The Roost at The Southerner
Adorable pet-friendly cottage within walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and all it has to offer. Main room offers a gas fireplace, TV and full kitchen with a pull-out loveseat and space to dine. Queen bed in bedroom, ensuite bath with shower and laundry room. A/C, ceiling fans & shady location. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + 1. Be sure to take advantage of the popular restaurant The Southerner right next door. The restaurant can be quite busy in the summer so there's fantastic people watching from your private patio but it ends service at 10pm so no late night noise or commotion.

Quiet and cozy cottage near town.
Very clean and well-appointed cottage about a leisurely ten minute walk to town. Loved the floors—no nasty carpet—, very comfortable queen-sized bed, and amenities. What I really appreciated though was the fragrance-free linens and plant-based shower products. Thank you!

Perfect size for short weekend
Great location for a short walk to town and a great size for just a couple and infant. The dedicated parking spot is a great perk and although close to the restaurant, we had no issues with noise!

Perfect weekend getaway
Was a great place to stay and get away. The unit was great and had everything we needed and were pleasantly surprised by the nice fireplace - which came in handy with the chilly weather. Location was great and we had nice time exploring downtown Saugatuck and Douglas and visited the state park as well as having a great dinner right next door at “the Southerner”. Looking forward to coming back again

A wonderful quick vacation
We decided to visit Saugatuck for a few days (it had been many years since we had been there). We wanted a place with great reviews that allowed our sweet golden retriever to accompany us. This place surpassed our expectations! This property is immaculate and was very tastefully appointed inside. The location was perfect, both to get to downtown as well as to a beautiful inter urban trail (Mildred Peterson Nature Preserve) nearby for nature ( and dog) walking.
