About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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 location. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + 1. 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.

The Roost was Perfect! Clean, cozy and just a few blocks from town so easy walking on sidewalks to get to town. I would stay at The Roost again and would highly recommend it to a couple traveling to this area. The cottage was exactly as described in the listing and we had everything we needed.

Such a happy place! We’ve been visiting Saugatuck for years and love it here. We had such a wonderful stay at the Roost last month we just had to come back for a last-minute, end of summer short stay (Thanks Amy!). We’ve stayed at other pup friendly places but none have been as perfect. The outside is cute, well landscaped with comfortable sitting areas for morning coffee and glowing string lights welcoming us back after an evening in town.The interior is smartly designed, nicely furnished, with essentials stocked. We appreciate the washer/dryer convenience and so important… the cottage is always well cleaned and maintained. We’re glad to share we have found our go-to home away from home here in Saugatuck, at the Roost. Looking forward to many good times ahead!

The most perfect Saugatuck stay!

As frequent travelers and having been to Saugatuck several times, not only was this our favorite Saugatuck stay yet, but one of our absolute favorite vacation rentals overall! The house was immaculate, so cozy, quiet and comfortable. The proximity to everything was wonderful-- walkable to everything downtown, yet removed enough from all of the crowds and hustle and bustle. Amy was a wonderful, communicative host and the house had everything we could possibly need and more! We cannot wait to come back and stay again-- it will be our go-to Saugatuck rental from now on!
