About this property

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 location. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + 1. 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.

Excellent spot for enjoying town!
This was our second trip to the Roost! We highly enjoyed being able to walk to town and enjoy all that Saugatuck has to offer. A quick walk back and dinner was on our doorstep! I highly recommend staying at the Roost!!

Another great stay!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary weekend at this property last year. We had such a wonderful stay that we booked a return visit for our 34th anniversary. Our dog Charlie travels with us and we were able to enjoy hiking at the State park while he was safe and sound at the Roost. We look forward to coming back next year!

Nothing short of cozy!
We had a wonderful girls get away. Everything you need is provided in that house, and if it's not, you don't really need it. The perfect location for us to unplug, unwind and slow down, not to mention it's a short stroll to all the downtown gems! Thank you, Amy, for hosting us!

Perfect Weekend Stay!
I stayed here with my husband and our 2 month old daughter and we had the perfect stay at the Roost! The location was unbeatable, we were able to walk to town in under 10 mins and with the Southerner next door we had amazing food right there. Would definitely stay here again :)

Cute,clean little cottage
Property was cute and cozy. Clean also. Only drawback would have to be that its literally in a restaraunt parking lot. It wasnt too bad noise wise but the car traffic and a bit of noise,especially when the restaurant staff were getting off shift,was unexpected.

The cottage as exactly as expected with great indoor and outdoor space, all the amenities and very well kept. It is close to town but not right in town which was perfect. I very much enjoyed my stay and would return.

Lovely October in Saugatuck
Location was ideal - within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. And the owner was immediately responsive to a question before our arrival. I hope to stay again in the future.
