The newly renovated kitchen features sleek cabinetry, modern appliances, and everything you need to cook at home, whether you're prepping a casual breakfast or a gourmet dinner.

A large stone patio invites you to dine alfresco, fire up the grill, or simply relax with a drink in the Adirondack chairs as the soothing sounds of a waterfall trickle into the koi pond nearby.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. The garage has been transformed into a game lounge that both kids and adults will love.

We really enjoyed our stay at Douglas Darling! The house was well stocked with everything we needed. I especially liked sitting in the backyard with the koi pond. We loved being able to walk to downtown Douglas to go to some art galleries and go to the farmer’s market on Tuesdays. I communicated with our host, Chad, prior to our arrival as I had some questions and he responded promptly.
Our family really enjoyed the house and its location. With four bedrooms our teenaged grandchildren enjoyed their own rooms. We grandparents stayed on the first floor. The house is located a few blocks from Main St, Douglas and a mile from Saugatuck. This gave us all tons to do as we chose. It was very HOT when we were there so the air conditioned game room came in handy.
