Pier Cove Farm House W/ Private Beach & Wooded Trails Near Saugatuck /Douglas

We were in town for a cousin reunion. Used this home to sleep and shower. Great location. Owner is sweet. Told us the home was built in 1870.

Lovely old farmhouse with charm and modern conveniences. Fully stocked for whatever you would need. And even though there was only one shower, the additional enclosed, outdoor shower was a hit with our group! The beach was right across the street, a short walk down the stairs. Lovely sandy beach, but you might need water shoes as the shoreline is a bit rocky. Easy drive to Saugatuck, Holland, and South Haven.

Very nice older farm hose with plenty of space indoors and out. Loved the screened-in porch, back deck and functional kitchen. Entire family loved the private beach and deck overlooking the lake. Owners are exceptional people who helped enhance our stay.

My family and I stayed at the Gauntlet House to celebrate all of our May and June birthdays. We had a wonderful stay! Celeste and Dexter are wonderful hosts and their property is perfect. We will absolutely be back in the future!

A great place to spend a relaxing weekend get-away with friends and family. I enjoyed the sunset from the private deck and my son loved the beach. The mattresses were very comfortable so I had a great sleep at night. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. I will definitely revisit the place again. Thank you Celeste!

What an amazimg location. Pics do not do justice. House is immaculate, nearby attractions amazing, private beach across street spectacular, and hosts gracious and lovely. Highly recommend.

My wife and her sister decided to have a joint family vacation. We researched most of the western Michigan coast before stumbling upon the Gauntlet House listing. This location ended up exceeding our expectations. The house is older, but equipped with modern kitchen/laundry appliances and air conditioning. Our kids especially enjoyed the option for indoor or the outdoor shower, after hours spent at the private beach. The location is perfect if you want to stay away from crowds, but also only few minutes from multiple activities and dining in Saugatuck/Douglas, Fennville, or Holland. Best family vacation we have ever planned.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 4 children. The private beach was perfect. The deck overlooking the water was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning. The hosts could not have been kinder or more accommodating. We will definitely return for a longer stay.

This beautiful old farmhouse was a true joy to stay in the past several days. The house is tucked away in the woods with direct access to the lake. The neighborhood is perfect and we felt perfectly safe walking miles around the property each morning on our workouts. There is even a great nature preserve up the street to explore. The house is within several miles of town as well as all the great breweries (Virtue!) and wineries. So fun!! We saw deer, baby turkeys, rabbits, and lots of fish! My favorite spot was definitely the hammock in the backyard, which is perfectly placed under a canopy of trees. Celeste and Dexter are awesome hosts and the house was clean and comfortable! Will for sure be back!!

The Gauntlett house is very charming, clean and location is very private. My hope is that my family make it a tradition to come back here!
