Perfect sister trip!
My sister and I stay in the Saugatuck area every year for a little getaway. It’s within driving distance to many cute little towns & we love going to Bowdies Chop House in Saugatuck. Best steaks around!

Girls Weekend
This property was very clean, cozy and well equipped to meet all of our needs during our stay. Its location is close to town, however is very private due to the trees and woods around the property. The deer visited daily.

Charming Cottage
We were looking for a place that felt like “vacation” and this place was lovely. The living room was cozy and the outdoor spaces relaxing. The porch was our favorite spot. We saw deer and wild turkey. We loved being close to Oval beach and we were able to catch the sunset. I would stay here again!

Excellent Experience
The property exceeded our expectations; it was very comfortable, clean and mostly private. There are small areas around the house to chill out and enough space inside to get the privacy you need to simply read a book, listen to the rain or take a nap. Check-in was very easy, communication was prompt and useful and the property was well maintained and documented.

Lovely little get-away
It was our first trip to the Douglas/Saugatuck area. The property is nicely situated, tucked away in a little cul de sac away from the bustle of the waterways but really close to everything. Very homey and comfortable. Lots of outside sitting areas including one with a fire pit. Wildlife in abundance! Will definitely stay again.

Wonderful Private Cottage
We had a great time at Little Stuga! Very clean set back from road which offered a quiet getaway for us to relax at the end of the day. The outside had several different sitting locations which we appreciated. After the beach the outdoor shower was lovely and we were happy sand wasn’t tracked everywhere. The care package with shampoo, soaps, lotions as well as items for the kitchen and laundry soap was a nice added touch. I highly recommend Outside Coffee across from the Root Beer Barrel and Wild Dog Grille for dinner both within 5-10 minutes of the cottage.

Adorable cottage close to the Dunes
This beautiful cottage had amazing outdoor spaces. The recliners on the screened-in porch were by far our favorite. Well equipped, well maintained, clean... it is a perfect place for a short stay near Douglas and Saugatuck. There was a lot of communication (too much) about check out time but other than that, it was a perfect experience.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay. It’s a super quick drive to Douglas Beach which we enjoyed over Oval. Less crowded with easier and free access. There’s lots to do around town for families all within 5-10 min drive. The outdoor area is very nice with multiple seating areas and a nice fire pit area. As an older home it does have a distinct smell that we got used to but smelled it on our belongings once we got home. There were also multi spiders and other bugs in and around the home. Doesn’t bother everyone but my kids did not approve of that! The house was very quiet and was stocked with what we needed.

Little Stuga
We actually really enjoyed the location of this quaint cabin. The fact that it was in the middle of the woods was an amazing surprise. The fire pit was awesome as was the outdoor shower and just the general quiet and seclusion. The only thing that we didn’t like as much was that the home was quite musty and the couch could really use replacing. I think my 4 yr old was the only one that dared to sit on it. We came home and had to do laundry all over again due to mustiness. We really appreciated the bottled water that someone had left in the fridge after traveling all the way from Chicago we were quite Thursday. We like that a lot of the basics in the home were covered Such as toilet paper and hand soap and dish soap etc.

Little Stuga is very cozy.
I have to say, Little Stuga exceeded my expectations. It was a very cozy stay. Everything was clean and there was everything that was needed. Just wish the weather would have been better so we could have enjoyed the outdoor areas. We were very disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work.

Cozy and Close
We loved the location of the Little Stuga. It was very easy to take the ferry over to Saugatuck and to drive a few minutes down the road to Oval Beach. It is a small cottage for no more than four people, two bedrooms and one and a half bath. We used the screen front porch every day and the fire pit area. Very private property.
