Weekend stay in August

We found the home exactly as advertised. Plenty of space and the bedrooms are all spread out. The home is bigger with more room than we expected. The screened porch off of the kitchen was perfect. Bonus: 2 minute walk to downtown but quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again given the opportunity.

Perfect location

This property was perfect for our family of six adults and two children. The upper level is actually a suite, a large bedroom, a sitting area to read or or relax and a full bathroom. It’s completely private. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the little things that makes cooking at home possible. We grilled two nights. The farmer’s Market was wonderful for fresh fruits and veggies. The owners were available and receptive. Just a great place!

Comfy cottage close to everything

We had a great stay at hilltop cottage! It was spotless and every detail was thought of - coffee, cookies, and even fresh flowers were provided! Beds were very comfortable and we loved being so close to town for the Venetian festival. Thank you! We would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Johnson

I am a retired high school teacher who has lived in Saugatuck for 40 years. I enjoy spending summer afternoons at the beach, gardening, and sitting on my porch while visiting with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

This historic house was moved from the lumber boomtown of Singapore in the 1860's. We completely restored it in the 1990's and updated everything in 2019.

What makes this property unique

Located in "On the Hill" in downtown Saugatuck. Two blocks from shopping, dining, and dock strolling, playground yet away from it all in a cozy historic neighborhood.
