The home is beautiful, extremely clean, well furnished, comfortable, and has a very well equipped kitchen. The location is walkable to downtown Douglas, and has lovely water views. We were a group of 15 and had plenty of space for sleeping, cooking, and dining. The backyard and roof deck are lovely as well. The hosts were extremely communicative and clear, and the check in and out processes were very easy. Overall a truly wonderful stay in Douglas.

This property was everything advertised and more! The kitchen was very well appointed. The common areas were open which was great for a group of our size. We were able to walk to Saugatuck downtown in 20 minutes and Douglas was short 5 minute walk. Best spot for both. The rooftop patio was great for gathering with a beautiful view of the water. All bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. One teeny tiny comment, would be the furniture. A few thought there could be more comfortable chairs and the couch was a bit uncomfortable due to fact it was a deep seated couch; not easy on the back. That being said we will be back next year! Wonderful trip was had by all

Perfect Girl’s Weekend

The place was pretty much perfect, the beds were comfy and clean, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need! You also have a beautiful outdoor space and a lake view! My only comment would be that it would be smart to upgrade to a code entry instead of 1 key because we had people wanting to come home at different times. But overall I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a large group.

Fabulous Spot for a Friendscation!

The Douglas modern villa is an incredibly well-appointed home full of every amenity needed for a great vacation. The kitchen was the perfect place for our group of old friends to gather and cook delicious meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and modern. The rooftop deck offers a beautiful view of the water, the backyard has a patio and firepit. The proximity to Douglas village is excellent. We enjoyed strolling into town for coffee, meals, gallery tours. It’s also super close to Saugatuck and all of its offerings. We would definitely return!

Wonderful place

There were 15 adults in our group - plenty of room for all of us for meals and conversation! Very clean. Sleeping accommodations were great - just be aware that the futon in the basement is barely a double size bed. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and just about anything you could want in a kitchen and plenty of tableware - all cupboards were labeled! Worked out very well for our group.

Great location for our family.

We had a family wedding at The Ravines and The Ivy House. This property was in the perfect location to those venues; plus walked to downtown Douglas and a 4 minute drive to downtown Saugatuck. The property had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from for us. We had three couples and a single. The home was well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, cooking items (though we ate out) etc..

Great Weekend Getaway in Douglas

We stayed at the Douglas Modern Villa for a long weekend with 8 guys. We were in the area for an annual golf trip. This was the perfect property for our group. The pictures do not do it justice. The house is very large and well maintained. There was enough room for most everyone to have their own space. A few of us shared the bedroom with 3 twin beds, but it was comfortable. The yard is also massive with a great patio and fire pit. The neighborhood area seemed secluded and is very quiet. The house is just a short walk to the water and downtown Douglas. The walk to Sagatuck is reasonable (less than 1 mile). If you have a large group, consider this house! You won't be disappointed.

Just as described

Property was just as described. It was very well stocked with everything you may need. Loved the walking distance to downtown Douglas as well as a public fishing spot for my son. Only two negatives were the outside of the house/sitting area upstairs/windows were pretty dirty. Needs a good power wash. Also has an issue with the main TV upstairs and it was not fixed during our stay even though we asked for it to be.
