Everything was PERFECT! The parking was convenient and easy. Everything was a close walk. This little area is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!We llove it, and can't wait for the opportunity to come back.
What an adorable cottage in an amazing location. For the price point I had wished it was better appointed overall. No toiletries were available. There is a coffee maker but we were told filters weren’t available (we got lucky and someone left extras). There was no access to streaming services. We would love to return in the future during the warmer months!
Very cute house and bungalow in a great location, just a short walk from downtown Saugatuck shopping and restaurants. We loved the fenced in yard for our dog.
The cottage is adorable and exceptionally clean, with all the comforts of home. Plenty of pillows, blankets, quilts and towels, and the kitchen was easy to cook a pot of chili and bake sourdough bread for our evening at home. The other meals we walked a couple of blocks to Ida Red’s for lunch and The Butler for dinner, window-shopping along the way. Took a 10-minute ride to the Oval for a short beach jaunt. The yard is fully fenced-in to keep my senior beagle mix dog safe. We had a perfect long weekend in February- fewer people, no wait anywhere, and plenty of parking when we needed it. Some favorite establishments are closed for the season - no surprise there!
Our stay was excellent. The Butterfly Cottage is situated in a quiet spot and only a couple of blocks from everything. Also, the host Diane was very responsive when needed.

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!
The home is located just steps away from great restaurants and shopping in downtown Saugatuck. The home was very clean and our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. It is a perfect home for a family visiting the area!!
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.
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
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.
Trip with girlfriends. Great house and wonderful locatIon. We could easily walk in to town for shopping and meals. The house was clean and we had ample seating for hanging out. We had a wonderful stay. Host is very easy to work with and is responsive.
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!!
