The Lookout Cottage at Treetops by Lakewood Lux

Treetops is Saugatuck’s only rental featuring three neighboring vintage cottages—perfect for multi-family getaways. Nestled around a shared firepit and professionally maintained hot tub, each cottage offers screened porches, harbor or dune views, and generous outdoor space for grilling and gathering. Cottages may be reserved individually or together, depending on availability. This listing is for the Lookout Cottage.

The Lookout Cottage: Open concept living with vintage cottage finishes and a lovely farm-style kitchen. A bedroom is attached to the main living space, coupled with a large bathroom, providing plenty of capacity for 4 guests. A queen-sized Room and Board sleeper sofa and sleeping porch with a twin trundle bed is available for extra sleeping. The Lookout has a large screened porch with views of the harbor. The fire pit has the best views in town, you have to see it to believe it! Includes washer/dryer.

Perched high atop the 50-foot sand dune, The Lookout boasts the best views of the harbor and downtown Saugatuck, making its screened-in sleeping porch the most coveted room in the Treetops. With plenty of living space and an eat-in kitchen, this is the perfect cottage for a couple, small group, or family of 3-4.

The Lookout comes with a spectacular location. Perched on top of a 50-foot dune, the complex is positioned directly across the lake from downtown Saugatuck. As the primary means of access to Lake Michigan, the harbor is perpetually full of boats, music, and other fun sights viewable from the cottage porches and firepit. It’s also a short 15 minute dune hike (or 2-minute drive) to award-winning Oval Beach, named in Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 25 Beaches in the World, National Geographic Traveler’s Top Freshwater Beaches in the USA, and MTV’s Top 5 Beaches in the USA.

The Lookout’s spacious, gourmet kitchen includes everything a chef could need: a range, microwave, coffee pot, pots, pans and more. Plus, a four-top dining table adds comfort to your morning cup of joe and locally-purchased pastries.

During holiday celebrations, panoramic firework views are unrivaled, launched mere feet away.

The Lookout sits on the highest point of the Treetops complex with easy access to the shared firepit, outdoor dining area, and professionally maintained hot tub.

The Lookout boasts the best views of the harbor and downtown Saugatuck of all the Treetops cottages, and Erica Sinchak made sure guests could enjoy it.

Peaceful Getaway

My mom and I loved our time in this darling cottage overlooking the water. It was a short drive to the shops of Saugatuck and gorgeous Oval Beach. We enjoyed the cozy fire inside as well as the outdoor fire pit...plus the hot tub was an added bonus to take away the fall chill. Erica was super responsive and her place was a perfect home away from home.

Cozy retreat with a beautiful view.

We loved this cozy getaway with a great view of the water. It was very close to town, but we could have enjoyed the cottage without even going to town. The amenities were perfect and Erica was wonderful. Very clean. Can't wait to go back.

Home away from home!

We stayed here as a mini honeymoon. The property was beautiful, and we felt right at home. Erica was super helpful with any questions we had - the cabin had everything we needed for our two-night stay. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit at the property - we also enjoyed massages at the Aveda salon and cruised the river in a retro boat rental. We had a great time and will be back!

Phenomenal Experience!

If you are looking a place to stay do not pass this location up! It is an absolutely perfect spot with regards to an easy and quick drive to the city, or a short walk to the lake. The property is extremely cozy and scenic. Erica was just extremely accommodating and checked in periodically to make sure all our needs were met. This was a perfect place to experience Saugatuck and I highly recommend it!!!

Wonderful Getaway

Easy check in. Super cute place & very peaceful. Erica quickly responded to a ton of questions and gave great restaurant recommendations, she even let us know the Root Beer Barrel was opening for the season during our stay so we didn’t miss out! Great location, just down the road from Mt.Baldhead steps with scenic lookout. Only 5 minutes from The Dunes resort if you’re looking for dancing or drag shows, etc. Hot tub was wonderful. We will absolutely be back again!

Winter getaway

Nice property. The main cabin side was well lit at check in but the path leading up to Overlook was dark and a bit unwelcoming at first, but once I got inside it was a charming retreat. Current construction on Ferry Street also makes accessing the property a bit tricky - but I’m sure that will be sorted in no time! The idea of the summer chain ferry sounds amazing and wish it had been in operation for the stay! Many deer throughout the neighborhood so be careful driving! Beautiful!

Super cute!

The cabin was great. Very clean and super cute. I would suggest that it is better for only 2-3 guests as there is no privacy in the bedroom. The cabins are also super close together so not the best place if you are looking for privacy and quiet, but otherwise we had a great time!

Lovely minimalist getaway

Lovely simple living nestled in the woods. This home was great for traveling with our 1 year old. Simple open floorplan, nice enclosed porch, and space in the bedroom for our pack n play. Floor was a little dirty but I think that comes with the old wood charm and sandy soil outside, but we may just notice more because one of our party spent lots of time on the floor. Host was SO welcoming and responsive, and gave us lots of good local recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Lookout Cabin at Treetops

The cabin was rustic with modern updates. Very nice. The grounds were relatively void of native plant life. The view was beautiful. Erica, our host, was very nice.

Lacking privacy

The cabin is cute and in a great location. The only issue is the complete lack of privacy. There are windows on all sides, and yet no curtains! Given the proximity of the other cabins, this is ridiculous. I was standing in the shower/sitting on the toilet and staring into the windows of the cabin next door. The solution is easy and inexpensive - just put up a few curtains! I would happily return if they made this improvement. Until then - no thanks.
