About this property

Butterfly Cottage - Unique Cottage located in Historic Downtown Saugatuck

Butterfly Cottage is a truly unique cottage located in the Historic district of Saugatuck. Casual cottage styling mixed with colorful spaces, this cottage makes for a comfortable stay in Saugatuck. This quaint cottage will accommodate 8 or 9 people comfortably.

The main house has two bedrooms; one with a queen sized bed and the other with a full. The bungalow, just steps away in the backyard, serves as the third bedroom and has heat and air conditioning. The bungalow has a queen size bed and also bunk beds. The bungalow has a full bath that was added in 2011. As an added convenience, there are no steps getting into the bungalow.

Located in the heart of the village district, plan on walking to all the in-town locations. The river is just a few hundred feet away with shops, restaurants and parks located within a 3-10 minute walk. If you are familiar with Saugatuck, Butterfly cottage is a stone's throw from the public boat launch, Gleason's market and Ida Reds.

We are happy to be one of the few places to welcome well mannered pets in our cottage. An added plus, the back yard is fully fenced. Please note that if you plan on bringing your pet, you need to include them in your booking. When you are inputting the number of guests, you will want to make sure you add "Yes" to the pet question as well as to include the pet information in the booking. There is an extra cleaning fee of $100 if you let me know in your booking. If there is any evidence of a pet being at the home without you including this in the booking, there will be a charge of $500.

Off street parking for 1 larger vehicle or 2 smaller ones. There is also additional parking on the street right in front of the home when available.

Lovely cottage with an additional sleeping area in another bldg directly in back. Lots of sleeping space. Also, a large outdoor table with lots of seating. Perfect to spend time outdoors. Both tub and shower were quite slippery, no grab bars. Maybe not perfect for seniors.

Excellent experience and great location to downtown. The house was clean and had a very nice and charming vibe. Kitchen is well appointed.Small issues: There was no hand soap at the sinks and only one tablet for the dishwasher. No toiletries are offered. The fireplace heater was not working in the bungalow. It may have been batteries in the remote. Would stay again.

Love the Butterfly Cottage!

This was my second time staying at the Butterfly Cottage, and it’s such a special place. It is perfect for a girls trip - we had the best time hanging out at the house, and it’s also a very short walk right into town for coffee, shopping, and dining! I highly recommend the Butterfly Cottage and can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful family week at the Butterfly Cottage! It was perfect for me, my husband, our 10 week old daughter, my parents, and our pup. My parents stayed in the bungalow, allowing everyone to have their own space. Our dog loved the fenced in yard. We had everything we needed in the house, which is cozy and quiet. Saugatuck is beautiful and laid back, and we were able to walk everywhere - breakfast, coffee, dinner, the waterfront. The only time we needed our car was to go to the grocery. Such a relaxing vacation, we will be back!!

Cozy Cottage close to everything

This place was very nice - convenient to downtown - it is an older property, hard wood floors, so plan on hearing everyone early in the morning. The location was very quiet and convenient and easy to get around the town. The small casita does have a few issues - needs to be fumigated for ants, and other little bugs, and the toilet runs non - stop - but other than that the place is very relaxing

Butterfly Cottage is a Cutie!

We had a great vacation at butterfly cottage. It is decorated so cute and was very comfortable. The location is excellent. The drive to Oval Beach was short. There is a lot to see and do in Saugatuck. We went on the paddle boat, went to the beach most every day, and dined at many good restaurants. We were able to walk to town every night, which we enjoyed. I would say there are two major things that need improvement. The floors of the cottage weren’t very clean, (there was a big hairball behind the door in one of the bedrooms) and the floorboards need a good cleaning too.Landscaping: the yard was mowed, however, around the house and in the backyard, the shrubbery was overgrown and the planting areas were very weedy. In the backyard there is a nice table we sat at each evening. It is such a lovely area, but not kept up at all.

The property was clean and had all of the essentials.Theer was a problem with internet & tv which was beyond control of the host. However, she went above and beyond to try to solve the issue.Only recommendation is for a handrail on the basement stairs.
