Nana's 60th Birthday
We have a wonderful weekend with my wife (Nana) our 4 adult children, spouses and 6 grand children. The house was wonderful with a great big kitchen and living area for the little ones to enjoy. It was an easy walk to downtown Saugatuck. Alex was terrific with the details and check in and out was easy. Highly recommend it for big groups. We hope to come back with friends.

Work Retreat
We enjoyed this property for our work retreat. It was a cozy house with plenty of rooms and bathrooms for our group and a great cozy living room and kitchen area for all of our discussions and planning. We loved the restaurants in town and had beautiful weather for March. The host was great at keeping in touch and making sure we had no questions. Everything was just as expected and we had no complaints! Thanks!!

Best house ever
I had people from 3 different households and an age range of 7-64. This house was perfect! Plenty of space. Kitchen had great supplies. Comfortable walk to downtown. Best part was the “secret” room above the garage that gave the grumpy bachelor a place to hide from the kids It was a lovely en-suite. Great house!

Perfect place for a large group
We had 13 people together and still had room to spare. The house is laid out perfectly for a large group. We could all eat and play games together around the large table or break off into separate groups indoors or out. A quick walk to town and a short drive to the beach. The owner was helpful and responsive. We would love to return.

Fun for all
We traveled to Saugatuck with extended family, which included 4 families and kids aged 4-9. There was more than enough space and kitchen had all the right accessories for meals at home. We loved being so close to the tennis courts and baseball field and found the short walk to town manageable for all. Overall, this was an exceptional visit.

About the host

Hosted by Saugatuck Modern Farmhouse OwnerRez Inquiry email

Host profile image
We are a family of five, with three kids. We live in in Chicago, and we have been coming to Saugatuck/Douglas multiple times a year for well over a decade. SAUGATUCK MODERN FARMHOUSE was purchased as our second home, and we still use it as such. We enjoyed the area and the hosting experience and recently decided to buy an additional home, DOUGLAS MODERN VILLA. Our parents like to come along and also we like to spend time with other families - these houses are a great way to spend time with multi-generational families, groups of friends, or a couples getaway. We really enjoy what Saugatuck can offer year-around. In the summer, our favorites activities are Oval Beach, walking around downtown, getting coffee at Uncommon Grounds, ice cream at Kilwin’s, and food from Phil’s, Wicks Park, and Everyday People Cafe. In the winter we tend to stay in more, cook big family meals, still enjoy the downtown areas and the many businesses that stay open year around for the locals.
On his free time, Alex is an ambitious home cook, and as a result, the kitchens are equipped with everything you would need to put together a great meal. From grilling, sous vide, cast iron and dutch ovens, baking pans, food processors, blenders your needs should be covered. Also there is sufficient dishware, silverware and serving dishes to put a meal together for the full capacity of the house with room to spare.

Why they chose this property

One of the main questions we had was if we wanted to be in town or on the beach. When we came to Saugatuck, we found that we would go to the beach 3-5 times a week, depending on weather, but we would come into town multiple times a day, so the decision was easy. The property is in a great location - quiet neighborhood yet a short walk to town. Also we wanted a place that could fit 2-3 families with multiple kids each, plus one or two sets of parents, or a nanny.

What makes this property unique

SAUGATUCK MODERN FARMHOUSE is steps to downtown Saugatuck. Features 4,500 SF of space, and is much newer than the vast majority of homes available in Saugatuck. SAUGATUCK MODERN FARMHOUSE is configured with multiple private spaces / desks and premium internet service for those folks that can't stay unplugged from work for too long.
