Lovely Property - liked having games available to play - could have used a couple of chairs for the table and the living room - had 8 people stay - all had a bed, but there was neither dining room or living room seating for everyone.
The cabin was wonderful. Loved the layout. The spaces were very comfortable. The surroundings were ideal being close to the board walk, to the lake and the swimming pool. Unfortunately, there are a few things that need attention. The refrigerator was dirty inside, the quilts on the bed needed washing, the master bathroom is carpeted, musty and old. It should be removed and replaced. The charcoal grill situation was not ideal as the trees are getting overgrown between the houses. The grill was also not clean. Fortunately, the kitchen, bathrooms and common areas were all nice and tidy.None of these issues kept our family from enjoying vacation but if I would have rented this place with other friends, this would have been a problem. No one wants to check into a place and put their food into a dirty fridge. I actually lined the refrigerator surfaces with paper towels and put our stuff on that. We would love to come back someday but would like assurances that these issues have been addressed. We loved the location and love Saugatuck.
Location of cabin to onsite amenities was awesome. The hot tub was a great addition. Proximity to all of the adventures we had planned was awesome as well. Loved our time, and more then enough space for family of 5 to spread out.
The cabin was lovely and the private lake was clean and fun to swim in. The location was perfect for time in Saugatuck, Douglas and Holland. Saugatuck Dunes State Park was just around the corner. We were very happy with our stay.
We stayed at this cabin for a quick girls' weekend with 3 generations of my family. We enjoyed our stay. The hot tub is fantastic. The layout of the cabin is as described. The kitchen was well stocked even though we didn't use it during our stay. The amenities are great. There is a fabulous smelling lilac bush near the front porch which was pleasant upon arrival. Quick walk to the boardwalk/lake. Small community off the main road which is quick and easy access to nearby towns and restaurants. Communication with the owner was fantastic and timely, super friendly. Would recommend this cabin!
My mom, two sisters and I had a great weekend at the cabin. It was a quickly planned trip meant to be sort of a staycation and this place was the perfect vibe. We took advantage of the fireplace and the hot tub (even in 11 degree weather!). The area is great as well - itâs a quiet location but very close to restaurants/things to do - even in the winter! On top of it all, Elisabeth made sure I had all the info I needed to plan ahead for the stay and throughout, and check out was a breeze as well.
My family of 7 enjoyed the cabin, the pool was fabulous, hot tub perfect for enjoying in evening and fire pit was used for sâmores and hot dogs! The owner was very responsive. I did think the photos made the property look larger than it was. My only suggestion would be a good deep clean and the exterior needs attention, screens were torn and need cleaned, rear porch door needs attention, leak under faucet. Close to everything.
We have rented this property a few times in the past few years. This was the 1st year we noticed that the property could use some TLC.
Positives: Great location, pool, and hot tub. The owner has always been responsive.
Things to Improve on: Cleanliness and updates needed- downstairs bedroom smelled musty and there was a lot of dust on a lamp and under bed- cleaning service doesn't seem to be doing a thorough job. The bath towels could use replacement and chipped toilet seat should be replaced. There was also a broken drawer in the fridge.
Area was very nice. We kayaked on the lake, which was beautiful. The pool was very nice except when a family showed up and the father proceeded to toss his kids around in the pool, splashing everyone and as a result, many people left. The house was nice but couldâve used a good cleaning. Spiderwebs on dining room chandelier. The carpeting upstairs was old, worn and stained. The kitchen was not very clean, and the cupboards contents looked as though someone just threw the pots and pans in them. Only had one roll of paper towels and three trash bags. Very little laundry detergent which was odd as we were required to start a load of laundry before we left. The dishwasher detergent box was broken at the bottom and looked pretty old. Thankfully we brought paper towels and detergent. Knives were extremely dullâI wish I wouldâve brought my own. I had to clean the oven before I used it (otherwise we wouldâve had a kitchen full of smoke) and had to wash all of the dishes, pans and utensils/silverware before use. The back porch was dirty, as well. The site listing showed a gas grill but we couldnât find it until the second day and it was in the woods behind the house, so we opted not to use it. Fortunately, the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. For the price paid, we expected more. Definitely not luxury.
Great location, near dunes, downtown, and beach. Cabin nice, but outdated, needs some tlc on screens, doors, and refreshed games with all pieces would be appreciated. Recommends more seating in living room, a small couch and 2 chairs not enough for cabin guests. A/C not working correctly- owner did eventually get back to us but not able to correct, was muggy in July.
Pool nice, small dock if you fish nearby.
We came to stay with our two adult children, their spouses, and their two babies for our younger sonâs wedding. We e made a long weekend out of and enjoyed ourselves very much!!
We brought my father in law to Saugatuck for his birthday. The property was very clean. The beds are comfortable. The hot tub was a great amenity. My 17year old caught a bass. We went to the Saugatuck state park which was beautiful and very close. The property is very close to downtown where we shopped and had great meals! Everything was truly perfect!
We stayed here as our third trip to Kingfisher Cove and the first in Elisabethâs cabin. This vacation community is absolutely perfect, and we loved the proximity of this cabin to the pool and the dock. The only thing that wasnât picture perfect was the comfort of the beds.
My family absolutely loved our stay here and our trip to Saugatuck. We had friends stay in a neighboring cabin which made it even better. Loved the community and how close the location is to downtown, oval beach, etc. Would definitely stay here again!
