    We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at this gem of a property. The house with all its amenities plus the gorgeous gardens were a delight. We plan to book here again. Very clean and modern and very reasonably priced for all that it has to offer!

    We had a fantastic stay at Dogwood Creek! The home is beautiful, and we especially loved the gorgeous back yard. The owners were so kind and easy to communicate with, and they were especially accommodating of my questions as I was planning to bring along my infant - we were so thankful they already had a pack n play and high chair at the ready! We made incredible memories with our family and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Saugatuck! As a family of four, we had more than enough space—and it would easily accommodate another family as well. The home is spacious, impeccably decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed, creating a perfect mix of style and relaxation.The location is fantastic—tucked in a peaceful spot, yet just minutes from all the charm and activity of Saugatuck, Fennville, Douglas, and Holland. We even made a quick day trip to Chicago! One of the highlights was visiting Oval Beach—an absolute gem and a must-see if you're in the area.This home is perfect for a family getaway to Michigan’s western coast, and we would recommend it without hesitation. We’re already dreaming of our next trip back!

    Beautiful home with plenty of room for families or groups with pockets for quiet time, if needed. Well equipped and THE cleanest home we've stayed in. This is our second stay and completely enjoyable.

    My family had the opportunity to stay at Dogwood Creek and they had such a wonderful time!! The gardens are so beautiful, the location is perfect and lucky for them was a short 3 minute drive from my wedding venue! This was their first time in Saugatuck and now definitely won’t be the last. Thank you Dan and Elissa!!

    My family and I have stayed at many VRBO’s. More expensive and less expensive. This was by far our favorite! The house layout is perfect. With lots of areas to spread out! The beds were super comfortable. The amenities top notch! I would love to know where you bought your towels. Huge and extremely comfortable screened in porch over looking a meticulous yard. The property is in an outstanding location. Very homey feel but classy, decor. Not a negative thing to say! Thank you for a most enjoyable is it!

    House is beautiful! Would have loved to have the porch enclosed or heated. Glass tables were beautiful but not good with a 2 year old. Kitchen was great but missing commonly used utilities such as spatula and big spoons for sauces and stirring. Rooms looked larger on the website but worked. Don’t recall seeing on the web that the temp was preset Yard was amazing! We had a wonderful time!

    The yard is simply perfect - the landscaping, the lawn, the screened-in porch, the fire pit - everything you want in a place to escape and get some fresh air.
