River Groovy

What a great spot for our rare vacation…… close to lots of shops and restaurants but also slightly secluded and peaceful. The house was very clean and comfy- would highly recommend!

This home was perfect for our needs. While the main living area is open-plan, the bedrooms and porches offer cozy spaces, so you have the best of both worlds. The kitchen was well appointed, and all of the furnishings were nice. The location was just right for us. We felt close to everything but still in a quiet area. Communication with Rob was terrific.

We so enjoyed our vacation! The location was perfect, we liked being in a wooded area and it was a short ride to the shops. The house was immaculate. The furniture was comfortable and the beds were heavenly. The kitchen was fully stocked. It was nice to park in a garage, too. Doesn't get any better than this!

Our happy place

We have stayed in this pristine property many times and can’t wait to return. Rob’s house is exquisite—beautifully decorated in mid century modern decor and still so cozy! You can’t beat the location and will be inspired to take many walks down to the water or through the woods and adjacent neighborhoods. The hot tub is incredible! Love this restorative place.

Wonderful house and excellent location. It has everything you need. The host, Rob, is great to work with.We walked to Oval Beach and Mount Baldhead. We took the Star of Saugatuck boat tour. We did the Dune Buggy ride which was fabulous. We also went to Holland and Fennville which are quick trips.I highly recommend this property!Nancy May, 2025

Cozy retreat

This is our 3rd time back at River Groove and we can't say enough about this special property. Perfect location, whether it's sunny July or cozy December! We holed up in front of the fireplace and dipped in the hot tub, watching the snow come down. Perfect location and decor. Rob is an amazing host with exquisite taste and puts care into every little detail!

Everything about this beautiful property was perfection. It was spotless and well-appointed. The decor was perfect. The location was close to downtown but afforded privacy too. We would stay here again and fell in love with Saugatuck. Rob the host was so kind and provided information on restaurants and things to do. He was even kind enough to call me when I had a question. Very pleasant, as was Jayne his property manager. They were both very accommodating. Highly recommend staying at this property. We hope to return soon!
