This rental is a charming, two bedroom cottage perfect for a romantic couples' get-a-way or small family vacation. It has an ideal location just two houses from downtown shops and restaurants and is secluded on a dead end,. cul-de-sac with little traffic or pedestrian noise. The cottage has a very private stone patio in the back off the master bedroom which has an umbrella table and chairs and a chimenea for romantic fires, on those cool nights. The large side yard is nicely landscaped and is a great place for a picnic, yard games or child's play. The cottage is Pet Friendly and there's even a bike rack for securing your bike. Pickleball and Tennis courts are just a few blocks away.

Being just a stone's throw from downtown you'll find yourself walking everywhere. The Cottage is also only a block away from the river and Wickes Park where you can sit and watch the river boat traffic, people watch or fish. The chain ferry is at the end of the street and can take you across the river where you can walk or ride your bike to the beach.

Having two (2) on-site parking spots is especially welcoming when you drive somewhere and come back later to find them waiting on your return and being the only two open spots anywhere around. You'll enjoy your time in this cottage and the ease of access to downtown. You'll definitely want to return.

The cottage is rented weekly during the Summer Season and nightly during the Spring and Fall with a 2 or 3 night minimum stay.

Two small dogs (20 lbs each or less or one medium sized) are allowed with the owner's approval and payment of a Pet Fee. Please read the included Pet Policy requirements; especially the need to kennel/crate your pet(s) whenever left alone in the cottage.

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect. We didn't have pets and didn't notice any evidence that this was a pet-friendly place. It's super clean! Very quick communication with friendly owners. Note: One person in our party has a back condition and felt the 3 mattresses were all very firm. The sofa was comfortable for her to sleep on with her back condition.

Another great vacation
We had another great stay at the cottage. The cottage is just perfect for us and is located within a walking distance of dowtown Saugatuck and is a quick drive for day trips to surrounding communities (Holland and South Haven to name a few). Thanks Gary and Janet - we'll see you next year.

Lovely cottage steps away from downtown Saugatuck
My family of three found this cottage ideal for a short fall getaway early October). The house was clean and stocked with essentials, and the hosts were helpful and kind. We were steps away from great restaurants, fun shops, and a nice playground perfect for our 9-year-old son. Plenty of restaurants and shops stay open in the off season, and we had the beach mostly to ourselves. We’re excited to return to Jan’s Cottage for a full week during the summer season to try out the attractions which were closed for the season, including the sand dune ride and the chain ferry.

Clean, cute, well appointed! Private location close to EVERYTHING! Only a 5 minute brisk walk to any part of Saugatuck. Didn’t have to move our car for our entire visit. Home was clean and hosts were responsive to questions and eager to make sure everything was in place for a perfect stay. I would highly recommend this place.

Jan and Gary keep this property shining clean! I slept very comfortably in the Master bedroom with sheets that are soft as butter. Also ample pillows (a real plus) I didn’t expect so I brought a couple of my own. Town is very walkable and less than a block from the cottage to begin your shopping in downtown Saugatuck. The shopkeepers are very friendly and helpful. Your hosts are available and gracious, enjoy your stay.

Love This Place!!
This was our second stay at Jan's Cottage, and it was just as we remembered it. Check in was easy and the place was clean when we arrived. The hosts are friendly and responsive and you can tell take good care of the property, including a well maintained yard w/sitting area that we would have enjoyed if it was a little warmer outside. It is located on a quiet street that is the perfect location to downtown shops/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning soon!

Saugatuck Friends Getaway
We had a delightful time staying at your property. It was just the right size for the three of us and we were delighted at the close proximity to downtown. We would recommend only a few items for your consideration. The faucet in the bathroom is quite squeaky ~ perhaps a bit of lubricant would help. And the couch in the front room is somewhat uncomfortable to sit on...not a deal breaker, just feedback. It was nice to meet you and look forward to coming back to Michigan again! Cheers, Melissa

Wonderful stay to end the summer
Jan and Gary are great hosts and communicators. The house was the perfect size for my husband and I - plus our dog. We anticipated getting in a bit later due to work and holiday traffic, and they made sure to have the AC on and sent clear instructions so we could arrive with ease. The house is in the perfect location, tidy, with nice touches like a comfy bed with extra pillows, fully stocked kitchen, and lots of brochures on local attractions and events. We loved being able to walk to town, on the boardwalk, and within the neighborhood, then come back to the quiet comforts of this home. We hope to be back again soon - Saugatuck is a magical place, and Jan and Gary’s hospitality made it even more special. Thank you!

Nice place close to downtown for a City experience while in Western Michigan. Good for a couple or a family with one or two small children. Would recommended for a these type of customers. Saugatuck in August is about the best place to be in Michigan and this home fits the experience nicely.

Great Location
My two sisters and I had sisters weekend and this very quaint town of Saugatuck, Michigan The bedding was soft, picture window in the living room, dining room and antique table and chairs big enough to have game night looking out lots of flowers outside. The only recommendation honestly would be to have more relaxing seating…. Sliding doors off of the master bedroom to sit outside in a magical garden. Gary, the owner was wonderful to deal with and made some recommendations of things to do in the area. We had a fantastic time and would go back again.
