The Roost at The Southerner

Adorable pet-friendly cottage within walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and all it has to offer. Main room offers a gas fireplace, TV and full kitchen with a pull-out loveseat and space to dine. Queen bed in bedroom, ensuite bath with shower and laundry room. A/C, ceiling fans & shady setting. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + pets. Be sure to take advantage of the popular restaurant The Southerner right next door. The restaurant can be quite busy in the summer so there's fantastic people watching from your private patio but it ends service at 10pm so no late night noise or commotion.

Cleanliness was top notch. I’m picky with a clean place and this passed the test. The host responds quickly, resolves any issues immediately, and does whatever she can to ensure your stay is perfect. The fireplace is great for adding a little extra warmth on a chilly morning. The ample supply of towels and wash clothes was appreciated. The heated bathroom floor made me realize what I was missing in my own bathroom. The location is perfect as it is a quick walk downtown but far enough out for a little peace and quiet. If going to the Saugatuck area I highly recommend this spot.

The fireplace was not operable as the remote seemed to need batteries. We have come here twice before and usually find more accessories like coffee pods, paper towels ect. But all in all a great experience.
