Sweet Cottage

We had a great weekend with friends at Little Stuga. The cottage is charming…the outdoor space was incredible. This would be a perfect location when the chain ferry is operating. One of the mattresses really needs replacing. All in all, would stay again.

Hidden Gem

This was by far one of our top favorite properties to stay while in the Douglas/Saugatuck area. The cottage was exactly as described but even better in person. Being tucked away in the woods, surrounded by so much wildlife, this cottage was just magical! Every little detail had been given much thought from the decor to the layout and our favorite, the outdoor space. Thank you for making my birthday a day to remember!

This property was very clean, cozy and well equipped to meet all of our needs during our stay. Its location is close to town, however is very private due to the trees and woods around the property. The deer visited daily.

Charming Cottage

We were looking for a place that felt like “vacation” and this place was lovely. The living room was cozy and the outdoor spaces relaxing. The porch was our favorite spot. We saw deer and wild turkey. We loved being close to Oval beach and we were able to catch the sunset. I would stay here again!
