Great Getaway - Quiet, Walk to Golf, near Downtown

Summary:
You'll love staying at this updated farmhouse! Only 5 minutes from downtown Saugatuck, 6 minutes to downtown Douglas, and 15 minutes from Holland make it easy to visit the best the area has to offer, all while having a secluded "home base" with large yard to come back to. There is plenty of seating for everyone in your group and even a built in bar for entertaining. Whether you are looking for a relaxing weekend or to make memories with a group of friends, this home is for you!

The Space:
This home was purchased in fall 2020 from a family who had owned the home for many many years and the children had grown up in. I have met them and they are wonderful people and they were excited that their home would be getting renovated and rented so that many families would be able to experience the great aspects of Saugatuck they grew up with.

During the winter of 2020/2021 I lived in the house full time while completing renovation work. New floors, new counter tops, new paint, remodeling the bathrooms and bedrooms. It was quite the experience but I would say very rewarding! I was also able to get to know the town (and fall in love with it!) during my time here. It's a truly special area and I am happy to share any recommendations with you!

I am thrilled to have completed all the renovations and be able to rent the home to families and groups alike looking to escape the daily routine. This home and Saugatuck are a great setting for making memories with friends and families and I am certain that anyone who stays here will return to Saugatuck again in the future!

This property is pet-friendly, and you're invited to bring your furry companions. Please note there is a pet fee of $75 per pet. (kindly inform us upon booking).

Guest Access:
You will have the entire home and property to yourself :) this home sits on just over 3 acres which means there is plenty of room for outdoor fun and games in the summer sun!

For anyone traveling with pets - pets are welcome for a fee but they must be kept on a leash or lead when outside of the home.

Other Things to Note:
A few things to note about the home:

Indoor Fireplace: The indoor fireplace is for decoration only. DO NOT have any fires in the indoor fireplace.

Laundry: Laundry machines are located in the basement and accessed via the door in the first floor mudroom. Be cautious and use the handrail as the staircase to the basement is steep.

Grill: A charcoal grill is provided for guests to use. You must provide your own charcoal. Do not move the grill and DO NOT leave the grill unattended while in use.

Fire Pit: Please enjoy the outdoor fire pit. ONLY burn firewood in the fire pit and DO NOT leave fires unattended. When finished using the fire pit extinguish all flames and coals with water.

Air Conditioning (summer only): While the home is equipped with A/C, our hottest summer days challenge the A/C system in this large, older home. Please close any vents on the main floor to force air upstairs, keep shades pulled and utilize fans.

Rough around edges
Drove up to the property and the outside needs work. Moldy siding and needs major landscape update with at least bushes trimmed. In the inside - a little rough around the edges but very clean. Looks like they use a good housekeeping service. Very delayed response from owner/mgt company on 2 issues. Maybe he thought not emergent and could wait but it seemed not interested. Internet didn’t work the last two days even when reported

Perfect location
The host was excellent with communication and the house was very clean. Check in and check out was simple and easy. The location is PERFECT. It’s right down the road from Downtown Saugatuck, a five minute drive from the Sand Dunes State Park, and just a couple minutes away from the Sand Dune Rides. We had a blast during our time in Saugatuck!

Summer Vacation Rental
We rented this home for one week with our family (8 adults, 2 kids (ages 7 and 4) and two dogs. This is a great old farm house that has been remodeled on the inside. The outside is still old farm house but the inside is clean with comfortable, new beds and updated decor. We had a relaxing time. It is very close to our favorite restaurant Penny Royal and right next to a golf course. The house is perfect size for a large group or family. The kitchen was equipped with dishes,‘and and utensils for cooking. The stove is older but worked just fine. There is also a charcoal BBQ available. The location made for a short bike/car ride to Douglas or Saugatuck. The owners were quick to respond to our questions. Everyone in my family, from age 4 thru 88, had a great time.

Refurbished farmhouse
Large house. Nothing fancy, but room for all of us. Owner is responsive, and promised to fix the kitchen faucet that was loose and hard to turn off. Stove is slow and barely works. Overall, in good condition. Fairly close to Saugatuck, and will be closer to Holland when bridge over the interstate is replaced and open.

House was just as pictured. Would stay again
The home was just as described. Very clean and welcoming. All five bedrooms are super spacious with plenty of room to spread out. All beds were firm and comfortable. Hot water was hot on demand. Only thing I might add is a high chair and a pack and play for tiny guests. And a pizza pan. 😀 Location is private and convenient to all of Saugatuck.

Great for a fall color getaway
Great house with lots of space in a lovely woods setting. It's in a neighborhood but surrounded by enough trees to feel more isolated (even with the highway).

Clean property with plenty of space
This was our first VRBO experience and it was a great one. Beautiful nature setting. Close to shopping and the beach while still away for privacy. The house was clean. The stove is ancient and we were afraid to use it. However, there were plenty of restaurants in town to try. There were a couple of tripping hazards (loose boards and uneven flooring) that were concerning for my elderly parents. Overall nice, clean place with plenty of room.

Great place to visit!
Really loved our short stay in this beautiful open floor layout. Florida room was perfect to keep the pugs in, and very nice area for bonfires. The home is at the end of a dead end road, so nice and quiet.

Perfect Girls Getaway
This property was just perfect for our girls getaway! The home is well priced, remodeled nicely in the farmhouse style with plenty of bedrooms (5, which is hard to find!) and plenty of relaxing and gathering space. The property owner was very good with communication and very responsive to a minor issue we brought to his attention. We would be happy to stay here again!

Quiet and cozy
The house has been mostly redone inside but the listing does say dishwasher— we never found a dishwasher. The electric stove is also very old and not easy to navigate. The space was nice and the beds were awesome. One bedroom on the first floor and the other 4 upstairs. The driveway is a pull through so that was nice for loading and unloading cars.
