The Roost at The Southerner

Adorable pet-friendly cottage within walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and all it has to offer. Main room offers a gas fireplace, TV and full kitchen with a pull-out loveseat and space to dine. Queen bed in bedroom, ensuite bath with shower and laundry room. A/C, ceiling fans & shady setting. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + pets. Be sure to take advantage of the popular restaurant The Southerner right next door. The restaurant can be quite busy in the summer so there's fantastic people watching from your private patio but it ends service at 10pm so no late night noise or commotion.

Great stay and location. Perfect size for couple getting away. 3rd trip out to Saugatuck, and easily our fave place stayed. Directly next to the Southerner, still very quiet. We’d pick it again.

The most perfect Saugatuck stay!

As frequent travelers and having been to Saugatuck several times, not only was this our favorite Saugatuck stay yet, but one of our absolute favorite vacation rentals overall! The house was immaculate, so cozy, quiet and comfortable. The proximity to everything was wonderful-- walkable to everything downtown, yet removed enough from all of the crowds and hustle and bustle. Amy was a wonderful, communicative host and the house had everything we could possibly need and more! We cannot wait to come back and stay again-- it will be our go-to Saugatuck rental from now on!

Perfect cottage in Saugatuck

We had the best time at The Roost. Its a cute little cottage but packed with everything you could possibly want or need. Its even cuter in person with great artwork and cute little touches everywhere. Walking distance to town and a stone's throw from a fantastic restaurant. If you're planning a trip to Saugatuck, BOOK THIS PLACE! You wont be disappointed!

Such a cute cozy cottage. Everything is tastefully updated and even has a hidden dishwasher. It was super clean and well-stocked. The patio is a lovely place to read and relax. The location is convenient to town with The Southerner just steps away.
