It was the first time we stayed at this property. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the cottage and the privacy. The weather wasnât conducive to utilizing the deck and fire pit so we would consider staying here again in the fall.
Was a rainy weekend so we didnât get to enjoy out side but it was a great location for a quick walk downtown to som bars/food. The house was clean and not far from the management office if something was needed.
We stayed in town for a wedding. The location was great and the house well suited for 7 adults and 2 kids (and two. dogs!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A few notes of improvement (but didn't impact our stay too much): 1) Consider blackout or darkening curtains, especially in the twin room where kids may stay. 2) New pans that aren't scratched and/or are flat for them to work on the stove. 3) We couldn't get the AC working. Thankfully it wasnt too hot but definitely could be a problem with hotter weather.
I didn't like the check in process. We had to go to the management office in town to check in. Also they say the check in was a little delayed because they were still cleaning the house. When we finally got into the house the floors were full of sand. I understand its a beach town, but my daughter ended up sweeping the whole house. I don't believe the floors were cleaned or swept. Also all of the beds were very old and uncomfortable. The area was great loved being close to town. The outside area was awesome and very quiet. We loved our trip, but the house was just okay.
Location and being able to bring our dog were both huge pluses. There was plenty of space to sleep all the people the ad describes.
The draw backs were: 1. The beds 2. The blinds in many of the rooms were see through so there was no way to block the view of the neighboring home when getting dressed. 3. Quality of the furniture was low (example dresser drawers were on tracks) 4. There was a huge deck with multiple tables and chairs which hadnât been cleaned. The outdoor furniture was unusable except for what we cleaned ourselves.
Although the negatives seem to outweigh the positives I would stay there again if I needed a pet friendly home near down town Saugatuck.
