Cozy Cottage for 8, Fire Pit + Short Walk to Town

Avalon is a charming, well-appointed cottage just a short walk from downtown Saugatuck. Designed for easy family and group getaways, it offers space to relax, cook, and unwind together. Enjoy a spacious, fully fenced-in backyard for daytime lounging and games, plus a fire pit for laid-back evenings. Avalon’s location puts you close to everything that makes the area so magical, from restaurants and galleries to waterfront fun, all just minutes away.

BATHROOMS
There are two full bathrooms in the cottage.

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion are provided.

Note: The basement bathroom uses a macerating toilet. Please flush toilet paper only.

LIVING/DINING
The open-concept living space features two comfortable seating areas, plenty of room to gather, and cozy touches throughout.

You’ll find a smart TV, stereo, record player and lots of vinyl for easy, relaxed entertainment.

The dining table seats six, with space for four more at the kitchen counter.

A full dry bar is stocked with glassware, cocktail tools, and a few of our favorite cocktail books.

KITCHEN
The recently updated kitchen includes new appliances, a gas stove, and everything you need to cook comfortably.

You’ll find quality cookware, sharp knives, a blender, coffee maker, coffee grinder, kettle, baking essentials, and a well-stocked pantry of basics.

OUTDOORS
Set on a ⅓-acre lot, Avalon offers plenty of outdoor space to enjoy.

The fully fenced-in backyard is ideal for relaxing, playing games, or letting kids roam, with a patio, grill, and plenty of seating.

The fire pit makes it easy to wind down together in the evenings.

PARKING
Parking is available for up to three vehicles: two off North Street and one off Holland Street near the garage.

Please avoid blocking the neighboring space and do not park on the grass. Use caution when pulling out onto Holland Street.

Guests have access to the entire home, including the detached garage. A few storage areas are locked, but everything needed for your stay is fully available.

The garage is stocked with extras for all seasons, including beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and sleds, plus a second refrigerator/freezer for added convenience.

We’re always available through the app and are happy to help with anything you need.

For more urgent questions/requests during your stay, our local property manager, Chadd, is nearby and usually the quickest to respond. His contact information can be found in our information emails, as well as our welcome guide.

Note: The basement bathroom uses a macerating toilet, so only toilet paper should be flushed. Please avoid flushing wipes (even “flushable”), sanitary products, or other items.

Availability and minimum stays vary by season. In the off-season, we typically offer a two-night minimum with more flexibility on check-in and check-out days.

Great property for families, with everything small children need including toys and a travel crib. It is close enough to the town to walk but secluded enough for privacy. It was clean and well appointed as well. Everything you could ask for in a rental home.

Beautiful home a half mile from downtown Saugatuck. Check in was smooth, the hosts were warm and communicative! The beds were comfortable. Toys and books on the sun porch were a hit with my kids. The bedrooms upstairs were warmer than the rest of the house but equipped with ceiling fans. It is on a somewhat busy street but we enjoyed hanging out in the spacious backyard. A quick drive to Oval Beach and fruit picking! We greatly enjoyed our stay. The only thing that could have been improved was cleanliness of the unit. There were some dust bunnies and hair on the bedroom floor and the trash had not been removed from one of the bedrooms prior to our arrival. Overall, a great vacation spot for families!
