    Super cozy place on the water. Coffee and water view were outstanding and relaxing. Everything in town is just a few minutes of walking. Great stay!

    Great view of the river and riverbank woods, boats. Loved the unit itself - economical in size but did not feel cramped. Wish there was bar soap vs one tube of body wash for 2 adults for 2 nights, but maybe that was on oversight. Overall a lovely stay.

    River dock view - shades up another bldg/residence has view right in to bedroom (maybe shades that open from the top instead?). Did have some loud voices from neighbors.Very conveniently located from town for walkers, which we like. Very clean. Comfortable bed.

    We booked the Paddlewheel location to be close to downtown Saugatuck, and it was more than we hoped for. The check in process was so easy because the manager contacted us via email and text days before our visit with detailed instructions. The location was so quiet and peaceful, but close enough to all the shops and restaurants to walk. The checkout was just as easy as check in. We have already discussed staying here again in the future!

    This was a last minute trip. We were supposed to go to Florida, but with Hurricane Helene in the forecast we decided to head north instead. Saugatuck and the Star Studio at Paddlewheel Properties was the perfect choice! The apartment was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was located within easy walking distance to all restaurants and shopping. And, of course, the Star of Saugatuck is right next door. We loved sitting at the table and watching the boats move up and down the river. It's an easy drive to beautiful Oval Beach, wineries, orchards and picturesque lighthouses in neighboring towns.

    My sister and I took full advantage and made the most of our one night stay. We thoroughly enjoyed time spent in our beautiful, spotless, updated, unit with a great view of the Kalamazoo River as well as time spent out and about. We did some light shopping, had lunch with friends, spent a couple hours at Oval Beach, experienced an incredible sunset aboard the Star of Saugatuck. .

    This place was beautiful, clean and accessible! It is connected to the boat tour, which we didn’t know anything about when we came a couple of years ago. It is walking distance to the all the area has to offer but set away enough for when we were ready for quiet. The view out the window was great and we also didn’t have to be concerned with parking. Everything was perfect!
