About this cottage rental

This 2 bedroom 1 bathroom was remodeled in 2017 with spectacular views and access of the Kalamazoo river. This secluded cottage will make you feel like you are far from everything yet only few minute drive to downtown Saugatuck! This cottage is located on a very private setting with amazing views, indoor gas fireplace, outdoor fire pit, and charcoal grill. Take the stairs down to the river and launch your kayaks for a paddle on the kalamazoo river to town or try your luck at fishing. (There currently is not a dock at the property and the stairs are steep) The master bed has a therapeutic adjustable bed with a TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and also has a tv. Note: you do have to walk through the master to access the second bedroom. The second bedroom has windows with no shades. The full bathroom is outfitted with a shower. Note: The shower is a smaller stall tiled shower. The cottage does have a mini split AC system.

This is a beautiful, peaceful location. A quick drive into town if you want to eat out, but a great escape if you're seeking tranquility. The view of the wetlands and the wildlife were our favorite things about it. The beds are great, and with all the windows open in the 2nd bedroom, it's almost like sleeping outdoors. Our only complaint was the overpowering liquid "air freshener" pod placed in the cottage. Unnecessary, and as someone sensitive to perfumes, this was almost gag-inducing. We placed it outside for the duration of our stay, opened all the windows and ran the fans to freshen the air the natural way.
