Best Place in Town! Summer Filling Fast! Spectacular Fall Getaways Are The Best!

Nicest location in town! Beautiful historic Italianate home built in 1868. The Pond Winslow homestead has been awarded the prestigious Heritage Preservation award for Honor and Respect by the Saugatuck Douglas Historical Society. Located on the hill over looking the town square. The home has been beautifully updated, including kitchen, newly remodeled bathrooms and restored old growth hardwood flooring through out. First floor includes, dine in kitchen with laundry, living room, dining room, half bath, bed room (queen bed) with en-suite full bath, and glassed/screened in porch. Second floor has master bedroom (queen bed) with private sun porch, 3rd bedroom handcrafted bunk-bed (full on bottom, single on top) and full bath. Kitchen is fully out fitted Keurig pod or drip coffee (get some fresh roasted beans from Uncommon Grounds, just two blocks) - just bring your favorite food and beverages. Bedrooms and baths are complete with linens. Beautiful flag stone patio with large built in fire pit, lots of grilling accessories. 'Up North' feel in town! In laws want to come too? Ask about the additional cottage with room for two!


Quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mature trees and tranquil gardens, yet just a few steps from the thriving downtown with all of its associated activities: Shops, Antique Stores, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Bars and Coffee shops. Utilize the chain ferry and walk or ride your bike to the beautiful Oval Beach. Easy drive to the many local golf courses, Fenn-Valley Vineyards, Crane's Apple Orchard, Dune Schooners and other area attractions.

Our stay at the Pond-Winslow house in Saugatuck couldn't have been more perfect. The house is gorgeous, very well maintained, and full of all the creature-comforts anyone could want. The proximity to shops, coffee, beaches, and sites along the water made it even more enjoyable. We even found and toured the Felt Estate. If you get a chance to visit, it's not to be missed. We're already looking forward to our next stay.

This lovey home has a great location near shops and restaurants - and pickleball! We were delighted to see a set of pickleball paddles at the front entry for guest use. The home was also generously stocked with coffee pods, seasonings, oil, and laundry detergent. The fire pit had plenty of wood for us. We also enjoyed the short drive to Oval Beach. Every thing was wonderful!
