About this property

Fairview - an Expansive Retreat

Step into timeless charm at this designer-owned, beautifully restored 1857 gem, reimagined through the decades. Where old-world character meets modern comfort, every detail - from original architecture to curated art - tells a story. Antiques, vintage finds, and warm interiors invite you to linger. Wake to sunlit mornings, unwind in luxurious rooms, and embrace the calm of a slower pace. Fairview is more than a stay—it’s a soulful retreat that feels like home.

Being an Art Coast Property, guests of Fairview have access to round-the-clock guest support. Simply give us a ring and we are there to assist!
You will receive a specially curated Guidebook prior to arrival, which will have our contact information, particulars about the house, tried-and-true recommendations, and a list of our concierge offerings.

Nestled on expansive, professionally landscaped grounds, this serene retreat feels worlds away—yet it's less than a five-minute drive from the shops, galleries, and beaches of downtown Saugatuck. Located directly across from Clearbrook Golf Club, you’ll enjoy peaceful, open views and the gentle rhythm of nature all around. Tall trees, quiet paths, and a sense of privacy create a tranquil, wooded oasis that invites you to relax, breathe deeply, and truly unwind.

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.

Step into timeless elegance at Fairview, a stunning historic home originally built in 1850 and lovingly restored to its original glory by professional artisans and designers. Nestled in a quiet, picturesque neighborhood just minutes from downtown Saugatuck and the Lake Michigan shoreline, this home blends 19th-century charm with modern luxury for an unforgettable retreat.

From the moment you arrive, Fairview invites you to slow down and savor life’s finer pleasures. The property boasts a spacious, lush yard perfect for outdoor gatherings, lawn games, or simply relaxing under the trees with a glass of wine. Inside, the home offers multiple beautifully appointed living spaces that encourage connection, conversation, and calm - ideal for groups, families, or friends traveling together.

Whether you're walking to dinner, grabbing an ice cream, or playing a round of putt-putt golf just down the street, Fairview’s walkable location makes it easy to enjoy the best of the area without ever needing your car. And with Saugatuck’s beaches, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants just minutes away, adventure is always within reach.

An indulgent escape awaits inside, where every element is chosen for comfort and beauty. Pampering begins with British-made Vispring mattresses dressed in luxurious Matouk linens, ensuring every night’s sleep is restorative. Spa-like Waterworks marble bathrooms feature laBottega bath products, plush robes, and elegant fixtures that elevate daily rituals into moments of luxury.

Throughout the home, you’ll find a carefully curated mix of one-of-a-kind antiques, original artwork, and refined textures, including Cowtan & Tout fabrics, that lend the home its richly layered, personal feel. Each room tells a story, inviting you to settle in and stay awhile.

Whether you're gathered around the dining table for a long, laughter-filled meal, curled up in a cozy reading nook with a favorite book, or sipping your morning coffee on the porch as the sun rises - Fairview offers space to reconnect, reflect, and revel in the beauty of the everyday.

Fairview is more than a place to stay - it’s a destination in itself. Elegant, comfortable, and steeped in history, this is a home designed for guests who appreciate craftsmanship, style, and the quiet luxury of a well-lived life.

Fairview is just around the corner from downtown Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, scenic beaches, and a variety of wineries and breweries.

This house is stunning. Perfect for a Labor Day weekend get away with a couple friends/ family. Very inviting and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. Games, great size yard, stocked kitchen (if you like to cook, you will love this house), across the street from the golf course, and short drive to beaches/ restaurants/ and bars. Extremely clean, thoughtfully designed. We had a great time!
