We stayed in the lower floor of the house. It has been updated and is charming and comfortable. The host has thoughtfully supplied everything that one might need for those who will be going to the beach. The location is just a few minutes walk to the Peterson Mill and the Peterson Nature Preserve, which, although small, is well worth the time for nature lovers. We saw our first green heron! The house is about a 9 minute walk to the downtown shops and restaurants. Saugatuck is a beautiful area and the house provides a great central base for your explorations.
