"Great little spot with a friendly, helpful host. The property is quiet and private but just a short walk into town. Will definitely return!"

"Our family stayed at this cabin during one of the last weekends of the summer and had a great time. The beach area associated with the cabin is ideal because it's shallow going out to a good distance out and nice, fine sand. We stayed during one of the last weekends of the summer and other public beaches were jammed packed. The cabin is as advertised and 'historic', but you can tell that the owners are trying to upgrade portions of it (kitchen appliances, basement bathroom). If we weren't on...

"What a GREAT property! We loved the warm welcome with a little chalk sign! The beach-themed décor made us feel that vacation vibe right away. Our little ones absolutely loved seeing the wildlife that visited the yard each day: deer, turkeys, and even a ground hog. The beds were comfortable and the couches gave us a great hangout to watch TV together. The location is excellent, being just a quick drive to downtown, but being away so that it could also be quiet. The walk to Newcomb Beach is...

"Beautiful cabin, surrounded by quiet stunning nature. The town of Saugatuck is very charming. One of the very best mom and daughter trips we have shared!"

"This was the third time in the last 4 years we've vacationed at Heron Creek. We are a family group of 8 people who have been coming to the Saugatuck area each summer for over 15 years. Heron Creek is the third property we've used, and we've always had really enjoyable vacations there. Some things have changed over that time. The house is beginning to look a little shabby on the outside; needs some paint and external repairs. There is an external door that no longer opens,and many of the...

"The rental was a great space for my parents, dog and I. We would wake and walk into town for our morning exercise, watch movies in the evening on the porch and rock on the front porch after spending the day out in town or checking out new spots. My mom couldn’t do the walk to town and walk downtown - so we still needed to park downtown for her. Luckily it was an ‘off’ season so we did t have to worry about parking! Lovely home!"

"This was our second year renting this home and it was another wonderful vacation. The house is always clean and ready to go. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. The best part, according to my kids is the beach and yard. The screened in porch is also a very popular place to hang. Thanks for a wonderful week!"

"Very enjoyabke home."

"Very nicely appointed lake house. Beds were cozy. Within walking distance to the chain ferry to get to downtown Saugatuck. Toilet on the top floor is not fully enclosed for privacy and bedroom windows don’t have privacy shades for changing clothes, etc. Other than that, would definitely return! "

"Cozy cabin in a nice region of Michigan, away from major cities but not too rural. Cabin was overall very clean, but there were a few spider cohabitors and many spiderwebs in various corners of the house. Nice if you are looking to getaway from the city. "

"We had a great week being near the lake and made many memories. The morning sunrises were beautiful. This nostalgic cottage kept us entertained and intrigued all week long."

"My wife and I really enjoyed this Swan Lake property. Very nice home, quite setting and not too busy of a lake."
