Please note that all 3 Treetops cottage have access to its exterior amenities (hot tub, fire pit, grill and dining area, etc.)

Perched high atop the 50-foot sand dune, The Lookout boasts the best views of the harbor and downtown Saugatuck, making its screened-in sleeping porch the most coveted room in the Treetops. With plenty of living space and an eat-in kitchen, this is the perfect cottage for a small group, couple, or family of 3-4.

The Lookout comes with a spectacular location. Perched on top of a 50-foot dune, the complex is positioned directly across the lake from downtown Saugatuck. As the primary means of access to Lake Michigan, the harbor is perpetually full of boats, music, and other fun sights viewable from the cottage porches and firepit.
It’s also a short 15 minute dune hike (or 2-minute drive) to award-winning Oval Beach, named in Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 25 Beaches in the World, National Geographic Traveler’s Top Freshwater Beaches in the USA, and MTV’s Top 5 Beaches in the USA.

No one said a cottage couldn’t be luxurious. Elevate your stay with an open-concept living and kitchen space, packed with functionality, sophistication, and hand-picked amenities.

The Lookout’s spacious, gourmet kitchen includes everything a chef could need: a range, microwave, coffee pot, pots, pans and more. Plus, a four-top dining table adds comfort to your morning cup of joe and locally-purchased pastries.
Outside, a gas grill is accompanied by plenty of outdoor seating. So, whether your family and friends desire a nice night in, or want to indulge in a whole-group grilling bonanza, the Treetops is a special place to escape from the ordinary.

During holiday celebrations, panoramic firework views are unrivaled, launched mere feet away.

The Lookout sits on the highest point of the Treetops complex with easy access to the shared firepit, outdoor dining area, and professionally maintained hot tub.
On the porch, you’ll also find a daybed with twin mattress––the best way to sleep beneath the trees with the lap of water lulling you into dreamland (protected from bugs).

Super cute!
The cabin was great. Very clean and super cute. I would suggest that it is better for only 2-3 guests as there is no privacy in the bedroom. The cabins are also super close together so not the best place if you are looking for privacy and quiet, but otherwise we had a great time!

Peaceful Getaway
My mom and I loved our time in this darling cottage overlooking the water. It was a short drive to the shops of Saugatuck and gorgeous Oval Beach. We enjoyed the cozy fire inside as well as the outdoor fire pit...plus the hot tub was an added bonus to take away the fall chill. Erica was super responsive and her place was a perfect home away from home.

Lovely minimalist getaway
Lovely simple living nestled in the woods. This home was great for traveling with our 1 year old. Simple open floorplan, nice enclosed porch, and space in the bedroom for our pack n play. Floor was a little dirty but I think that comes with the old wood charm and sandy soil outside, but we may just notice more because one of our party spent lots of time on the floor. Host was SO welcoming and responsive, and gave us lots of good local recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Phenomenal Experience!
If you are looking a place to stay do not pass this location up! It is an absolutely perfect spot with regards to an easy and quick drive to the city, or a short walk to the lake. The property is extremely cozy and scenic. Erica was just extremely accommodating and checked in periodically to make sure all our needs were met. This was a perfect place to experience Saugatuck and I highly recommend it!!!

Home away from home!
We stayed here as a mini honeymoon. The property was beautiful, and we felt right at home. Erica was super helpful with any questions we had - the cabin had everything we needed for our two-night stay. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit at the property - we also enjoyed massages at the Aveda salon and cruised the river in a retro boat rental. We had a great time and will be back!

Cozy retreat with a beautiful view.
We loved this cozy getaway with a great view of the water. It was very close to town, but we could have enjoyed the cottage without even going to town. The amenities were perfect and Erica was wonderful. Very clean. Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful Getaway
Easy check in. Super cute place & very peaceful. Erica quickly responded to a ton of questions and gave great restaurant recommendations, she even let us know the Root Beer Barrel was opening for the season during our stay so we didn’t miss out! Great location, just down the road from Mt.Baldhead steps with scenic lookout. Only 5 minutes from The Dunes resort if you’re looking for dancing or drag shows, etc. Hot tub was wonderful. We will absolutely be back again!

Lookout Cabin at Treetops
The cabin was rustic with modern updates. Very nice. The grounds were relatively void of native plant life. The view was beautiful. Erica, our host, was very nice.

Lacking privacy
The cabin is cute and in a great location. The only issue is the complete lack of privacy. There are windows on all sides, and yet no curtains! Given the proximity of the other cabins, this is ridiculous. I was standing in the shower/sitting on the toilet and staring into the windows of the cabin next door. The solution is easy and inexpensive - just put up a few curtains! I would happily return if they made this improvement. Until then - no thanks.

My husband and I had a great time at the Lookout Cottage. It was tranquil, quiet, and had beautiful views of the water. It was easy to get to downtown Saugatuck. We rented a boat from 1 Adventure Company which was basically across the street. The cottage was clean, spacious, and had great outdoor space including a hot tub. We would love to return!

Charming property
My partner and I wanted a fall getaway to the Michigan and this was a great spot. It was close to the water and nice hikes and included a fire pit to warm up during this cooler season. The one downside for us - which the owner is aware of and addressing - is that there were no curtains in areas where one typically would want privacy such as the bedroom and shower. The other cabins on the property are very close so it made it a bit awkward when others were staying at those properties but the owner was very communicative and tried to help us with solutions. Overall we would definitely stay at this property again!

Respite
My husband and I were on a 3 day respite trip. We have a 100 year old cabin in New Hampshire that my grandfather built that I have been going to since I was a little girl. This piece of property and the 3 cabins were like going home for us. They are so authentic to the time period when they were built, but with all of the updated amenities. ( Loved the shower)The cabin is perched up high in a wooded setting and when you wake up in the morning and open the glass doors, you are looking out at a magnificent view of the water. There is a wonderful sitting area with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs situated where you can relax and savor the view. There is a hot tub and shower in the woods close to the cabins. The cabin we stayed in even had a sleeping porch which I loved. We were lucky and had the place to ourselves. There are three cabins, and I think it would be perfect for a group of friends or families. Saugatuck is right across the River, Lake Michigan was a very short drive or walk up the hill and Mt Baldhead sand dune was within walking distance. Perfect location. We will go back for sure.
