About this property

Birky's Board Room Cottage on Butler St in Downtown Saugatuck

This quaint studio cottage is located just a few short blocks from the heart of downtown Saugatuck. While this rental is small in size it offers a comfortable and relaxing feel for one to two guests. The living/sleeping space has a queen futon couch/bed and flat screen TV. The kitchenette provides a mini fridge, microwave and two burner stove and seating area for two. Don't miss your opportunity to be just a short walk from the center of it all. Due to the historic nature of the property, and for the health and safety of owners and guests, this property is STRICTLY NO PETS.

Attention water enthusiasts! Birky's Board Room is literally just one short block from the public access to the Kalamazoo River, a great place to launch your canoe, kayak, or stand up paddle board!

Perfect location for couples getaway
We love staying here. The location is ideal, and the boarding house is cozy and nostalgic. Easy checkin, dedicated parking and right down the street from Saugataco -a delicious new addition to the city.

Getaway
We had a great stay! Perfect area downtown saugatuck. Not far from Douglas or Holland, we even spent part of a day in Grand rapids. Definitely very tight space, but good use of the space with how everything is set up.

So Cute! I'd Stay Again!
This was such a sweet little cottage! My stay was only for a couple of nights and it was just me - the size is perfect for one! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the bed wasn't the most comfortable, but it was fine for the short amount of time I was there.

Great stay
We have stayed at this cottage several times over the years and just stayed there again over the past weekend. It is perfect for a place to park your car and walk around the city. We will stay there again should our travels take us to Saugatuck.

Convenient & Relaxing
It was located in a quiet neighborhood,.. Cute shot-gun looking house. The shower would be a problem if your obese or Tall, I didn’t have an issue as I’m shorter. It’s perfectly located away from busy, but close enough to walk to busy district. I definitely will be back.

Best little rental in Saugatuck
This was our eighth time staying here, so that should tell you something. Check out my other reviews for more info. Just need to reiterate - your own dedicated parking spot!! Two new to us places just down the street include Saugataco (which has to-go six packs of beer) and Retro Boat Rentals, which has the CUTEST back patio on the K-Zoo River. Host is above and beyond accommodating and you can tell how much he loves his properties.
