If you want to experience living in a vintage 20's cottage in Saugatuck, Big Blue is the answer . Big Blue is a charming refurbished vintage 1920's cottage on the Hill, with all the eccentricities of an older home.

There are three large bedrooms, 2 queens and 1 set of twins, all with lovely wooden floors. The upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combination and tile floors. The galley-size bathroom on the first floor has a step-in tiled shower and tile floors. The large livingroom/dining room has the original walnut paneling, with antique oak dining table and chairs and wicker and rattan couch and chairs. There is a screened in porch through the sliding glass doors in the dining room where you can sit and have your morning coffee and listen to the birds. The kitchen is huge, completely furnished, with lots of counter space for cooking or projects.

Rainy Days Connect to WIFI, stream your favorite channels or play any of the numerous games and puzzles.

Outside are 3 different decks, all attached with 2 different seating options. The huge back yard has mature trees and plants and is so peaceful. Big Blue comfortably fits 6 people with plenty of space to do your own thing. There is a washer, dryer, and high chair.

THE FIREPLACE IS NON-OPERATIONAL AND WE DO NOT ALLOW FIREPITS.

We love dogs!. As there is not a fenced in backyard, we ask that you be outside with them. We do have a pet fee.

Big Blue is just 7 blocks from downtown Saugatuck; an easy walk to shopping and restaurants. Plenty of parking on site (but don't park under the walnut tree--those can dent your car or head).

Parking is not an issue as you will have the whole driveway to yourselves.

Saugatuck has recently passed strict Short Term Rental Ordinances. We are in a quiet residential neighborhood and Quiet Time is from 11:00 on.

Please observe the 11:00 quiet time ordinance.

Big Blue has a 6 person occupancy limit determined by the Fire Department. Please observe this limit.

    This was our third time staying at Big Blue and we love it! Very clean, quiet, conveniently located near shops and restaurants, and the owners are friendly and communicative. We love Saugatuck in the fall and can’t wait to come back next year!

    This was a comfortable place to stay for a family reunion- we had four adults and two kids staying in the house and everyone had plenty of space. The kitchen was adequate to prepare meals and the backyard was scenic. Location was perfect to walk into town.

    You can’t beat the location. Downtown Saugatuck was only a couple of blocks away. Very convenient to stores and restaurants. Our hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay at Big Blue was comfortable.

    Charming home with plenty of space and within walking distance of all the shops and dining options in Saugatuck. The front porch was a favorite spot to relax and enjoy morning coffee. Chris and Ernie are wonderful hosts and made the check-in and check-out process extremely easy. Would definitely recommend if you are staying in Saugatuck.

    **Pros: - Great location - The cottage matches the description - Very clean - Easy walk to town **Cons: - The cottage is tiny and dated; I can touch the ceiling on the second floor. - There is no closet in the bedroom on the main floor. - A half bath on the main level was converted to a full bathroom, but it's very small, making it impossible to use the sink. - Quiet time is imposed at 10 PM, even on weekends. We were only made aware of this after we booked, which forced us to rearrange our evening plans.

    We were visiting for a weekend from out of state for some college tours. We lucked out and were able to be in town for an art/gallery hop. All if the local businesses were open and it was a perfect time to stroll the streets. On Sunday there was a chili cook off with live music. Everything was within walking distance! There was plenty of parking, the kitchen was fully stocked to prepare food at home. The accommodations were clean and perfect for our family of 4. We had a wonderful weekend and would stay here again with these most gracious hosts! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

    The house was great and just as described. On a quiet street, loved having our coffee in the morning on screened front porch, had 5 beach chairs and beach towels, lots of books and games, well stocked kitchen with regular coffee pot and keurig. Came with extra coffee and pods, honey, popcorn. Short walk to town. Would stay here again.

    My family and I loved our stay at Big Blue. The home was clean and included everything we needed for a great stay, even beach towels for a quick trip to Oval Beach. Big Blue also has a great location within walking distance to shops, restaurants and coffee shops. Our hosts were friendly and provided an easy check-in and check-out process. We’ll definitely be back!

    We spent time at the house then found time to stroll into Saugatuck. Good sized property and the owners generously left a welcome bottle of sparkling wine for us. Easy parking and a great porch surrounded by a screen. As others have said, the property is old fashioned but suited us on this occasion.
