Wonderful stay for two nights. Plenty of bedrooms for a full family plus friends. Backyard is huge with a nice deck/patio with outdoor games and a beautiful fire pit. Very convenient location, near everything. Only complaint is that two of the four bedroom window air conditioners are incredibly loud and we were unable to use them as they kept us awake. There were ceiling fans that did help in those two rooms. If the AC units are replaced/updated we would have no complaints. The owner left a very detailed note upon check-in with direct cell phone to contact in case of issues. I would not question staying here again.

We (8 women) had a wonderful time staying in this old house with lots of character. We spent most of the time outside on the deck (quiet and private due to the greenery). The house is close to the beach, town, restaurants, and activities. It was well stocked including plenty of bath towels and beach towels. We recommend the Interurban bus (call in advance), Oval Beach, Dune Rides, Fenn Valley Vineyards, and the Windmill Island Gardens.

This is a beautiful home with tons of space for large families vacationing together. My only complaint is the air conditioning was not on when we arrived at the property, and the house was about 84. We got there late and wanted to go right to bed, but it was just too hot to be comfortable. My recommendation for the property owner would be to make sure the air is running so their guests are comfortable upon arrival. I'm sure it's expensive to cool a house down this size, but that could be a deal breaker for me in the future.

Wonderful stay

The property was charming amd full of character. We were there to stay for a bachelorette party. The house was a 15 minute walk to downtown Saugatuck, which was great. The house was full of everything you would need. The outdoor area was great for outdoor eating and general hanging out.

Artistically staged large house

We were shocked at how nice this house was. Large bedrooms with antiques and tons of art. A second kitchen/5th bedroom & 3 sitting rooms! Sadly, the outside no longer looks like the photis. Very overgrown. Neighborhood perfect and even had a family of deer come say hi. Weren't planning on returning.

Convenient Location w/ Plenty of Space

We were attending a wedding and reception at Ivy House and didn’t want to drive back to GR afterwards. This was very conveniently located, just 2 mins from the venue. There was plenty of room for 4 couples, and the host was able to get us in early so we could fr and change. Great visit and would stay again, thanks!

Short Stay

This place was exactly what we needed for our short stay. The history of the house was great to read about. Everything was what we expected from the details. The owner was very prompt with information and answered any questions we had. Property was beautiful and everyone in the family loved the stay. Definitely would recommend and will hopefully return again one day for a longer visit.

A lovely very old home

Although we only spent one night at Elizabeth house our stay was perfect! This home is very large with all the nooks and crannies that I personally love plus comfortable beds, oodles of books to read, tons of cool artwork and other things to look at but I wouldn’t recommend staying here with little ones who don’t yet have the control or ability to keep their hands to themselves! Check in was effortless and we were greeted with a lovely fire going in the fireplace! Would definitely stay again!

Family sleepover

The house is quaint with historical charm. By all accounts the beds were comfortable. We stayed in the winter and so can't speak to the outside amenities. We also didn't travel into town, so I can't speak to that either. The only criticism is that the elders in the family had a hard time finding the house as it is back off the road and the numbers are nailed up on a tree. Admittedly, I also had a moment looking for the house, but I was looking during daylight hours so it was easier to find. Everyone enjoyed the house in all of its charm. My six year old was fine, but if you have toddlers, you may need to be on high alert as there are a lot of pieces of art and objects that little hands would love to grab. There are two bedroom on the first floor, that we put the elders in so they didn't have to navigate the stairs. One was a King and the other was either a Queen or a Full bed. Upstairs is a King four-poster and a Full bed in the next room. Would recommend.

Holiday Board Party

A group of friends and I reserved The Elizabeth House for an all-girls holiday "board" party. It was such a cozy location and all 8 of us kept commenting how we want to come back in the summer. It's an amazing location. The house is huge! Majority of our time qas spent in the living/dining area which was a little cramped for a large party but as long as yiur group all likes eachother it makes for a better time ;) Service is a little spotty and we had some issues with the wifi (could have been user error) but it didn't hinder our stay. The only thing that could have made the stay better is a bluetooth speaker - we forgot ours! And, if there was one we couldn't find it. PS the beds are SO comfy!

Perfect for a night!

There were 8 of us adults in town for a wedding. The property was clean and fresh! No "old home" smell which my sister is always worried about! 😂 Oh and thanks for having Static Guard in the laundry area! Life saver!! The only bummer was the TV situation as the guys wanted to watch the football game, but were unable to due to no cable. Otherwise, it was a great location and property! Tip: If you are coming home when its dark leave a light on outside! It gets quite dark in the driveway area!

In Praise of Old Houses

Truly a place with history. This 1834 home reminds me of the literary works by Vernon Lee, and is the perfect accommodation for art, history, and literature buffs - who will find the charming nooks and crannies of this house perfect for getting lost in. Although there are plenty of modern amenities, we were delighted to be surrounded by beautiful traditional Persian rugs, glowing oil paintings, and various vintage tchotchkes. Coming back to this romantic house after coffeeshop and bookstore-hopping was the perfect ending to our time in Saugatuck. We were a small group and very much enjoyed the opportunity to take a step back in time. Thank you, John Matthew for your gracious hospitality, we will definitely be back!
