Why you should stay here
A centrally located property in Downtown Saugatuck. This place is tidy and has everything you need for your stay. A full size fridge comes in handy with storing your beverages and leftovers ! The property manager is accessible if need be. Beds are comfortable and the showers are like home. Downstairs is The Butler Pantry for your coffee if you forgot to bring your own. You don't need to move your car since you can walk to most places. This place was just like described and we were fortunate to find this gem ! We will definitely want to come back and stay here again.

We have stayed here several times. Great loft looking over Butler. Walk to everything. Very relaxing, and the history of the building and lots of items inside the loft are really interesting. Good communication with management.

We had a wonderful time. The Interurban is a great way to get around if you don’t want to drive. We went for a hike, shopped, had amazing food, relaxed and even went to the comedy den at Coral Gables. The apartment was everything we needed!!!

Exactly what we were looking for!
This place is quirky and cozy and close to everything. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway out of the city. While it could probably use a deep clean, my family and I loved our stay.

Needs a deep clean
The pictures online portray this space as being well lit and clean. It was neither of those. The dust in the upstairs bathroom as well as a long baseboards and just in the general areas was very thick. We thought we could sleep three comfortably in here with one using the pull out bed. The pull out, however, had stains all over the sheets and was nothing but springs to sleep on. One of us ended up sleeping on the upstairs couch. It is not a pull out. The upstairs shower had mold on the floor as well as on the curtain. I would not recommend this for anyone who has allergies or anyone who likes their area to be clean.

Great Location - Fun Spot to Stay
We enjoyed this charming historic hardware building - it was fun to stay here so close to shops. It felt “homey” & we loved the decor with the antique tools and other objects. The Butler Pantry downstairs was a great first stop for coffee in the morning and last stop for cookies in the evening. If you have a hard time with stairs, that would be your only barrier to enjoying this location - 21 stairs to get to the apartment upstairs - for us, it was okay and worth the climb to stay somewhere a little different. :)

Property is very well located. Bike rental store is at the same address...we took a leisurely ride to the beach. Easy walk to downtown restaurants and shopping. Power in Saugatuck went out for a few hours our last night. I reached out to the local contact, but there were no flashlights or emergency lighting available on the property. We weren't too inconvenienced...managed with our phone lights. Would stay here again.

Terrible Stay
Once we Arrived, the Air Condition in the Unit was Broke in the Rental. This is a very old space located on the 2nd floor, and it was 85 degrees inside with no air circulation. The fans that were left to help were old and full of Dust. Only 4 windows in the whole unit even open, so it was like an oven. We contacted them to let them know that this was not safe for our kids seeing my one daughter has asthma and they said there was nothing they could do to help. To make matters worse, they then were painting the exterior or the building and paint fumes were then coming into the space. It was terrible and nobody from contact list offered any bit of help during this terrible stay. We had no choice but to leave and find another space. Hopefully they will now do the right thing and refund the money. I would not recommend this place.

Comfortable stay in the middle of everything
Loved the property and it's location. It was clean, comfortable, and has a lot of character. Needs a privacy shade in the bathroom and the parking was an issue with all the private spots occupied. I suggest the tenant leave an orange cone like some of the business owners used. There were tow away signs but they were totally ignored so most of the time we had to park a few blocks away. Parking in general is a real problem in Saugatuck so I suspect most places to stay also have the same problem unless they have their own parking lot. Overall, we hat a wonderful time!

Perfect Location
Nice stay, able to walk everywhere. Items for future guests would be 1) The second bedroom has no door, just curtains. 2). Bathroom for second bedroom is upstairs. 3) 21 stairs to climb getting up to the loft. TV has a new Roku that we could not get to work. Called for assistance and still no luck. The instructions for check out include loading the dishwasher and starting a load of laundry. There is no dishwasher and no washer/dryer there. None of these items were a problem for us, just want to let folks know. We parked the car and never used it until we left. Highly recommend the retro boat rentals, that was a blast going down the river. I would recommend this place.
