Historic Queen Anne Style Home In Village Of Douglas/Saugatuck-Vintage Splendor

A vintage cottage with all the amenities you can imagine. Very thoughtfully set up. Within walking distance to the Douglas downtown where you can find lovely eateries, boutique shops and galleries. It's easy to get to Saugatuk, sister town to Douglas, and to Oval Beach on Lake Michigan. Saugatuk also has many boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, parks and beautiful waterway. Both town are very dog friendly, restaurants brought out water bowls for our dog and all the shops had bowls outside their store. The people are the friendliest. Lots of entertainment and events. We enjoyed a musical at the Saugatuk theater. A little piece of heaven with the best temperatures in the country during the hottest part of summer. We would go back again!

We had a great time in Douglas. We go every year and enjoy the Douglas and Saugatuck hospitality. Ben’s home is within walking distance to just about everything. The home has two very large bedrooms upstairs that are quite comfortable. The main floor bedroom is a bit smaller, but also very comfortable. this is a perfect home for a group of friends or a family. The highlight of the house is the screened in porch. I highly recommend this home.

Booked this property for a family vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and quaint location as well as the functionality of the house and property. The property provided accommodations for all- from the screened in porch, to the outdoor fire pit/table, to the hot tub, there’s comfortable space for everyone and everything. Don’t hesitate to book this property if you’re looking for some old world hospitality!

My only concern were the steps... not great for young people or older people. But otherwise, overall good visit. Also, bed in den was not sleepable.... very uncomfortable. Owner was very communicative and helpful.

My extended family and I wanted to get together to celebrate my Mother’s and nephew’s birthdays. There were 10 of us in total. We have nothing but rave reviews for the host and our location. Originally, we looked at rentals in Saugatuck but decided on the quieter town of Douglas instead. We were so glad we did. Quiet. Quaint. Conveniently located. We did a fun excursion every day. We couldn’t have asked for more!

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood very convenient to walking downtown. The screened in front porch was a lovely place to enjoy a quiet afternoon with friends. There was a new hot tub, which we didn't use, and a wonderful fire pit with swivel chairs. The location of the downstairs bathroom relative to the bedroom is rather inconvenient since you have to walk through the dining room, sitting room, and front hall to get to the bathroom.

We had a group of three couples and this house offered everything we were hoping for. In town, comfortable, plenty of space!

Fantastic stay. Great host.

Upon arrival at Vintage Splendor I was immediately transported back to the wonderful summers I spent as a child visiting my grandmother at her summer house. Vintage Splendor is a vestige from an era when life was lived at slower pace. When days were spent enjoying an ice cold lemonade on the sun porch or doing puzzles on rainy days. Amidst the beautiful period furnishings, soaring 12-foot ceilings and claw-footed bathtubs, were more modern conveniences, like cable TV with Apple AirPlay, whole house WiFi, a sound system, bookshelves full of wonderful books and a Hot Tub on the secluded back porch. With only a five minute walk to Douglas it was easy to get to some of the area’s best restaurants like Every Day People, Wild Dog Grill and Borrowed Time. Our stay at Vintage Splendor was “Perfect” in every way and we can’t wait to come back for a future visit. Many Thanks to our gracious host Ben who made it possible for us to have a great vacation!!

We stayed at Ben's beautiful home for Labor Day Weekend The setting could not have been more perfect. The house is very charming, and so close to the beach. We loved being able to walk downtown to the restaurants in Douglas. An amazing relaxing weekend. Thank you!
