Nice location, but house is not up to date; bathrooms are difficult to use; and very weak Wi-Fi

Let me start with the positive to say that the location is convenient (easy to get to and from town) and the view is beautiful in the back. We enjoyed having our coffee and watching the boats go by every morning. The living room is spacious, which is nice for hanging out and chatting with friends. Sadly, the house requires updates throughout that would have allowed for a more pleasant stay. The Wi-Fi barely worked and we were not able to watch TV as a result. The bathrooms are outdated in design and therefore, not very practical for use. One of the showers was so small that you could barely move in it to clean yourself. The sinks in all 3 bathrooms are very low (especially in the upstairs one) and difficult to use. The two bedrooms upstairs are very small (basically only big enough for a bed), which is something to consider if traveling with adults. Furthermore, there are no A/C vents upstairs, only fans. The house has potential and offers some character. However, for what we paid, it was not a comfortable stay.

The most magical place

We loved everything about Tonawanda and can't wait to return again soon! I rented this rustic spot for a girls getaway, and it was just perfect and incredibly unique. The basics: the house was clean, check in and out was easy, our property manager was very responsive, the rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was spacious enough for us to spread out and hang out during meals, and the location was perfect. We were tucked away in a private location but an easy driving distance to Downtown Saugatuck & Douglas! What makes this place special: the stunning location of the house nestled up with the trees, the unique design elements throughout the house and all of the rooms, the private dock in the backyard where you can see the boats go by, and the magical lighting. Can we talk about the lighting & magical energy in this house?! The floor to ceiling windows poured in with sunlight all day, and created the most beautiful atmosphere for me and my ladies to relax in. I miss it already. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Saugatuck!

Unique with some caveats.

Realizing it is an old property there are a few detail items to address. The front door is nearly impossible to open, as it needs to be planed down so it will fit properly. The screen door closer going on to the deck needs a new, or adjusted closer, as it literally slams back on you when you push it open with serious intensity. In addition, there is virtually no view of the river, which is why we chose it. It is river bend , but there’s no open view to enjoy it. Trimming trees might be a challenge, but should be done. Overall, we enjoyed it, but want to make suggestions that would enhance future visitors.
