About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fire & Water

Wake up to panoramic Kalamazoo River views from nearly every room and step onto your private dock—kayaks ready, coffee in hand. Spend your days on the water and evenings in the hot tub overlooking the river. Private, wooded, and designed for effortless summer living just minutes from Saugatuck.

Private dock with kayaks + direct river access

Hot tub, fire pit, grill + outdoor dining

Four decks with multiple riverfront gathering spaces

Spacious layout, game room, updated kitchen

Perched above 180 feet of private Kalamazoo River frontage, this reimagined retreat delivers what guests consistently come for: uninterrupted water views, total privacy, and a setting designed to slow you down the moment you arrive.

Inside, the home blends a warm, elevated cabin feel with modern updates, featuring a redesigned chef’s kitchen, open living spaces, and a dedicated game lounge. Large windows throughout keep the river in view, creating a constant connection to the outdoors.

The experience centers around the property itself. Four separate decks—including one at the water’s edge—offer multiple places to gather, dine, or unwind. The private dock provides direct access to the river with kayaks ready to go, while the hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor spaces are positioned for long, relaxed summer evenings.

Every detail has been thoughtfully updated to deliver a clean, comfortable, and seamless stay from arrival to departure.

This is a private, wooded riverfront property designed to feel immersed in nature. With that comes a more natural setting—wildlife sightings are common, and seasonal insects can be present despite regular pest control. Most guests find this to be part of what makes the experience so special.

The home has been recently updated and thoughtfully prepared for each stay, with systems and amenities regularly maintained to ensure a clean, comfortable experience.

Outdoor access to the river and lower deck includes steps and natural pathways, which may require extra care for young children or guests with limited mobility.
