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.

Perfect Weekend Stay!

I stayed here with my husband and our 2 month old daughter and we had the perfect stay at the Roost! The location was unbeatable, we were able to walk to town in under 10 mins and with the Southerner next door we had amazing food right there. Would definitely stay here again :)

Lovely October in Saugatuck

Location was ideal - within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. And the owner was immediately responsive to a question before our arrival. I hope to stay again in the future.

Idyllic getaway

Everything necessary for a quiet and comfortable three night stay. Full kitchen and laundry with a grocery store a few minutes away. In walking distance to downtown and the river with it’s beautiful paddle boat excursion which we took out to Lake Michigan. Perfect for walking our dog around the town and surrounding areas.
