About this property

Best Place in Town! Summer Filling Fast! Spectacular Fall Getaways Are The Best!

Nicest location in town! Beautiful historic Italianate home built in 1868. The Pond Winslow homestead has been awarded the prestigious Heritage Preservation award for Honor and Respect by the Saugatuck Douglas Historical Society. Located on the hill over looking the town square. The home has been beautifully updated, including kitchen, newly remodeled bathrooms and restored old growth hardwood flooring through out. First floor includes, dine in kitchen with laundry, living room, dining room, half bath, bed room (queen bed) with en-suite full bath, and glassed/screened in porch. Second floor has master bedroom (queen bed) with private sun porch, 3rd bedroom handcrafted bunk-bed (full on bottom, single on top) and full bath. Kitchen is fully out fitted Keurig pod or drip coffee (get some fresh roasted beans from Uncommon Grounds, just two blocks) - just bring your favorite food and beverages. Bedrooms and baths are complete with linens. Beautiful flag stone patio with large built in fire pit, lots of grilling accessories. 'Up North' feel in town! In laws want to come too? Ask about the additional cottage with room for two!


Quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mature trees and tranquil gardens, yet just a few steps from the thriving downtown with all of its associated activities: Shops, Antique Stores, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Bars and Coffee shops. Utilize the chain ferry and walk or ride your bike to the beautiful Oval Beach. Easy drive to the many local golf courses, Fenn-Valley Vineyards, Crane's Apple Orchard, Dune Schooners and other area attractions.

Girls Weekend

Always a great time at the the Winslow house! Enough room to prepare a wonderful meal for the 5 of us and we also had good weather...enough to take advantage of the firepit in the yard. The warm spring breeze in three season room was perfect for playing games and we were just steps from shopping and restaurants. Ken is the best host. Easy to reach and responds quickly. We are on our 4th year and counting! - Mary

Clean, Cozy, and Convenient!

We stayed at this adorable rental for a bachelorette weekend in Saugatuck, and it was absolutely perfect! The space was clean, decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were cozy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the little touches throughout the home made it feel so welcoming.Saugatuck itself is the cutest town—full of charming shops, great restaurants, and a laid-back, friendly vibe. We loved strolling through downtown, checking out the boutiques, and enjoying the waterfront views. It was the perfect setting for a fun and relaxing girls’ getaway!Our host was was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great soace

We so enjoyed our stay at this historic home. It was within walking distance of downtown. Our host even had someone shovel the sidewalks, driveway and brush the snow off our cars before we checked out- classy touch. The kitchen was well equipped . Felt like home; very comfortable. We’ll be back.

Great Winter Getaway

Planned a trip for my family post-Christmas to just get away, and had a GREAT time. This location is perfect -- it's close enough to walk to ALL the shops and restaurants downtown ( 5 min walk), but far enough that there's not the noise or the street traffic. The house itself was charming and we LOVED the Bose sound system. We appreciated the little touches, like the board games in the closet, well stocked coffee supplies, etc. Will definitely be back!

Saugatuck Weekend

My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend in December and absolutely loved it! The house is gorgeous, very clean, and a great place to hangout. The bedrooms and living room is cozy, and the kitchen was a great space for making meals. It’s conveniently located downtown, so you can walk to the shops and restaurants. Parking also was a breeze!

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth A. Morris

Host profile image
Hello, Happy Family Picture---traveling somewhere????. Graduated from Saugtuck High School in 1981. Family has owned the house since 1978. Bought the house from my mom 25 years back or so, planned to live there, but life got in the way!!! Get back when we can, our loss is your gain!

Why they chose this property

It is the house I grew up in, would never let it go... come visit and you will see why!!!

What makes this property unique

Wonderful old house that overlooks downtown, at least when the leaves are not on the tress. Very enjoyable as you can walk to everything in town, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Park the car at the house, and forget about it for the rest of your stay. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all up to date and in good clean condition. Additionally, local management and over site of the property ensures none of the unforeseen problems that can result from long distance newbie owners that may not be fully aware of the day to day situation.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
