The perfect location! The Postcard Cottage in the heart of downtown Douglas.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Perfectly located just steps from downtown Douglas. The Postcard cottage is a sun filled bright space with its modern and vintage charm that has everything you might need to make your getaway more enjoyable. This walkable quaint village is the midwest destination for beach lovers and art enthusiasts. Douglas offers some of the best art galleries in west Michigan including just steps away from J. Petter Gallery, wine bar and wine shop with over 400 plus wines, Water Street Gallery, The Button Gallery and more.

Oval beach, with its stunning views, sandy beach and breathtaking sunsets, is known as one of the top 25 beaches in the world by Conde' Nast Travelers, only a short car or bike ride away. Take a stroll or bike ride to Douglas Beach with a paved pathway from the cottage. On your way stop at the iconic Root Beer barrel for a quick lunch served out of a giant root beer barrel building or across the street is the Woosah store and Outside Coffee Co.

This 2 bedroom 1 bath vintage charmer with its white picket fence is an art filled gem with all your modern amenities of today. The Postcard Cottage is a perfect location for a family/group of 4 or a romantic couples getaway.
The well appointed kitchen is stocked full and equipped with stainless steel appliances for your use. There are 2 bedrooms each with queen beds and ample closets/storage. The spacious bathroom is located off the primary bedroom and features a large soaking tub with a fully tiled shower, marble tiled flooring and lighted makeup mirror. There is also a washer and dryer available for your use.

PLEASE NOTE: ACCESS TO THE BATHROOM IS ONLY THROUGH THE PRIMARY BEDROOM.

There is a beautiful large zen like screened in back porch to enjoy your morning cup of coffee with a good book or a glass of wine. In addition there is a sweet front porch with a view of the Kalamazoo River. Take an afternoon stroll through this quaint quiet neighborhood or walk a block away to enjoy a cup of coffee at Respite Cappuccino Court, breakfast at Happy Stance or cocktails at Everyday People among other choices. Also a 1/2 block away is the iconic Back Alley Pizza Joint. Wander just a few blocks away to Wades Bayou, where you can rent a paddle board or kayak and explore Lake Kalamazoo.

One of our favorites is the Farmhouse deli in Douglas, offering everything from house made soup/sandwiches, bakery, salads to prepared meals, perfect to pack a picnic lunch. Also, Saugatuck is just a short walk or bike ride across the bridge with additional boutique shops, eateries and galleries.

Less than a 15 minutes away from Douglas are the best wineries and more including Modales Winery, Fenn Valley Winery, and Virtue Cider. Head over to Cranes Orchard to buy or pick apples, stay for lunch and don't forget a pie flight for dessert. Enjoy a trip to Evergreen Lane Creamery to taste the best local goat cheeses. Also in season enjoy a trip to Summer House Lavender farm with a gift shop full of amazing soaps, essential oils and lavender bouquets.
