This rental is a charming, two bedroom cottage perfect for a romantic couples' get-a-way or small family vacation. It has an ideal location just two houses from downtown shops and restaurants and is secluded on a dead end,. cul-de-sac with little traffic or pedestrian noise. The cottage has a very private stone patio in the back off the master bedroom which has an umbrella table and chairs and a chimenea for romantic fires, on those cool nights. The large side yard is nicely landscaped and is a great place for a picnic, yard games or child's play. The cottage is Pet Friendly and there's even a bike rack for securing your bike. Pickleball and Tennis courts are just a few blocks away.

Being just a stone's throw from downtown you'll find yourself walking everywhere. The Cottage is also only a block away from the river and Wickes Park where you can sit and watch the river boat traffic, people watch or fish. The chain ferry is at the end of the street and can take you across the river where you can walk or ride your bike to the beach.

Having two (2) on-site parking spots is especially welcoming when you drive somewhere and come back later to find them waiting on your return and being the only two open spots anywhere around. You'll enjoy your time in this cottage and the ease of access to downtown. You'll definitely want to return.

The cottage is rented weekly during the Summer Season and nightly during the Spring and Fall with a 2 or 3 night minimum stay.

Two small dogs (20 lbs each or less or one medium sized) are allowed with the owner's approval and payment of a Pet Fee. Please read the included Pet Policy requirements; especially the need to kennel/crate your pet(s) whenever left alone in the cottage.

Our linen package includes bed pads, pillows, pillow cases, sheets and blankets. Bath mats & dish towels are also provided. However, It is necessary for you to bring your own bath and beach towels. Obviously, the washer/dryer will make this requirement easier.

We had another wonderful vacation at Jan's Cottage. The cottage is cute and sized just right for for us. We really like the close proximity to downtown which allows us to walk our dog. Gary is always attentive to any issues that arise. We will be back next year!

Just returned and looking forward to staying here again next year. The home was so convenient to everything going on in town yet very quiet and quaint. A little sanctuary right in town. I stayed with my mother and we were able to enjoy the art in the park, farmers market, shopping, and beautiful views along the river- all within a quick walk. The drive to Oval Beach was easy for a beautiful sunset. Excellent location and the property manager communicated with us the day before and the day of arrival making sure that everything was to our satisfaction. Highly recommend the stay here.

Very nice house for a couple, with a second bedroom with twin beds for kids, plus pet friendly! Great location for easy access to all of downtown Saugatuck, yet on a quiet side street with off street parking, perfect for our 2 week stay. Owners are responsive, detail oriented and local to take care of any issues that might arise. A good find, and we will definitely stay here again!

We have stayed at this property twice and love it. Very cozy and clean. The location is perfect - its only about a block or less to downtown Saugatuck and across the way from the Chain Ferry. There is parking for 2 vehicles- and thats important cos parking can be very difficult during the summer months.

saugatuck getaway

the cottage is cute, but old and could use updating, the appliances are updated, but the kitchen is very small, the bathroom shower was nice, but the sink and toilet need updating, the bedrooms were fine and the master bed was comfortable, the living area with furniture was okay, didn't like that we felt we needed to clean the place per their laminated instructions even though there is a cleaning fee, communication was great and location is also great, Saugatuck is a nice place to visit for a few days

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect. We didn't have pets and didn't notice any evidence that this was a pet-friendly place. It's super clean! Very quick communication with friendly owners. Note: One person in our party has a back condition and felt the 3 mattresses were all very firm. The sofa was comfortable for her to sleep on with her back condition.
