Welcome to Woodlands!

Escape to nature at Woodlands Cottage. This charming century-old cottage nestled under the trees in Douglas, MI rests on a beautiful four-acre tree-lined property filled with old majestic Pines and Maples.

INSIDE THE HOME
Woodlands is tastefully decorated in modern-cottage décor that includes art work from the Saugatuck region. The main floor features a full bath and the king size bedroom, upstairs there is another full bath with two bedrooms. >
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
This home currently sleeps 6 guests
First Floor Bedroom 1: King Bed
Second Floor Bedroom 2: Two Twin Beds
Second Floor Bedroom 3: Queen Bed

OUTDOOR SPACE
Relax with your morning coffee in the porched-in dining room while looking out into the woods, or relax on the back deck and soak up the sun, or build a fire and relax with a glass of wine under the century-old Maple on the patio. Enjoy the sound of the wind rustling through the forest while watching the regional birds visiting the bird feeders, and don't be surprised if you catch a glimpse of a deer or two passing through the grounds.

The Fall season is a beautiful time to stay at Woodlands cottage. The foliage on the property and in the Saugatuck/Douglas area begins to change as early as late September and the color continues through to the end of October with the peak around the second and third week of October. The house is also redecorated for the Fall with decor and art from local area businesses.

THE LOCATION
While wonderfully secluded in a serene forest setting, this quaint little country cottage is only a short bike-ride away from downtown Douglas, the Dunes Resort, and Saugatuck.

    Comfortable, clean indoor space and we enjoyed a fun weekend exploring nearby Saugatuck. Rustic, wooded setting with very nice fire pit area. Unable to get the lights to turn on in the gazebo- may have been user error. :) Inside fireplace isn’t operational.

    Rented the property for a long weekend in Michigan.Upon checking in ( which was easy with code provided) the home definitely had a distinct odor which was a combination of old, musty. The home cleanliness was subpar with easily months of dust on the floors under the beds and baseboards.While promoted with a fire pit, note that the property manager doesn’t provide any firewood and this must be obtained on your own.While we were staying the property lost power (as did most of Saugatuck). The property become inhabitable with 90 degree heat and no air conditioning or power of any variety. We requested a partial refund as we had to leave early due to this property not having any electricity for so long and being uninhabitable. The property manager is a large real estate company managing 80 properties. When texting with the property manager they were rude and unhelpful and unaccompanied. We request a partial refund due to the property becoming uninhabitable per the rental agreement, which was denied.I do not recommend staying with jaqua vacation rentals

    Reminded us of earlier times that had been modernized for convenience. Loved the sunporch with a view of the birdfeeders and the woods! The kitchen was well equipped. We wished it had been warm enough to use the gazebo. Thanks for a lovely stay.

    Cute home on a lovely wooded property very close to Saugatuck. The house looks small from the front but has lots of space inside. One large primary bedroom down with very comfortable king mattress. Full bathroom down isn’t en suite but fairly new and convenient for all. Two bedrooms up are one good size queen and a very small room with two twins. Enough bedding for changes in weather and. an extra air conditioner in the queen room if needed. Weather was a perfect 80 degrees for us every day. One note about the upstairs is that it needed a good dusting on all surfaces. The kitchen was a good size. We cooked several days and there’s plenty of kitchenware. Need more teaspoons! The dining room has lots of windows facing the well landscaped backyard which is a bird haven. Many feeders which kept the birds coming & going all day. Dining room is a great place to eat together or play games. We spent a lot of time on the back deck. Never got to light up the fire pit but it was very tempting. Gazebo was lovely! Overall a great stay for five adults in beautiful MI September weather!

    Our family enjoyed our stay in July 2024 very much. The house was clean and comfortable, with almost everything we needed. Rooms were a tad smaller than pictures seemed to show. Backyard was incredible - we really enjoyed the screened in gazebo and the bird feeders. Overall, excellent!

    We enjoyed being in a rural type setting while being a mile away from town. The only thing that would have made it more peaceful is if it was not so close to the highway. The highway noise carried even though it seemed all trees would have blocked it. We are glad it didn't rain because we might have had to enter the house through a waterfall since the gutters looked overloaded with pine needles. There was a cat hanging around the property that we wanted to bring home and take care of because it looked scared and sad but stayed away from us from fear. Please re-home that cat if you can. It looks emaciated and may have mange due to severe looking hair loss.
