This Is It: Peaceful Woodland Escape w/ Hot Tub & Game Room, Near Wineries
This Is It
Tucked away on peaceful acreage just south of Saugatuck and Douglas, this inviting one-level retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, nature, and convenience. Surrounded by trees, open land, and frequent wildlife sightings, the setting feels calm and secluded while remaining close to Southwest Michigan's most loved towns and beaches.
The outdoor spaces are truly the heart of this home. Step onto the spacious patio and settle in for alfresco meals cooked on the propane grill, with nature as your backdrop. Just beyond the patio, the private hot tub—sheltered by a gazebo and available year-round—invites you to fully unwind in any season. It's the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach or exploring nearby towns, whether you're enjoying a warm summer evening surrounded by nature or soaking on a crisp winter night as the snow quietly falls. Nearby, a fire pit encircled by Adirondack chairs creates a natural gathering spot for stories, laughter, and s'mores. The expansive yard stretches toward a serene pond at the tree line, offering space to roam, play, or simply pause and take it all in.
For laid-back lounging, the screened porch is a favorite retreat. Sink into the wicker seating, feel the breeze drift through, and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the surrounding landscape.
One of the standout features of the property is the garage-turned-game room—an all-seasons hub for fun and friendly competition. This space includes a Smart TV lounge, pop-a-shot basketball, pool table, foosball, and more. Open the garage door in warmer months to let in fresh air, or cozy up inside during cooler weather for game nights and sports viewing. It's a space that naturally brings everyone together.
Inside, the home is bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. The spacious living room is filled with natural light from large windows and French doors that open to the patio. Multiple seating areas, a seasonal fireplace, Smart TV, and sofa sleeper make it easy to relax and unwind together.
The fully equipped kitchen is ideal for everything from casual breakfasts to holiday meals, featuring modern appliances, a gas stove, double oven, and plenty of counter space. The adjacent dining area seats eight and includes a charming window seat—perfect for lingering conversations over coffee or dessert.
The primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a king bed, Smart TV, and private deck with a lounger—an ideal spot for quiet mornings. The en-suite bathroom adds a spa-like touch with a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and spacious vanity. Two additional guest bedrooms with queen beds provide comfortable accommodations, along with a conveniently located full bathroom. A laundry room breezeway with a washer and dryer adds everyday ease.
While the property feels wonderfully removed, it's ideally located for exploring the best of the area. The sugar-sand beaches of Lake Michigan are just a short drive away, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and sunset walks. Nearby towns, including Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, Glenn, and South Haven, offer art galleries, boutique shopping, wineries, breweries, farm stands, theaters, and a wide range of dining options—all close enough for easy outings, yet far enough to return to peace and quiet at the end of the day.
This home is designed for creating memorable moments—whether you're soaking in the hot tub, spotting deer in the yard, gathering around the fire, or heading out to explore nearby Lake Michigan beaches and vibrant lakeshore towns. Peaceful, private, and exceptionally well-located, it's a place you'll want to return to again and again.

Great stay from beginning to end. House was amazing and the service from mill pond realty was incredible. Had two small issues during the stay that were completely out of their control and they were handled within a few hours. Will definitely come back.
House was quaint but full of amenities. Kids really enjoyed the garage/game room! Hot tub was a wonderful perk. We hung out here about as much as we explored Saugatuck!
Easy Check-in. House was Clean & spacious. Property is beautiful, loved watching the deers, & other animals. Game room was a huge hit for the kids & us! We spent a lot of time in there. Wish it had a AC but it did have a heater for winter. Water temps for baths, and showers was set too low in my opinion. Couldn’t fill the spa tub all the up, water got cold before I could turn jets on. Couldn’t use hot tub either cause there was an active wasp nest in the gazebo but Millpond said they would deal with it for the next guest. (Hot tub looked clean though) Overall, I wouldstay again.

Thank you for your 5-star review of This Is It! We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious home, game room, and the beautiful property with deer and wildlife. We appreciate your notes as well — our team has already addressed the wasp nest near the hot tub, and we’ll take a closer look at the water temperature setting. We’re happy you had a great stay overall and would love to welcome you back again.
Stayed at “This Is It” for a quick 3 day weekend for my son’s swim meet in Holland. Couldn’t arrive until late in the evening and the management company made the check in process nice and easy. The property itself is fantastic. Plenty of room for the family to sprawl out and you can tell it’s very well taken care of. Everything was clean and property looked exactly like the pictures. Management company was very easy to work with and they were very responsive with any questions or concerns. If you are looking for a property close to everything but with privacy…..”This Is It”
Thank you for staying with us at This Is It! We’re glad you enjoyed your time and appreciate your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
