About this property

Birdie Cottage: Screen Porch, Deck, Downtown, Fenced Yard, Idyllic Cottage

Birdie Cottage 

Birdie Cottage is the ideal place for a relaxing getaway with your closest friends.

Spend the evening on the spacious back deck grilling up a delicious meal with the sparkle of fairy lights just overhead and millions of stars in the distance. The outdoor dining table provides a place for not only a meal, but also a game of cards, a few beverages, and laughter while making memories. The surrounding nature, including mature trees, will make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.

Located just a 1/2 mile from the center of downtown Saugatuck, you'll never be short of things to do. Shops, restaurants, ice cream, parks, and people-watching are all just an easy stroll away. Smitten Mitten is also located across the street from the bike path which extends south into Douglas and north all the way to Grand Haven. If you're after Lake Michigan beaches and the sand between your toes, we have that too! The Saugatuck Dunes State Park, with hiking trails and beautiful beaches, is an easy 3-minute car ride or 15-minute bike. The Oval Beach and Douglas Beach are also easily accessible with just a 7-minute drive.

You will fall in love with the interior of Birdie Cottage. Enter through the huge screen porch, with relaxing chairs and outside dining, to a grand room complete with soaring ceilings. The comfortable living room furniture is perfect for kicking back and watching a movie. The equipped kitchen with stainless appliances also has a butcher block island with snack bar seating. The farmhouse sink with an oversized window overlooking the backyard provides a sweet touch of character. The unique master bedroom is a lofted space with a large queen bed. The separate den off the living room provides extra sleeping on the day bed with a trundle. The full bathroom in this home is a true treasure. With stone flooring, farmhouse-style lighting, and a claw foot bath, you'll love your time here. For a real treat, sink into a tub full of bubbles and watch the trees out the adjacent picture window.

Birdie Cottage is a magical place to get away - you'll want to return again and again!

Please Note
The bathroom has a door for privacy, but no other rooms do. Both the lofted bedroom and the den are open to the main living area. 
Heating is central throughout the house. Air conditioning is provided by a wall unit in the living room that cools the entire cottage.
There are no window coverings. Most windows have trees just outside them, but you can see the neighboring house in a few places.
The den has an Ikea Hemnes day bed with a trundle. If you use the trundle, the beds lay side by side equivalent size to a king bed.
We ask that you only use the fireplace in the winter. 
There is no cable service provided. There is a Smart TV so you can stream all your favorite apps. Please remember to log out before your departure.

Birdie Cottage getaway
This property is nicely tucked away off a street within easy walking distance to anything downtown Saugatuck. The cottage is unique with updated appliances making for a nice and cozy experience. We loved our stay! Saugatuck is a quiet little town and has shops, good coffee and food throughout Saugatuck and Douglas. We will be back soon! Thank you!

Cozy cottage with wonderful location
We had a great stay at the Smitten Mitten cottage. The house was beautifully remodeled with classic original fixtures blended in that worked so well. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our two pups. It was a 5-10min walk into the most charming town passing by gorgeous homes along the way. Oval beach was a quick drive, and just as beautiful as everyone says. We would definitely stay again if we take another trip to Saugatuck, MI!
