    The property was very clean, no smelly air freshener! and so very close to town. The home was very comfortable and more than enough space for 8 adults. The kitchen is spacious and the backyard is beautiful. There are two bathrooms on the main floor that have been remodeled and are very nice. No bathrooms on the second floor. The website should be updated to state that not all beds are queen size but rather full size. There is a bit of a trip hazard between kitchen and dining room. I would recommend this house.

    All railings are loose… suggest a motion light in kitchen near the steps… people tripping on it… otherwise it’s a nice place… clean carpeting needed…

    Location was perfect to downtown and wedding venue. Very nice and quaint neighborhood. Older home and interesting layout; bathrooms in odd locations, but decent & clean. Could use some extra blankets in bedrooms and family rooms.

    3 generations of our family stayed at Frances Cottage for a full week. Children ages 4-10, their parents, and the grandparents. This place gave us plenty of space to sleep, socialize, and just have fun. It has a well appointed kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a big kitchen table where we could eat and play games (lots of games are provided) and plenty of TVs and movies. The backyard is generous and has a fire pit. The location is within walking distance of the downtown area and other activities just a short drive away. It’s in a beautiful neighborhood. Now no property is perfect so that’s where my second praise comes in. We had a minor issue or two and the management company responded quickly and cheerfully. They also sent helpful text reminders to make sure we knew how to get in and check out. Just great service. We loved our stay and recommend it without hesitation.

    We will be staying here again. Friendly host and had things you need on a day to day basis while on vacation like shampoo, soap, laundry pods, etc. They were outstanding, anytime I had a question or issue they responded in a few minutes. The location of this specific property was great. One minute walk from downtown Saugatuck and a couple minute drive to many beaches it had everything we could want. Spent most of our time wandering around Saugatuck, visiting coffee shops, parks, and local marina. It was a great experience all around.

    Perfect house for families who want to walk to town, fix family meals in a large kitchen, or spend the day at the beach and clean up in the tub or shower! The house was even better than expected and we would definitely visit again!

    We had a great time during our trip! This place is clean, week-supplied, and has lots of little places for people to hang out. Our teens like the two living areas to play video games. The fire pit area is big and we used it every night. The kitchen is really well-stocked and lots of little touches made it really nice. If you have mobility issues, you should be aware that it’s at the top of a hill, but it was fine for all of us. Totally worth it for the great location. Also, there are step-ups into some rooms/spaces. The driveway was skinny so we parked four deep and had to move cars when anyone needed to leave. The owner lives above the garage- really nice guy and he checked on us. He gave us advice on places to go and told us about Saugatuck. .
