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.

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!

NYE Getaway

The house was great, the host was super helpful in communicating info and giving us suggestions on things to do. The hot tub was awesome to enjoy and the fire pit was super spacious for our group. The kids loved roasting marshmallows. We had a group of 12, including an infant, small kids and adults. Everyone had a blast.

Great House, Great Location

We visited Saugatuck to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. The house was perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable, and charming. We enjoyed the quick walk to downtown and the convenience of a great backyard, nearby beaches, mini-golf and dune buggy rides. Owners were very nice to work with. Would absolutely stay again!

Wonderful experience!

Beautiful property, convenient location, host was great at communicating & lots of special treats - coffee, S’mores, plenty of linens & beds for our group of 9. Could not have had a better time! Thought we’d rent bikes, but everywhere was a 10 minute walk or less (except the beach, but that was a 10 minute easy drive). Cannot recommend highly enough.

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!

Family Vacation

This carriage house is so beautiful inside and outside. We had so much fun. Went to the beach, listen to a concert in the park went on the Donut Boat. Hiked a little which was close to the house. Had dinner at The Southerner-just across the street from the house. Best fried chicken and tasty biscuits.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Lankford

Host profile image
My husband and I stayed in Saugatuk every Labor Day weekend at the Rosemont Inn in Douglas, Michigan and fell in love with the area. I finally talked him into buying a property since we visited so often. We just fell in love with the peacefulness and relaxation when we would pull up to our new home. Since we cannot always stay at our home away from home, we decided we wanted to share it with you. Please come and visit Saugatuk and see what we mean.

Why they chose this property

We provide an open concept for family gatherings inside for all seasons. Pet friendly with a large backyard for your dog to freely romp around and explore. Room enough for family games of Cornhole and an evening campfire for new memories to take home with you. Downtown Saugatuk is within a few minutes of walking distance. The best Southern Restaurant is right across the street.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located within miles of neighboring towns for you to explore such as Douglas, Holland, South Haven, Grand Haven, and Fennville.
