Perfect house
Was a perfect stay for my bestie and me. Loved the option of the four seasons porch to feel outside when it was raining. Only less than a half mile walk to downtown Saugatuck.

Wonderful Home!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home! Everything was very clean and neat. It was nicely furnished and very comfortable. The home was well stocked with anything we might need. Our favorite room was the large screened in porch, where we spent a lot of time! The neighborhood was nice and quiet and a great place to walk. We love visiting Saugatuck and look forward to staying in this home again!

Great stay!
This property was adorable. It was perfect for a girls weekend. When we showed up the driveway had not been plowed so that was a small challenge but otherwise everything else was great! The beds were so comfortable! We would definitely go back again!

Wonderful Stay
This was our fourth stay at Rise N Shine. It's an impeccable house in a great location - a short walk to the center of town, but far enough away to avoid the crowds. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect Pet Friendly Rental
This was the perfect rental for our dog and newborn. The three season room was great for relaxing and watching football with the family. Close to town as well. Only downside is the lack of sidewalks as you make your way toward downtown Saugatuck - but this is a city thing, not a rental thing! Would stay again.

Another Great Stay
We love the location of the house, easy walk into town. The porch was definitely our favorite place to hang out and our pups loved the enclosed yard. Not our first time staying here and definitely will not be our last. Cheers!

Nice porch room
We enjoyed the porch room and the fenced in backyard. We didn’t enjoy all the dog fur in the porch room and all the rugs in the house smell like dog. Also, the front door knob wouldn’t stay on.

The porch of my dreams
This was a great house for my family’s little getaway! Great location, in a quiet neighborhood, and just a short walk to downtown Saugatuck! The house was clean, nicely decorated and well-appointed with amenities. The three season porch is what really makes it though… bright and beautiful during the day, with great views for all the deer! In the evening we were able to open the windows and really enjoy the cool breeze and summer sounds and smells! Will definitely look to stay here again on future trips to Saugatuck!

LOVED IT
Actually EVERYTHING. BEAUTIFUL HOME away from home. Love the screened in porch grab your book and just sit and read. Grab a cup off coffee from the coffee stand and go out and watch the sun come up. Slept like a baby in the king size bed so comfy I slept in everyday. Walk down the street down some steps to EVERYTHING..shopping, eating....or just go and watch the boats come in. This was our 2nd time and we will definitely go again just love how you can walk to everywhere in town. BEST VACATION...you can be as busy or relaxed as you want. Highly recommend it.
