This was a beautiful property in which the owner, Retro Rob, has done everything right to make your stay welcoming and relaxing. The rooms are simple but you have everything you could need and more. And you can use the $1 bus service, the Interurban, to go all over Saugatuck/Douglas.

This is a nice looking property with pretty landscaping, and plenty of spaces to be social with other guests. The staff was nice, though office hours are limited. The room had a bed, large dresser, small refrigerator, microwave and bathroom. Two chairs outside each room in front of the cars. I always like to have a table and chairs in my room. The only seating option inside the room, is on the bed. The location is convenient and the bike bath runs right along. There is a coffee and bike shop with rentals close by too.

I was going to have a later check-in, Rob called to check on my drive and see how we were and how much longer it was going to be before we were there. He left a local map for us and spent time talking to us to make sure we knew where to go for dinner and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic! The rooms were cute, very well kept, and very clean. Wonderful place to stay!!
