Ethel's House--Your Home Away from Home--Downtown Saugatuck

Ethel's House is immaculate, comfortable, convenient, charming, and very thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possible need. Lots of helpful notes provided throughout the property, terrific communication. Our family of voracious readers was blown away by the libraries, and it became a daily activity to find more treasures in the bookshelves. Super safe and quiet neighborhood, quick and easy walk to tons of shops and restaurants. One of the top VRBO properties we have booked, and we hope to return soon.

Ethel’s House was beautiful and conveniently located. We enjoyed the backyard, large windows, and mid-century modern furnishings. My wife and I both never wanted to leave. :) My father-in-law loves Saugatuck, so we can’t wait to make Ethel’s House a part of our vacation tradition. We had to drive to go to Oval Beach, Mt. Baldhead, and Douglas, but most of the main shopping, dining, and other attractions were walking distance from the house. We ate out most of the time, but had one morning of chicken and waffles, and the kitchen is FULLY stocked, including a couple of items we accidentally left! Ha! There are plenty of puzzles and games, and a professorial amount of books. As an English teacher, I found myself in my own personal heaven, with poetry books of all kinds on the shelves! Beach reads build in! Ha! But truly, it was a fantastic stay; thank you!!

We were in town for a wedding, the house was perfect for our family of five. A short walk from downtown but quiet at night. Can’t wait to return!

Ethel's House was a great place to vacation with the family. Downtown was so close with wonderful shops and art. The house was very comfortable with a nicely stocked kitchen and a beautiful yard with a fort and slide for the grandkids. We very much enjoyed our stay.

If I tell you how much we loved it then everyone will want to come! Such a delightful and charming home. Wonderful communication with Alison and David throughout our stay. And Saugatuck never disappoints.

What an ideal location to enjoy Saugatuck Michigan; we walked to everything. The home was clean, well organized and very comfortable beds for sleeping. The host was helpful for anything needed. We’re already planning to go again next year!

Great Location,very clean house with lots of charm

Ethel’s house is just as pictured! It’s located in a perfect location. You’re close enough to walk to restaurants and shops, yet off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood. It was very well equipped and the owner has thought of every amenity you may need. We were so pleased with the cleanliness of the home, the attention to detail and the comfortable beds. Thank you for a wonderful stay and great communication. We look forward to coming back!

The home was really spacious and well maintained. My family stayed there comfortably and enjoyed the games and books (lots and lots of them!) that were available. Best of all, it was a block away from downtown, which made it a lot easier for the elderly people in our group. No need to drive in. Alison was accommodating for our late checkin and maintained great communication throughout our stay. Highly recommend this home and host!

Great location in a charming 1951 home. Well maintained with all the modern amenities.

Delightful house that's a short (2 minute) walk from Saugatuck's shops / restaurants; we brought our 13 month old and found the location to be easy to navigate with a stroller. House was very comfortable, clean, and homey (and with no shortage of reading material) - was just three of us but could have easily accommodated another family. My daughter apparently loved it as well as she slept through the night both nights we stayed (a rare occurrence!) - Alison (who oversees the property) was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Was our first time in Saugatuck and adored the town and this property; we will definitely visit again, and hopefully Ethel's House will be available!

This large home was in the best possible location. Quiet residential street. Quick walk to shopping, dining, Kalamazoo River. Oh and it is gorgeous!

We loved our stay at the house! Short walk to a wonderful playground and lots of shops/restaurants. Great yard for the kids to play in too. Plenty of space for us.
