Escape to this beautifully updated 1920s lakefront home in Saugatuck, where modern comfort meets timeless charm. Located just minutes from downtown and steps from the water, this four-bedroom, two-bath retreat is designed for memorable getaways—whether you’re lounging lakeside, gathering around the fire, or enjoying family game night.
Inside, the home welcomes you with cozy yet elevated touches—modern decor, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace that sets the tone for relaxed evenings. Four Smart TVs, portable Sonos speakers, and shelves of books and board games make staying in just as fun as heading out. Downstairs, a small ping pong table and a foosball/pool combo table offer hours of entertainment. You’ll also find a Peloton bike and kettlebells in the garage for those looking to stay active during their stay.
The fully stocked kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, toaster oven, breakfast bar seating, and all the cooking essentials—plus spices and dishware to make meals feel effortless. Dine inside beneath the elegant chandelier or head out to the new deck, where a dining set offers lake views and fresh air. You’ll also find a gas grill, fire table, and pizza oven—all available for use with propane (we provide two tanks).
Step into your private lakefront paradise. Soak in the hot tub under the stars, launch a kayak from the private dock, or try your luck fishing with provided poles. Life jackets, an inflatable float, and even a life buoy ring are included for safe and fun water play. Down by the water, relax under the pergola with comfortable seating or gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings. On land, challenge your crew to corn hole, shoot hoops on the basketball court, or set up a game with the provided pickleball kit and paddles.
High-speed WiFi, central air and heating, complimentary toiletries, a washer/dryer, and an EV charger with Tesla adapter make your stay smooth and convenient. Towels, linens, a hair dryer, and ironing essentials are also provided.
Located just minutes from downtown Saugatuck, you’ll be close to art galleries, boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and iconic Oval Beach. Mount Baldhead Park, dune rides, and nature trails are also nearby, offering a variety of outdoor activities just beyond your doorstep.
Whether you're planning a summer paddle, a cozy winter retreat, or a fall color tour, this Saugatuck hideaway offers the perfect blend of lakeside leisure and upscale amenities.
