge for beverages and full bathroom is another bonus. The kitchen had everything we needed but is a bit small (not an issue for our big group as there is plenty of dining space). The stairs are a bit steep-again not an issue for us but might be for someone with knee/hip issues. We are looking forward to staying again in the future!
We loved our stay here! Perfect location. Beautiful property and heated pool. What more could you want? We would like to stay here again in the future.
Pool hot tub and house were great. Clean and super nice decor. Stocked appliances and host was great!
Only thing that would make it better is to have a leaf blower to get the stuff that falls from the trees 😋 just that time of year probably though
Perfect location and walking distance to town. Hot tub and pool were great! House was nicely decorated and beds comfortable. Great communication and Highly recommend.
I had a great time spent in a lovely home which was snuggled into the trees. Unfortunately, a few things happened, *but with quick resolutions from the property manager*. The pool was not heated, and unfortunately, after given instructions to fix it myself, I was unable to do so but received $250 for the inconvenience of not having the heated pool. My other concern was the number of cobwebs and spiders dangling from the light fixtures, ceiling, and, unfortunately, in the beds. A quick shake of the linen did the trick, but I would have appreciated more effort to prepare the house before our arrival. With consideration to the issues, we would still love to return again next year to enjoy the Michigan fall colors.
The entire group of nine had an absolutely wonderful vacation. Everything about the home is perfect from their wonderfully clean hot tub to all of the social rooms… We loved the multiple living rooms !
The kitchen was a perfect size and the lower level was great for movie watching.
Even though the weather did not work in our favor, we were still able to enjoy the heated pool and hot tub.
The hosts are great & the home is incredible
We really enjoyed our stay! There were 6 of us senior ladies. All went well with just a couple things we'd like to mention. One of the ladies fell going into the bathroom in the basement. The entrance has a raised tile and she scraped her toe up pretty bad and also fell on her knee into the bathroom. Shes really ok. Just that you might want to look into that. Also the tub near the 4 seasons room. The tub is pretty slippery. Just some thoughts for future seniors!
The house was beautiful and spacious with enough bathrooms for 8 women to get ready with no problems. The backyard was beautiful and super private. Perfect distance to walk to downtown.
The only downside is that you can’t hardly make any noise in the backyard because the neighbors are waiting to complain right at 10pm. We had no music on and were just having a good time talking and laughing and we had complaints. So if you’re looking to have fun in the pool/hot tub, do it before 10!

Disappointing stay
I would not recommend this property. Unfortunately, the pool house was filthy and we were not able to use it. There were 12 bags of trash by the ping pong table and the hot tub was moldy and quite disgusting. It looked like it hadn’t been clean in quite some time.
It’s a large space but the layout is quite odd and the property seemed clearly under construction with light fixtures missing in the basement as well. For the price it seemed dilapidated and not well maintained.
Beautiful inside and out. Large house we had 7 adults and two toddlers. Everyone had their own space. The pool hot tub and pool house were all wonderful. Would definitely stay again!
Really nice house, well maintained. All of us enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The location was perfect, walking distance from all the restaurants.
The only caveat was the pool water was a bit cold The owner responded very quickly to help change temperature settings.
Will recommend to stay here.
