About this property

Best Place in Town! Summer Filling Fast! Spectacular Fall Getaways Are The Best!

Nicest location in town! Beautiful historic Italianate home built in 1868. The Pond Winslow homestead has been awarded the prestigious Heritage Preservation award for Honor and Respect by the Saugatuck Douglas Historical Society. Located on the hill over looking the town square. The home has been beautifully updated, including kitchen, newly remodeled bathrooms and restored old growth hardwood flooring through out. First floor includes, dine in kitchen with laundry, living room, dining room, half bath, bed room (queen bed) with en-suite full bath, and glassed/screened in porch. Second floor has master bedroom (queen bed) with private sun porch, 3rd bedroom handcrafted bunk-bed (full on bottom, single on top) and full bath. Kitchen is fully out fitted Keurig pod or drip coffee (get some fresh roasted beans from Uncommon Grounds, just two blocks) - just bring your favorite food and beverages. Bedrooms and baths are complete with linens. Beautiful flag stone patio with large built in fire pit, lots of grilling accessories. 'Up North' feel in town! In laws want to come too? Ask about the additional cottage with room for two!


Quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mature trees and tranquil gardens, yet just a few steps from the thriving downtown with all of its associated activities: Shops, Antique Stores, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Bars and Coffee shops. Utilize the chain ferry and walk or ride your bike to the beautiful Oval Beach. Easy drive to the many local golf courses, Fenn-Valley Vineyards, Crane's Apple Orchard, Dune Schooners and other area attractions.

I absolutely loved that this felt like my "home" away from home. It is an ideal location within walking distance for shopping/dining and watching the Lions game at a local bar. The home was clean and the kitchen was well equipped with all the essentials needed for our few days there. We had a question for our host and I was happy he answered my call on the first ring. We would define stay here again!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home! Everything was perfect, down to the smallest detail. The kitchen was very well stocked and we could have easily prepared a Thanksgiving feast and the beds were so comfortable. This home is filled with interesting art work and we felt the warmth and love that this home must provide for the owner. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for such a delightful accommodation.

Our stay at the Pond-Winslow house in Saugatuck couldn't have been more perfect. The house is gorgeous, very well maintained, and full of all the creature-comforts anyone could want. The proximity to shops, coffee, beaches, and sites along the water made it even more enjoyable. We even found and toured the Felt Estate. If you get a chance to visit, it's not to be missed. We're already looking forward to our next stay.

Such a lovely stay in this charming house filled with wonderful artwork in delightful Saugatuck! The shortcut path to town was a fun surprise! Would definitely stay again! Only recommendations for improvement would be upgrading to 2-ply toilet paper, adding a mechanism so the screen door off the kitchen doesn’t slam, and reducing the temperature on the water heater so that the hot water doesn’t feel nearly scalding. Also, the water dispenser on the refrigerator is terribly slow. Thank you for sharing your dear home with us!

Amazing property! You’re in the heart of downtown Saugatuck and walking distance to everything! We loved uncommon grounds for coffee! The house was plenty of room for myself, my husband, my sister and her partner! Everything was neat, easy to navigate and charming! Will be coming back!!

Great stay in Saugie. Close to the park. Great location overall. The house was beautifully aged like a fine wine. We lived everything about the house including the fire pit.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth A. Morris

Host profile image
Hello, Happy Family Picture---traveling somewhere????. Graduated from Saugtuck High School in 1981. Family has owned the house since 1978. Bought the house from my mom 25 years back or so, planned to live there, but life got in the way!!! Get back when we can, our loss is your gain!

Why they chose this property

It is the house I grew up in, would never let it go... come visit and you will see why!!!

What makes this property unique

Wonderful old house that overlooks downtown, at least when the leaves are not on the tress. Very enjoyable as you can walk to everything in town, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Park the car at the house, and forget about it for the rest of your stay. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all up to date and in good clean condition. Additionally, local management and over site of the property ensures none of the unforeseen problems that can result from long distance newbie owners that may not be fully aware of the day to day situation.
