Your host
Avalon is owned by Ben Carroll and Derrick Miller, and is located close to downtown Saugatuck, MI. We're both full-time residents, who first started coming up here from Chicago and NYC before relocating permanently a handful of years back.
Why they chose this property
This cottage was owned by Derrick's parents for the past ten years, where it served as a getaway for friends and family far and wide. Since moving from NYC, we have converted the cottage into a full-time rental and are so happy to have you here.
