Exactly what we were looking for!

This place is quirky and cozy and close to everything. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway out of the city. While it could probably use a deep clean, my family and I loved our stay.

Everything was perfection! From the ease of check-in, to the cleanliness, to the wonderful insight, friendliness & recommendations of our contact person, Michael, to the central location of Saugatuck. It was a delightfully unique space located above The Butler Pantry which had a fabulous selection of coffee, wine, and delicious provisions. This has been, by far, my favorite Vrbo stay and I couldn't recommend it high enough.

Great Location - Fun Spot to Stay

We enjoyed this charming historic hardware building - it was fun to stay here so close to shops. It felt “homey” & we loved the decor with the antique tools and other objects. The Butler Pantry downstairs was a great first stop for coffee in the morning and last stop for cookies in the evening. If you have a hard time with stairs, that would be your only barrier to enjoying this location - 21 stairs to get to the apartment upstairs - for us, it was okay and worth the climb to stay somewhere a little different. :)

Why you should stay here

A centrally located property in Downtown Saugatuck. This place is tidy and has everything you need for your stay. A full size fridge comes in handy with storing your beverages and leftovers ! The property manager is accessible if need be. Beds are comfortable and the showers are like home. Downstairs is The Butler Pantry for your coffee if you forgot to bring your own. You don't need to move your car since you can walk to most places. This place was just like described and we were fortunate to find this gem ! We will definitely want to come back and stay here again.

Property is very well located. Bike rental store is at the same address...we took a leisurely ride to the beach. Easy walk to downtown restaurants and shopping. Power in Saugatuck went out for a few hours our last night. I reached out to the local contact, but there were no flashlights or emergency lighting available on the property. We weren't too inconvenienced...managed with our phone lights. Would stay here again.

Great Location - Interesting Layout

This is a beautiful building in an excellent location in the heart of Saugatuck. There's a great little shop in the ground floor as well.The loft is very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The living area is bright and roomy and was great for spending an afternoon with family as a respite in the air conditioning during the hottest part of the day or during a rainstorm.The unit is entirely on the upper level as well, so if you have a stroller or heavy bags to bring along, be advised that it's a hike up the stairs.The kitchen is kind of DIY-ish and there is no dishwasher, so it's not great for doing your own cooking for a longer stay.My only issue with this property is the logistics of the bathrooms and sleeping arrangements. We needed three beds, one of which was the sleeper sofa in the living room. However, the living room windows did not have blinds, so it felt a little strange from a privacy perspective, and it got really bright and sunny really early in the morning. Additionally, the only bathroom on the main level is only accessible through the master bedroom. There is another bathroom up in the loft, and as such both bathrooms are slightly inconvenient for different reasons. In summary, it's a neat place, but just be aware of the logistical limitations.
