3 generations of our family stayed at Frances Cottage for a full week. Children ages 4-10, their parents, and the grandparents. This place gave us plenty of space to sleep, socialize, and just have fun. It has a well appointed kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a big kitchen table where we could eat and play games (lots of games are provided) and plenty of TVs and movies. The backyard is generous and has a fire pit. The location is within walking distance of the downtown area and other activities just a short drive away. It's in a beautiful neighborhood. Now no property is perfect so that's where my second praise comes in. We had a minor issue or two and the management company responded quickly and cheerfully. They also sent helpful text reminders to make sure we knew how to get in and check out. Just great service. We loved our stay and recommend it without hesitation.

We will be staying here again. Friendly host and had things you need on a day to day basis while on vacation like shampoo, soap, laundry pods, etc. They were outstanding, anytime I had a question or issue they responded in a few minutes. The location of this specific property was great. One minute walk from downtown Saugatuck and a couple minute drive to many beaches it had everything we could want. Spent most of our time wandering around Saugatuck, visiting coffee shops, parks, and local marina. It was a great experience all around.

The house is beautiful and a very short walk to restaurants and shops downtown. My only warning is that the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are steep and wooden. This wasn't an issue for us as there were bedrooms downstairs to choose from too but I think it's worth knowing depending on your family's mobility.
Thank you for being so friendly and helpful. I appreciated the texts before and during our trip to remind me of details for check in/out.

We had a great time during our trip! This place is clean, week-supplied, and has lots of little places for people to hang out. Our teens like the two living areas to play video games. The fire pit area is big and we used it every night. The kitchen is really well-stocked and lots of little touches made it really nice. If you have mobility issues, you should be aware that it's at the top of a hill, but it was fine for all of us. Totally worth it for the great location. Also, there are step-ups into some rooms/spaces. The driveway was skinny so we parked four deep and had to move cars when anyone needed to leave. The owner lives above the garage- really nice guy and he checked on us. He gave us advice on places to go and told us about Saugatuck.

We love this property- second time staying here. Location is perfect, house amenities are exactly what we need. Kitchen well-equipped, grill and fire pit served as our go-to relaxation place. House is old, but very clean. We appreciated the upgrades from last year (new kitchen floor or countertops; new living room furniture. Owners are doing a great job maintaining this property. Text messaging is great. You were very responsive to our questions. Your staff was also very helpful and professional during the whole rental process. Thank you for making our vacation easy to plan and enjoy!

The five of us had a wonderful getaway at the Frances Cottage in Saugatuck. The cottage was conveniently located and within walking distance to town for shopping, dining and walks along the river. Uncommon coffee Roasters was one of our favorite early morning walks for our special brewed coffee. Our check-in was slightly delayed because the cottage is being totally renovated but the management company provided a partial refund for our first day. They were very responsive. Randy was a great host and the upgrades to the cottage are beautiful. We would highly recommend this VRBO to others. Thank you for the wonderful weekend.

We are group of 10 friends that worked together and are, let's just say over 50. We get together monthly and sometimes let the hubbies join. Not this time. The kitchen/dining area was PERFECT for this eat, drink and be merry, (and loud) friend group. Just enough sleeping spaces and clean well appointed home. Great neighborhood! 9 min walk to town. We even had the local high school Homecoming parade pass us and throw candy. Kitchen has large fridge and several coffee pots, (thank you). Great weekend!

The house was in a lovely, quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to town. There was plenty of space, everyone was comfortable. The backyard has a big patio and a nice fire pit. Despite the appliances appearing to be almost brand new, we had a problem with the dishwasher when we first arrived. The management company was responsive and got it taken care of within a day. We would happily stay again.

Great location within walking distance of downtown Saugatuck. House is a well-maintained century home. Very well-equipped with a nice back yard featuring a deck and patio with a nice fire pit. Kitchen had everything a family needed to prepare meals. Bathrooms were clean and very functional for an active family. Bedrooms were comfortable. Driveway easily accommodated three cars. Was on the Fourth of July parade route! Lots of fun for the kids. Plan to rent again.
