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 :)

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.

Convenient and Comfortable
We had a great trip and stay in the Saugatuck area. The cottage was very cute, clean, and conveniently located to downtown Saugatuck and its attractions. The cottage had everything we needed, and Amy was very quick at responding to any questions. We walked across the parking lot to dinner at The Southerner, and walked downtown to The BARge, various shops, and the Star of Saugatuck. We were conveniently close to other places and did a dune ride as well as visited Holland. Great time and highly recommend!

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.

Beautiful Cottage, Excellent Location
The cottage as exactly as expected with great indoor and outdoor space, all the amenities and very well kept. It is close to town but not right in town which was perfect. I very much enjoyed my stay and would return.

Quiet and cozy cottage near town.
Very clean and well-appointed cottage about a leisurely ten minute walk to town. Loved the floors—no nasty carpet—, very comfortable queen-sized bed, and amenities. What I really appreciated though was the fragrance-free linens and plant-based shower products. Thank you!

Cottage was clean, modern, great little kitchen. We used the patio frequently for cookouts, and wine sipping. Very quiet even though the restaurant was nearby. Host was very accessible. Very enjoyable. We will come back.

Cute little cottage!
Perfect place for the two of us! We did a five-day bike rental from In the Elements, and it was easy to hop on the Blue Star/Beeline trail to Holland or ride the other way to Douglas. We ate at The Southerner next door two times and grilled at the cottage twice. Downtown restaurants are an easy walk, but we highly recommend Pennyroyal Cafe on Blue Star and Farmhouse Deli in Douglas.

We absolutely loved our stay in this adorable little cottage. We have visited the southerner everytime we came to Saugatuck and staying right next door was such a special treat. It’s just a quick walk to downtown. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

Perfect little home in Saugatuck
This was the cutest little place I've ever stayed in. As you can tell from the listing, it's small but it's laid out so well that you barely notice. It had everything we needed and we even used the grill with great success. It's a short walk to downtown Saugatuck and very close to the river. Highly recommended!
