    The house is in such a great location. Super close to downtown, yet in a quiet neighborhood. House had all we needed.

    We had a wonderful time visiting all the small towns of Michigan. We brought our bikes and hit a lot of the trails. Enjoyed the amenities of the home as well as the cleanliness of the towns.

    We had the most amazing stay at this adorable and cozy home in Saugatuck for Mother’s Day weekend! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home—the house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable trip. The charming details, peaceful setting, and thoughtful touches made it the perfect spot to celebrate and unwind. We loved how close it was to town while still feeling like a private little retreat. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with all the cozy vibes, this is the place. We’re already talking about when we can come back!

    Everything everyone has said in the comments is true. The house is big, lots of room, and the house was well equipped. The house was outfitted with higher end furniture, appliances, kitchenware, well worth the money. The only thing we were not too excited about was having to figure out the TV, they did not have any cable or channels you could just turn on - had to mirror your phone and use that on the TV. Overall, a great place!!

    The Maple House was the best place my family has stayed in Saugatuck over the years. We’ve been to many different VRBO’s as we live coming to Saugatuck. All were very nice, but this one fit my family best and the fenced in backyard was great, so we could bring our dogs. Clean and well organized directions for everything. Will definitely come back.

    Came here for a family wedding at the Ivy House. Perfect location for the venue and close to downtown Saugatuck and local beaches. This was one of the cleanest vacation rentals we ever stayed at. Beautiful grounds and very roomy. Highly recommend for a relaxing vacation home.

    We loved the screened in porch for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would have liked to walk to town, but we ended up driving to shop, eat and walk the shoreline. The host of the Maple House thought of everything a traveler could need and the house was so tastefully decorated. An added benefit, the property is dog friendly with a fenced in yard. Great holiday experience.
