Most Memorable Christmas

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! What a beautiful and cozy home with all the things we needed! We played games, watched movies, sat by the fire, enjoyed the hot tub, and had a yummy dinner right across the street! We traveled into town to shop and even to the neighboring town of Holland. Such a lovely place to visit! Thankful we found this gem!

Family Wedding

What a perfect place to spend with family for wedding celebrations. The location was ideal - just a short walk to shops and restaurants - and across the street from some of the best fried chicken we've ever had! Jean was an amazing host - very quick and attentive and kind with responses. The home is very open, comfortable, clean and roomy. The outdoor area/patio was the ideal size for family gatherings/BBQs/campfire/etc. - exactly as the pictures portrayed. Definitely would stay again and recommend.

Wonderful, relaxing getaway

Our family, including our two daughters and puppy, had a peaceful and fun spring getaway here! The house is lovely, spacious and clean with lots of spots to spread out and relax. The kitchen was well stocked, and we enjoyed cooking and eating together at the big farmhouse table. The hot tub was a huge hit, as was the nearby nature preserve for lovely walks. The owner was super responsive and made everything so easy, and the special touches like the coffee/hot chocolate bar were really delightful. Hope to go back again!

Carriage House was wonderful!

We had our entire family stay at the carriage house, and we had more than enough beds and rooms to accommodate everyone. We loved the backyard with the hot tub and the fire pit. It was also big enough for my kids to throw the football around! The front porch was a wonderful spot to drink our morning coffee! We walked into town at least once a day/night, and it was a very easy walk! The location was perfect to downtown, Oval Beach, the golf courses nearby, the mini golf course, and Saugatuck Dune Rides!

Perfect Saugatuck Home

My husband, dog and I all enjoyed this beautiful home. The backyard is an oasis and you are very close to the downtown area. And right across the street from The Southerner (recommend!). Communication with Jeannie was great. She really cares about your stay! I really loved sitting on the front porch and reading. Or inside in front of the fireplace. Very relaxing!

Great Place for Ladies Weekend!

My friends and I spent the weekend at the Carriage House and it worked out great! The owner was great with her communication, the house had plenty of bedrooms, and there were a lot of extra touches to make our stay even more comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck for drinks and laughs and there was plenty of parking spaces for 4 cars. The location was very close to downtown Saugatuck, but we still drove due the cold and packages. :)

Girls week

This was our third year in this wonderful house and it was another perfect vacation. This house has so many options for sleeping and being together; it is located within walking distance to Saugatuck (our favorite place in Michigan!) and Lake Michigan so there is no shortage of things to do. This house is perfect for families and friends and the owners just couldn't be more welcoming and helpful; they have been lovely to deal with. Anyone who stays will be happy here and leave with the most amazing memories. Don't hesitate!

Stay June 4-11, 2023

All was well. Jeanne was very good with communicating. I believe they were full and single bed. A little too small for two people. Me and my husband slept separate. If you have a bad back, you may want to bring something firm for your bed. Overall it was fine for just my family.
