Historic Saugatuck -Walk to Lake, Shops and Dining

Everything you could ever want in a secluded oasis. The place was very clean and had every amenity you can think of. Highly recommend

Very convenient to every thing we wanted to do and see. Beautiful home, clean comfortable.A great value.

Over all it is a great rental very nice place with a great storyline about when and how the home was built. Would highly recommend the house. We had a family wedding in the area and our entire family was able to stay in one place.

I liked the size of this property. There was enough space for my family of 10. Kids loved the big yard. I didn't like all the insects/critters inside the house. The house felt abandoned.

We used the house for a getaway night with 3 other couples. It was perfect!

This place is a gem. The history of this location, the energy, the rooms all have a distinct feel of home. Communication with the owner was seamless and very receptive. I only stayed one night but I am looking forward to booking a week stay. Such a wonderful place to stay.

Elizabeth House is very charming and we appreciated the history! Perfect for my family to spend a night on our way through Saugatuck. Quiet setting and John was easy to communicate with.

Furnished very well , close to downtown saugatuck and not far from Holland

5 Star ***** The house is perfect for 8 guest. The backyard of the house was our favorite part. I would highly recommend a stay in this house as its close proximity to the downtown

Wonderful house to stay in very clean and welcoming

Clean rooms. Host communicated quickly and was very easy to work with. Fireplace was awesome to sit by and talk with family. The kitchen was well stocked with every pot, pan, and gadget we needed foe the weekend.

The pictures of this place don't do it justice. Very cute, cozy historical home. The fireplace in the living room was great for our November stay. Would definitely stay again

Amazing host and a beautiful destination for winter weather! JMK, was a wonderful host, very attentive to every detail. When an unexpected snowstorm hit, he shoveled us all out by hand. If you ever watched home alone 1, this house had that kind of vibe. There was beautiful art and history everywhere you looked. The weather kept us inside, but with the fully stocked game closet, the libraries, and filled to the brim with art you can google search we were well entertained. When we arrived, we were greeted by a printed history of the house, a handwritten note, and a warm fire in the fireplace. JMK, was the consummate host!

Excellent location to everything. Town had shuttles that were very cheap. Will stay here without hesitation again!

Kitchen was not very well equipped for cooking. No large bowls to mix a salad. We made out with a large pot!

The Elizabeth House was very nice, very clean. Big house 5 of us ladies stayed there. Highly recommend!!

Great place especially the layout of the house.

Enjoyed our stay. Great location.

Beautiful house with an amazing location! We were able to walk to downtown Saugatuck to do some shopping and dinner. The house was very clean and had plenty of space.

Wonderful overnight stay for student leaders on retreat. Plenty of bathrooms and beds and spaces to play games.

Beautiful home and yard, excellent location!! Would definitely return!!

Our blended family had a great time at this house. John was amazing and very attentive when/if needed! The house was clean, large, and had plenty of towels, toilet paper, paper towels, etc, for our large family to stay for 3 nights. Highly recommend! Thank you again, John!

Enjoyed the stay and home. Owner very responsive and was sincere in making us feel welcomed in lovely location. Thank you!

very clean and beautiful home with so much character. Has all you may need except soap, shampoo, lotion so be sure to pack those. we will be back

Wonderful stay for two nights. Plenty of bedrooms for a full family plus friends. Backyard is huge with a nice deck/patio with outdoor games and a beautiful fire pit. Very convenient location, near everything. Only complaint is that two of the four bedroom window air conditioners are incredibly loud and we were unable to use them as they kept us awake. There were ceiling fans that did help in those two rooms. If the AC units are replaced/updated we would have no complaints. The owner left a very detailed note upon check-in with direct cell phone to contact in case of issues. I would not question staying here again.

We (8 women) had a wonderful time staying in this old house with lots of character. We spent most of the time outside on the deck (quiet and private due to the greenery). The house is close to the beach, town, restaurants, and activities. It was well stocked including plenty of bath towels and beach towels. We recommend the Interurban bus (call in advance), Oval Beach, Dune Rides, Fenn Valley Vineyards, and the Windmill Island Gardens.

This is a beautiful home with tons of space for large families vacationing together. My only complaint is the air conditioning was not on when we arrived at the property, and the house was about 84. We got there late and wanted to go right to bed, but it was just too hot to be comfortable. My recommendation for the property owner would be to make sure the air is running so their guests are comfortable upon arrival. I'm sure it's expensive to cool a house down this size, but that could be a deal breaker for me in the future.

JMK was great! He was easily communicative and so helpful. Absolutely recommend! An extra perk is how well decorated the home is :)

Girls stay. House had a lot of history and character.

The house was excellent. Location to our wedding venue and downtown was great. House was very comfortable for 4 couples. I would do again in a second.

The property was beautiful! We stayed one night, but the house was clean. It had everything we needed plus the space we needed. Instructions and keys were given to us immediately. It made the stay plus check in and check out extremely easy.

We stayed for a weekend bachelorette party. House was close enough to walk into town but far enough away to get a good nights sleep. Beds were very comfortable and everyone enjoyed their stay.

The property was charming amd full of character. We were there to stay for a bachelorette party. The house was a 15 minute walk to downtown Saugatuck, which was great. The house was full of everything you would need. The outdoor area was great for outdoor eating and general hanging out.

We were shocked at how nice this house was. Large bedrooms with antiques and tons of art. A second kitchen/5th bedroom & 3 sitting rooms! Sadly, the outside no longer looks like the photis. Very overgrown. Neighborhood perfect and even had a family of deer come say hi. Weren't planning on returning.

We were attending a wedding and reception at Ivy House and didn’t want to drive back to GR afterwards. This was very conveniently located, just 2 mins from the venue. There was plenty of room for 4 couples, and the host was able to get us in early so we could fr and change. Great visit and would stay again, thanks!

This place was exactly what we needed for our short stay. The history of the house was great to read about. Everything was what we expected from the details. The owner was very prompt with information and answered any questions we had. Property was beautiful and everyone in the family loved the stay. Definitely would recommend and will hopefully return again one day for a longer visit.

Although we only spent one night at Elizabeth house our stay was perfect! This home is very large with all the nooks and crannies that I personally love plus comfortable beds, oodles of books to read, tons of cool artwork and other things to look at but I wouldn’t recommend staying here with little ones who don’t yet have the control or ability to keep their hands to themselves! Check in was effortless and we were greeted with a lovely fire going in the fireplace! Would definitely stay again!

Elizabeth house is a charming historical home right in beautiful Saugatuck. It was the perfect choice for a one night stay after our cousin's wedding.

The house is quaint with historical charm. By all accounts the beds were comfortable. We stayed in the winter and so can't speak to the outside amenities. We also didn't travel into town, so I can't speak to that either. The only criticism is that the elders in the family had a hard time finding the house as it is back off the road and the numbers are nailed up on a tree. Admittedly, I also had a moment looking for the house, but I was looking during daylight hours so it was easier to find. Everyone enjoyed the house in all of its charm. My six year old was fine, but if you have toddlers, you may need to be on high alert as there are a lot of pieces of art and objects that little hands would love to grab. There are two bedroom on the first floor, that we put the elders in so they didn't have to navigate the stairs. One was a King and the other was either a Queen or a Full bed. Upstairs is a King four-poster and a Full bed in the next room. Would recommend.

We really used the house well as we gathered for a wedding - loved the historic houseThe fireplace was lovely and the whole living room/kitchen/dining room was a good place to gather, make food and visit

A group of friends and I reserved The Elizabeth House for an all-girls holiday board party. It was such a cozy location and all 8 of us kept commenting how we want to come back in the summer. It's an amazing location. The house is huge! Majority of our time qas spent in the living/dining area which was a little cramped for a large party but as long as yiur group all likes eachother it makes for a better time ;) Service is a little spotty and we had some issues with the wifi (could have been user error) but it didn't hinder our stay. The only thing that could have made the stay better is a bluetooth speaker - we forgot ours! And, if there was one we couldn't find it. PS the beds are SO comfy!

It was a nice place to stay while we had Christmas at my sisters.

Wonderful experience.

The Elizabeth house was cozy and charming! Lots of bedroom space for plenty of guests and had all the furnishings we needed. The host was informative, helpful and easy to get a hold of if needed. Thank you for a great stay! Multiple people in our party said they would book again!

Trip was planned last min and everything was still great.

There were 8 of us adults in town for a wedding. The property was clean and fresh! No old home smell which my sister is always worried about! 😂 Oh and thanks for having Static Guard in the laundry area! Life saver!! The only bummer was the TV situation as the guys wanted to watch the football game, but were unable to due to no cable. Otherwise, it was a great location and property! Tip: If you are coming home when its dark leave a light on outside! It gets quite dark in the driveway area!

Truly a place with history. This 1834 home reminds me of the literary works by Vernon Lee, and is the perfect accommodation for art, history, and literature buffs - who will find the charming nooks and crannies of this house perfect for getting lost in. Although there are plenty of modern amenities, we were delighted to be surrounded by beautiful traditional Persian rugs, glowing oil paintings, and various vintage tchotchkes. Coming back to this romantic house after coffeeshop and bookstore-hopping was the perfect ending to our time in Saugatuck. We were a small group and very much enjoyed the opportunity to take a step back in time. Thank you, John Matthew for your gracious hospitality, we will definitely be back!

Good overnight stop for us but prob would not do longer No large seating area and no shower toiletries. The window AC units could be updated. Kitchen was well stocked however bring your own coffee. Some bedrooms needed blinds Vs sheer curtain .

We love the house and location and overall it was fine. There were wet clothes left in washing machine and it looks like dishes got put away dirty. There were also dirty dishes in dishwasher. We also had very little communication from our host, compared to what I get with most hosts.

The location was great and the size of the house was accommodating for the 7 of us. The sheets were clean and the beds were comfortable. Great firepit.

Property was in process of being cleared. I was embarrassed as my friends were driving from all over the state to meet after 50 years. I was finally able to get ahold and was told he thought we weren’t coming until tomorrow. As we waited he cleaned the upper floor and had to leave and come back later to finish. House was still dirty. Dusty and grout upstairs bathroom dirty. There was a smell of fish coming from kitchen.

I rented the Elizabeth house for my daughter and her Bridal party to stay the night before her wedding at the Ivy House and then our family stayed there after the wedding. It was such a quaint, fun, historic house with all the needed space, close to the venue and well appointed for all we needed. Enjoyed a bon fire and relaxation the night before with 11 of us (as we used an air mattress for one person). The driveway is long so could hold all our cars. I would recommend this for any group looking for a great place to stay in Saugatuck

Lovely. Like going back in time. The home was very large and quite grand. We really enjoyed our stay. There’s a barbecue pit and volleyball court plus there’s bikes for everyone!

I booked this trip for a weekend in Saugatuck with my former coworkers for a mini reunion. It was the perfect location and size for our group of six. There was plenty of room to spread out. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure in the showers was great. It is walkable to downtown, probably around a mile. It is an old historic home but is nicely decorated, and it was very clean. The patio in the back and the outdoor fire pit are amazing! We had no issues during our weekend rental. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a rental for a group.
