    We loved our stay in Hilltop Cottage. The house was so welcoming, the front and side porches were fantastic, especially during an excellent Michigan thunderstorm. The location was perfect and we were able to easily walk to all the shops and restaurants. The homeowner, Kathy was a great hostess and a fantastic communicator. It was important for her to know that we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. Great stay!

    This property has everything you need! Very clean, great kitchen, lots of seating space (front porch, back screened porch, living room, etc). Quiet street, within walking distance to all the shops. Would certainly stay here again when in the area!

    Great location, walkable to downtown, great communication with owner, house is perfect. Only thing to note is you cannot walk to the beaches, however, there is an interurban bus that will take you everywhere for only 1!

    Hilltop Cottage was perfect for our family! This is our third summer of renting a home in Saugatuck and we have found our forever home! You have a peaceful and lovely oasis to spend time with your family. Mornings on the screened in porch with coffee, listening to the birds, and watching the bunnies was the best way to start the day. Our granddaughters loved this home. They had the upstairs bedroom which looked out onto the treetops where they said it felt like a treefort. The family gathering spaces couldn’t have been more perfect! We were four adults and a 5 and 7 year old. The kitchen is fully stocked. We love to cook and found everything we needed. Evenings at the picnic table for dinner were lovely. You could watch the sunset and enjoy the evening sounds. Oval Beach days were made easy by all that is available in the shed from beach chairs to umbrellas to sand toys. The peace and quiet of Hilltop Cottage was lovely to return to each day. All of this and you are two blocks from town. There is a secret passage leading to the neighborhood from the Saugatuck playground.Truly the best of all worlds at Hilltop Cottage…serenity, comfort and all you need combined with a short walk to shops, restaurants, art museum and more. Kathy is a wonderful host! All of her thoughtful touches throughout the house made it feel like home. And, so sparkling clean! Kathy was available when we had any questions and it was a delight to meet her! We will be returning. Thank you Kathy!

    This restored historic house is in a perfect location--a short walk up the hill from all of the action. The house is well set up, including lots of amenities for young ones--books, blocks, etc. We loved the beach gear, with plenty of chairs, an umbrella with sand drill, and beach toys. Having both an enclosed sun porch and an open front porch was great!
