About this property

Waterfront / Best Views In Town / Location / Totally Updated / Very Clean

Only 1 week left in Summer/July-just opened up!
Walk into this beautiful home and you'll never want to leave. From the moment you arrive you'll be captivated by the spectacular water views from both levels and all new decor. Sit on the large deck and watch the sunrise, marina action across the way, or holiday fireworks. Enjoy the landscaped yard lounging, playing games or watching the river boat traffic on this waterfront property with private dock. Minutes from all attractions, yet it's the perfect place to get away from it all.

The entire house is totally updated. The upper level is an open concept with vaulted and beamed ceilings. Here you will find the roomy master with TV, second bedroom and full bath with walk-in shower. Enjoy cooking in the beautiful kitchen with all new stainless appliances, cupboards, granite countertops, and everything you need to prepare that perfect meal. There's seating for six at dining table and four more seats at kitchen counter. Living room area is great for family games, reading a book or watching movies. These rooms oversee a full wall of glass doors leading to the large deck overlooking incredible views of the water, town of Saugatuck and the marina.

Fantastic lower level with wet bar, full-size stainless refrigerator and oversized granite bar/dining that seats eight. Great place to eat, play games or just socialize. Open living area featuring another seating area with TV and additional sleeping (queen sleeper sofa). This level has a 3rd bedroom and second full bath with tub/shower.

The walkout with full wall of glass doors offer more stunning views of the water and leads to fabulous patio with wrought iron patio set, built-in gas grill, dock and yard.

Located right on Lake/River Kalamazoo with a private dock you can fish off or kayak down the river and it will lead you right onto Lake Michigan.

Walk, ride or drive to 'the world famous Oval Beach' (less than 1/2 mile) or head downtown for the short five minute drive to Douglas and/or Saugatuck for shopping, restaurants, wine tasting, art galleries, bars and farmers market. Only steps away you can walk to Mt. Baldhead (climb the 300+ stairs), the Pumphouse Museum and The Saugatuck Chain Ferry which will take you across the river.

This lovely home has it all: Beautiful, quality features throughout, super clean, fantastic waterfront location, across the river from downtown Saugatuck. Skip looking for a parking space, just hop on the Saugatuck Chain Ferry, or call the Interurban bus, and you're there. Our property also offers free wifi for all of our guests. For insurance purposes there is one outdoor security camera located outside facing the driveway only. Saugatuck Rental Registration #CSTR-250084

Beautiful lake front cabin

Loved the back deck, sat and drank coffee and talked for hours! Weather was gorgeous. We visited Holland and saw thousands of tulips in bloom. We did also go to Oval beach; good hike and did the 300 stairs at Mount Baldhead and whew! We found a beautiful view from the top! Would definitely (and are planning) another trip!!

AWESOME STAY!!

Annette is on top of everything and provides your every need. She provided us this amazing place to stay on the lake and gave us a lot of details and advice about the area. We had a great time drinking coffee starring at God's beauty in the mornings and explored the area in the afternoon. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to stay if you're in the area.

Beautiful lake house

The house was beautiful and well stocked. I can't think of anything that wasn't available that someone may need. Plenty of toilet paper and even facial tissue, which is often missing from VRBO homes. The views to the lake (on 2 floors) is just amazing, and so calming in the winter months when we were there. It was cold and the purpose of our trip was to celebrate a birthday and retirement, so we didn't have a lot of plans in the town. The house provided us with the perfect place to relax, play games, eat, and enjoy the company. The drive to downtown Saugatuck was quick and we did enjoy a short day of shopping. We also found a trivia game in a bar and had a great time there on a Saturday night. It was a perfect long weekend getaway. We would absolutely love to stay in this house again in the summer to more enjoy what the area has to offer. Annette was responsive, helpful and accommodating with everything. She was a pleasure to work with.

Great Getaway with Friends

Great location! Love the upper and lower decks to sit and enjoy morning coffee, meals and happy hour while wating the activity on the river and in town. The property is clean, well maintained with comfortable beds, sitting areas and a well stocked kitchen plus a wetbar in lower level. We loved it! We could launch our SUP right from the dock. Walk to the Chain ferry, Mt Baldhead and oval beach.

About the host

Hosted by Annette

Host profile image
My husband and kids have been vacationing in the Saugatuck area for the last twenty years. We love it so much we want to retire here so we bought this house. We enjoy anything to do with water, hiking, golfing, shopping, wine and good food so we always look forward to our time at the house because the views are so relaxing and the location can’t be beat. Since we are not yet retired and are not able to use it as much as we would like, we decided to rent it out for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

You won't find better views of the water! And the location is the perfect place if you like to go for walks or hike trails. Two doors down from a boat/kayak rental facility, three doors down from the Chain Ferry. Steps from Mt. Baldy. Right down the road from Oval Beach and only a five minute drive to Saugatuck. Just sit on the deck and watch all the boat action all while listening to the music from across the river.
