House was amazing. Came in for a weekend wedding. Was perfect. House was extremely clean and host got back ASAP whenever I reached out. Would rent this house again !!!
This was the perfect house for our family vacation. There were six of us and we did not have one complaint about this house. It is delightful, perfectly located, and has a great front porch for your morning coffee!
Our family had a great time at this home. Not only was it in a great neighborhood that was very walkable to everything, but it may have been one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in. We greatly enjoyed our time, and will be back.
We loved staying here! This is a quiet property, but within walking distance of town. Perfect for our girlfriend getaway. Would highly recommend in every way!

Clean and wonderful residence for families.
Just as pictured. Close to restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend!
Another perfect summer vacation in the perfect spot! This was our fourth or fifth stay at this house and it was great - as always! Angela has always been attentive and easy to work with...can't ask for more!
Our 3 night stay at Hansel and Gretel was fabulous. The house had everything we needed to comfortably sleep our group of 5, cook a few meals and have space to get ready for a wedding. It was perfect having a bathroom for every bedroom. The easy walk to town was about 5-10 minutes and the Arts Center literally just down the steps. We can't think of one thing we needed that wasn't already there. The home is cozy, comfortable and inviting. The host was communicative and provided the perfect place for us to gather and enjoy a special weekend in Saugatuck.
I stayed here with a small group of girlfriends for a long weekend getaway. The home was a clean, welcoming space with all of the amenities to make guests comfortable. An easy walk to downtown Saugatuck shopping and dining. Quiet neighborhood. The owner was very kind and prompt to answer any questions we had. I wish we could’ve stayed longer, but we will be back again for another stay next year!
We had a wonderful time with family in Saugatuck and the house was set up great for everyone including one infant. It was a short walk into town and there was even a playground on the way for our little one to run around. The house is a quick drive to the beach as well. We would highly recommend this house for your family trip!
Wow, it's a story book setting and the amenities are fantastic! Everyone has their own private bathroom and the communal spaces are just perfect inside and out. Great location, wonderfully clean and well maintained with easy and responsive communication. Do not hesitate to book this special property!
The house was perfect for our girls weekend. It was tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still just a short walking distance to downtown. The cottage is beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. The beds were also very comfortable. We loved that each bedroom had its own ensuite bathroom. We will definitely be back!
I cannot express enough how fabulous the Hansel & Gretel cottage is! Every room is well appointed. It’s as comfy as it gets! I’ve rented for a number of years and this is my favorite place by far! The location is wonderful and walking distance to shops and restaurants. We will be back next year!! 🙌😊
We had a delightful stay at Hansel and Gretel! Location was unbeatable with its very quiet neighborhood and easy walking distance to downtown. The home was very comfortable and immaculate.
The host Angela is a delight and quick to respond to any questions.
We will absolutely stay at Hansel and Gretel again! Thank you Angela for sharing your wonderful home!
The Hansel and Gretel Cottage was clean, cozy and very well appointed. The kitchen and 3 1/2 bathrooms were beautifully decorated with modern functionality and cottage chic charm. The location was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood just above the downtown area. The front porch and backyard had multiple seating areas to relax in. It was great to have a full laundry room on the lower level. We will definitely book this cottage again!
Awesome home that was perfect for my siblings, my young adult children and my niece and nephew. Loved the proximity to everything. Walked to downtown, found an estate sale, climbed Mount Baldhead, sunset at Oval beach, and even visited the local lavendar garden in nearby Douglas. So fun!
Upon checking in I messaged the host how lovely the house was and that the pictures (while lovely) did not do the justice. Such a cute house, lovely appointments everywhere, in a perfect location. We loved sitting out on the front porch with our coffee in the morning. It was so close to downtown with just a few short blocks to walk but was peaceful and serene. The beds were super comfortable as well.
Angela, the host, was super helpful with her quick replies and suggestions. We will most certainly be looking to rent her lovely home again for our next trip to the area.
We had an amazing couple days away in saugatuck! A friend’s wedding at the Ivy House brought us here and we are so glad! The description of this home does not do it justice! This home is beautiful and is everything you need and more to have a wonderful time away from home. The location is perfect. A quick 5 min walk and you are downtown enjoying restaurants, shopping and sipping on drinks by the water catching up with good friends!!
Would definitely recommend this home and would stay again in the future!

About the host

I'm a Chicago native where I work as an independent jewelry designer and also re-seller of vintage collectibles, housewares, books and oddities. I also volunteer as a wolf ambassador.
Why they chose this property
The property was the garden for the farmhouse to the north. One visit and I was sold. There are many plantings that are over 60 years old. The former owner/artist/gardener constructed a stone wall on the property with stones he gathered by hand all over Michigan. The home was built in 2011 and won the Saugatuck Historical Society's Preservation Award for New Construction. It is a huge honor to receive this recognition.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful view of historic gothic church across the street. Lower and upper porches for hanging out. Fire pit for gathering around for nightly relaxing and conversation. 1st and 2nd floor bedrooms are en-suite and staggered on each level to optimize privacy.
