Bootleggers

Bootleggers is a charming and spacious cottage perched “on the hill” in downtown Saugatuck, offering the perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and character. From this prime location, you can easily walk to quaint shops, art galleries, cafes, restaurants, and the waterfront boardwalk, where the river sparkles in the sun and the town hums with energy. Take a short drive and you'll find the soft sands and refreshing waters of Lake Michigan at Oval Beach, Douglas Beach, or Saugatuck Dunes State Park—perfect for sun-soaked days, building sandcastles, or long lakeside walks.

Inside, the home features a bright, inviting interior with a classic beach-cottage feel. The living room opens to the deck and boasts a wood-burning fireplace (available in the winter months), perfect for cozy mornings with coffee or quiet evenings watching the flames flicker. The large eat-in kitchen and dining area provide space for shared meals, while the deck overlooking the yard offers an ideal spot to enjoy a sunset cocktail, linger over a book, or simply take in the fresh Saugatuck breeze.

Outside, the spacious yard invites play, relaxation, and connection. The fire pit with Adirondack chairs creates a natural gathering spot for roasting s'mores, sharing stories, or gazing at a star-filled sky. The yard's greenery and mature trees frame the space, giving it a sense of privacy and tranquility while still being part of the vibrant neighborhood.

With its mix of light-filled interiors, expansive outdoor spaces, and thoughtful touches, Bootleggers creates a comfortable, immersive Saugatuck retreat that blends relaxation, exploration, and beach-town charm.

Please Note:
- This is a historic cottage in downtown Saugatuck. The bones are original to the house, including interior doors, wood flooring, and some windows. The floors are not always even and the doors do not line up perfectly. We hope you will enjoy these quirks.
- The street of the address of this home is not the same street you access the home from. We will give you driving directions at check-in. GPS may not take you to the home.

    We stayed in town for a wedding. The location was great and the house well suited for 7 adults and 2 kids (and two. dogs!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A few notes of improvement (but didn't impact our stay too much): 1) Consider blackout or darkening curtains, especially in the twin room where kids may stay. 2) New pans that aren't scratched and/or are flat for them to work on the stove. 3) We couldn't get the AC working. Thankfully it wasnt too hot but definitely could be a problem with hotter weather.

    Cute house, perfect size for 6 women for an extended weekend. House is older but clean, easily walkable to downtown restaurants, bars and shops.

    I didn't like the check in process. We had to go to the management office in town to check in. Also they say the check in was a little delayed because they were still cleaning the house. When we finally got into the house the floors were full of sand. I understand its a beach town, but my daughter ended up sweeping the whole house. I don't believe the floors were cleaned or swept. Also all of the beds were very old and uncomfortable. The area was great loved being close to town. The outside area was awesome and very quiet. We loved our trip, but the house was just okay.

    Location and being able to bring our dog were both huge pluses. There was plenty of space to sleep all the people the ad describes. The draw backs were: 1. The beds 2. The blinds in many of the rooms were see through so there was no way to block the view of the neighboring home when getting dressed. 3. Quality of the furniture was low (example dresser drawers were on tracks) 4. There was a huge deck with multiple tables and chairs which hadn’t been cleaned. The outdoor furniture was unusable except for what we cleaned ourselves. Although the negatives seem to outweigh the positives I would stay there again if I needed a pet friendly home near down town Saugatuck.

    It was the first time we stayed at this property. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the cottage and the privacy. The weather wasn’t conducive to utilizing the deck and fire pit so we would consider staying here again in the fall.

    Was a rainy weekend so we didn’t get to enjoy out side but it was a great location for a quick walk downtown to som bars/food. The house was clean and not far from the management office if something was needed.
