Overall we were very happy with our stay at Swan Lodge in Saugatuck. We were able to stay near family for the Christmas holiday. The lodge felt like we were part of a Hallmark Christmas movie and we loved the big windows looking onto the nature preserve. There were a couple of minor hiccups (driveway was not cleared and a little icy, and the water in the upstairs tub came out rusty), but the managers were responsive to our feedback.
The house is beautiful and set on an amazing piece of property. The kitchen is large and well equipped and a great place for the whole family to hang out with a gorgeous view of the woods. We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend in front of the fireplace and enjoyed all that Saugatuck has to offer in great restaurants and shops. Would absolutely stay here again.
We were in the area for my son’s wedding. We rented 7 houses altogether. Area is wonderful. This home was within walking distance to most of the downtown.
This was a great place to stay. It was close enough to walk into downtown Saugatuck yet we had deer to watch out of the living room windows behind the house. Stayed with two families of 4 and had a great time.
Swan Lodge was a great place for a family weekend. It was a roomy, inviting house that worked well for our family 8. The area is great, and most restaurants/shopping are within walking distance. We will definitely visit the area again and would love to come back to Swan Lodge!
We enjoyed our stay in Saugatuck. The place was very clean & in walking distance from downtown Saugatuck. Only downside was the number of beds. We had a group of 10, but some were stuck on couch or air mattress.
Great time at swan lodge - group of female friends for a quick weekend. We enjoyed the space, had morning coffee and played cards by the fire with the views of the colorful fall trees, explored the towns (saugatuck/Douglas), hiked, and ate well… and a very cute walk to town too!
Plenty of room for 3 adult couples looking to get away for a long weekend, have independent activities, and drivable access to the beach. The location of the home provides travelers with flexibility and the home is equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable relaxing trip. Property Management is also key here with very professional and clear communication.
The house was so clean and comfy, and it was nice to have a big kitchen and great room and three full baths. Loved the grill and screened in porch too! Plenty of space for ten people, but the two pull out sofas are very uncomfortable so the sleeping is really only comfortable for 6. I would suggest bringing an air mattress or two if you have 8-10 people.
Totally relaxing and enjoyable stay at Swan Lodge. Perfect location close to town, a short drive to Oval Beach, golf and Douglas. Beautiful neighborhood with cared for homes. Highly recommend Swan Lodge for any time of year getaway!
Loved the space! And the location close to town… this offers the perfect homebase for a Saugatuck get-away… friendly neighbors… fully equipped… quiet and comfortable - perfect retreat for our family! Highly recommend - we would rent again!
Great time. Downtown Saugatuck was walkable,, if you are used to walking. We drove due to injuries, but were able to walk around and enjoy the scenery!
Blizzards at Christmas caused us to wait until February to travel “back home” from Minneapolis, to celebrate with our parents, uncles and aunts. What a great place to enjoy with our adult children for dinners and gatherings with local family and exchanging gifts with a blazing fire in the fireplace. A couple of initial issues were taken care of by Madison, straightaway. The home is spacious but cozy and was perfect for our visit with many areas for some “me time.” Even in the off-season, walks to downtown for morning coffee or to visit shops and restaurants were fun and enjoyable. Great place to stay in West Michigan any time of year. Thanks!
