Step down into the professionally landscaped backyard to enjoy the fire pit and Adirondack chairs while surrounded by gorgeous majestic evergreens. Beyond the fire pit, take a stroll through our private walking path into our forest. You will also find a charcoal grill and an enclosed garage where we keep multiple bicycles onsite for your enjoyment.

THE LOCATION
The quaint town of Douglas is just a short 10-15 minute walk from the house, where you will find several great restaurants, bars, art galleries, and boutiques, as well as access to kayaking. You are also a stone's throw from the local grocery store, and two wonderful artisanal food markets (The Farmhouse Deli and Isabel's Market). Douglas Beach is a 5-minute drive west of the house, and the bustling town of Saugatuck is also just minutes by car or a short bike ride away. Fruit farms in nearby Fennville offer a fun summer/fall activity for families and for those who are active, there is plenty to do in both summer and winter: hiking the Saugatuck Dunes State Park year-round, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, or taking a pontoon boat out on the Kalamazoo River in summer/fall and cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in winter are among some of the more popular activities.

A beautiful, updated, well stocked home that met the needs of our extended family perfectly for a long weekend. Loved the view of the woods from the deck! Ideal location - a short walk into Douglas and a short drive into Saugatuck. Very communicative and responsive property manager. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
We had a wonderful stay at Douglas Woods Retreat. The house is even better than what it looks like in the pictures. The house was sparkling clean, great kitchen utensils, comfortable bedrooms. The communication with the property managers was very prompt and helpful. No complaints, only gratitude!
Cute house that meets all your needs, stylishly. Nice little quiet place for a little getaway. Backyard is great and secluded. Property has easy access to all your favorite Douglas/Saugatuck locations.
The house was clean and conveniently located. We walked and biked to Douglas. The bikes were put to good use.
Cute, clean, well supplied kitchen, nicely decorated. Nice seating on the deck with an umbrella and citronella candles. Nicce supply of of hangers in closets. Overall a pleasant stay. Driveway space somewhat limited for visitors. Suggestions: Note said cushions were available, but were not found, but were there the previous year. Guest bath tub drain was plugged with hair at beginning of stay.
Excellent Service Recovery!!!
The home was the perfect amount of space for our family of five. The layout with primary bedroom on one side, and two bedrooms on the other, each with their own baths, was great. The living space was a super comfortable gathering spot. I left a voice mail during weekday business hours and my call was not returned. The issue was ants on the property who were very keen on getting into our food. They seemed to prefer sugar and completely infested a closed box of cereal. I did move food and put as much as possible in the refrigerator, which helped, although I did still see some ants around. I was wondering if the ant bait/traps might need to be replaced?
Fantastic location; property is just as shown in pictures. Cute decor, great backyard and fire pit. Well-equipped+ bikes, which is a nice touch.
Property was clean and exactly as advertised.
This was our first time in the Douglas/Saugatuck area so we were not sure how convenient our location would be when we booked this house. We were thrilled to find that we were minutes to everything! You could walk to the quaint little town of Douglas or ride one of the bikes that were available at the house. The house was nicely laid out with wonderful amenities. We enjoyed the back deck and fire pit, but make sure you load up on the bug spray because the bugs are bad this time of year. There is a grill but be sure to bring charcoal because it is not a propane grill. We actually grilled our hamburgers over the open fire by using a grate that was available near the grill. We only used the two bedrooms with the queen beds. The beds have a mattress but no box spring and are very hard. That was something that we had trouble adjusting to but it was only for 5 nights and everything else about the property was wonderful!
