Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!

Green Gables is located in the picturesque town of Douglas. Sister town to Saugatuck, Douglas is a laid-back—yet high-class—travel destination, known for its world-renowned art galleries. Douglas is quiet enough to sit outside and hear nothing but the breeze and the birds chirping, yet vibrant enough to offer food, drinks, and entertainment that would suit a city many times its size. Locally owned businesses line the streets of downtown, and if you manage to exhaust Downtown Douglas—which you may not—Downtown Saugatuck is less than five minutes away by car or easily available on foot or by bicycle.

After you’ve sampled the local food and drinks—many grown right here in this top-producing agricultural region—and shopped at our many independent boutiques, head out into Pure Michigan natural beauty at our gorgeous beaches, trails, and state parks. Nearby Oval Beach was ranked by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top 25 best shorelines on the entire planet! Rent a watercraft or take a dip in sparkling, immaculate Lake Michigan, then climb our mountainous sand dunes to shady wooded trails.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your safety and security are our top priority. Keyless Entry allows for a flexible check-in. You will be provided with a customized code prior to your arrival.
Welcome to Green Gables, where high-end luxury detailing meets family-friendly functionality. This large, yet cozy space comfortably fits 12 of your nearest and dearest! You will compromise nothing with this home featuring both indoor and outdoor beauty, both charm and utility, both historic presence and modern updates. Gleaming hardwood floors, loads of space, tasteful updates, and endless opportunities for FUN!

As you enter the main level you will find flowing entertaining and living spaces for chatting around the fireplace, cooking and dining at home, and spreading out onto the wide porch and beautiful backyard oasis. Grab a cup of coffee or tea from our locally sourced beverage bar and choose from a plethora of cozy seating choices! The main floor is also home to a queen pullout room, queen bedroom, two full baths, and separate full-scale laundry facilities. Head upstairs to find one king bedroom, one queen suite with workstation, a spacious bedroom with both a king bed and two twins, and a large bathroom. All bedrooms are stocked with gorgeous Parachute linens and all baths feature luxury bath products.

The parklike outdoor space offers vacation joy for every age. Little ones will spend hours playing in the adorable custom playhouse, while adults enjoy a local Michigan beer or wine on the expansive and shaded patio. Get a pickup game of basketball going and pluck some herbs from the garden for dinner or cocktails. Grilling is a delight at this property! The whole group can end their day around the large stone firepit with ample space for the whole crew.

Perfect Weekend Escape!
We loved our weekend stay at the Green Gables! The house was very clean, expertly designed and was filled with incredible attention to details from the fancy hand soap (and other bathroom toiletries) that smelled great to the tea/coffee station the house was perfect and the team was very responsive and receptive to our requests. Look forward to our next visit!

Spectacular house on the Michigan lake shore
This was our second stay at an Art Coast Property because the first one was so special. Green Gables is a charming little house that is consistent with Art Coast Properties' very stylish interior design. We stayed for two weeks because we loved it so much. It's a very short walk from a spectacular beach and there are deer everywhere. The house seems to have just been remodeled and is in great shape. Amazingly comfy beds. And the deck is so nice for sitting out and looking out onto the idyllic street. So much amazing stuff to discover nearby. Only imperfection for us was the compartmentalized layout of the house, instead of an open plan. But others may like this better. Hope to return soon!
