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

Saugatuck perfection! Spacious & far from crowds, yet close to town.

From the moment you pull into the winding, tree-kissed drive, you’ll immediately fall in love with Wildwood.

Just 5 minutes south of adorable Saugatuck/Douglas and minutes from the beaches of Lake Michigan, Wildwood’s five secluded acres has room to wander or even get lost. Our family relishes every moment spent together here and we think you'll love it too.

Enjoy morning coffee surrounded by maple trees and white pines, bonfires in the evenings and hot-tubing under the stars. Wildwood isn’t just a house, it’s a retreat. Ideal for families and friends looking to get away.

Warmly imagined with time together in mind, Wildwood’s decor is simple and yet eclectic. Inside, a mixture of local antiques, vintage finds and warm furnishings beg for you to leave behind whatever waits for you at home.

Upstairs, a magnificent gourmet, farm-style kitchen opens to the dining area seating up to 12 as well as the home’s sitting room, complete with wood-burning fireplace for cool weather and Sonos for easily plugging in your favorite music.

Inspired by hunting lodges, the upstairs sitting room's twin chesterfield sofas beg for quiet chit-chat next to a roaring fire over cocktails.

The kitchen features a 5-burner stove, stainless steel appliances, a deep farmhouse sink, and everything else essential to throw together a feast.

The outdoor deck has a long dining table for when Michigan presents its best self. Nearby, a couple Adirondack chairs encourage sitting for chats or reading.

Each bedroom takes its name from a different national park and is decorated accordingly, anchored by a warm Pendelton wool blanket. Each bed has 400 thread count sheets for a luxurious night's sleep.

The Badland's Room, the upper floor master suite, features a lovely king-sized bed and massive picture window so you can enjoy the natural setting outside. The ensuite bathroom includes a jacuzzi bathtub and separate shower.

Just across the hall, The Acadia Room features a queen bed. Between you’ll find guest bathroom no. 1 with tub/shower combo as well as a washer and dryer should you need to do a load or two mid-stay.

As you head downstairs, notice the massive framed American flag. It belonged to our grandfather who served in WW2 and is one of our favorite details.

Downstairs' main living room has the most cushy, giant sectional you’ll ever meet, and may never want to leave! Inspired by our love of winter & aprés ski, the vintage snow shoes, skis and 1950s & 60s paint-by-number winter scenes on the walls add to the coziness of the room, making it perfect for movie night with Xfinity TV, Netflix, Hulu. If it’s blustery out, squeeze together for a good game night or a shuffleboard tournament. There’s a variety of games in the upstairs closet.

Also downstairs is the Yellowstone Room. Its fun, twin set of bunkbeds — great for kids or those staying sans significant other — are sturdy, holding adults up to 225 lbs. Down the hallway you’ll find full bathroom no. 3 with a shower and then the Glacier Room which also has a queen bed.

Around the corner from the sectional is the sleeping nook with a fold-out full sized bed. Careful not to wake your friends up as you walk out onto the lower deck and its 7-person hot tub just outside.

If you wander a bit into the woods, you’ll find one of our favorite spots, the fire pit. Surrounded by adirondack chairs, there’s nothing better than enjoying a warm fire on a cool evening while gazing up at the stars. Simple pleasures, and Wildwood is chock full of ‘em.

Should you want to explore, Wildwood is also located near some of the best southwestern Michigan has to offer. The house is just minutes from some of the most beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. It's also around the corner from farmer's stands and down the road from Apple Orchards, Vineyards and Hard Cider Mills. Antique stores dot the countryside. The roads are perfect for cycling, running or simply taking a nice drive, and if you've never been to the area you'll be shocked and thrilled by the number of delicious restaurants, bars and shops. There's so much to do... or not do, which ever you prefer.

We hope you’ll bring your family and friends to Wildwood. It’s yours to enjoy.

Please note that during the summer season, Wildwood is available Saturday - Saturday. Should a week not be booked, 2 weeks prior we will release for a 4 night minimum.

Regarding cancellations:

While the cancellation policy is listed as 60 days for a full refund, 30 days for a 50%, this is specifically for reservations in June, July & August.

September - May, I'm happy to give a full refund if cancelled within 30 days and 50% refund if canceled 14 days in advance.

This was the perfect place for our family. The Teens took over the basement while our youngest stayed upstairs across the hall from us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub was fun. The privacy was exactly what we wanted. We can’t wait to go back.

Labor Day Week Family Vacation

We spent the week of Labor Day with our adults kids and their spouse/fiancees. The house is perfectly located between beaches, vineyards, apple orchards, and town (Saugatuck/Douglas), as well as on and near quiet roads for great bike rides in the Fenn Valley and Kalamazoo River areas. The house itself is super comfortable, with plenty of room for several couples to spread out. The large deck, hot tub and fire pit area are added bonuses. This is just a great spot, and we'll be back again soon I am sure!

Nice house

This a nice house with a good layout, especially for 2 or more families looking to share. It is located in the woods, 3-4 miles from Douglas/Saugatuck. 1st floor has open floor plan with spacious kitchen, dining area and sitting room (no TV). Master bedroom on 1st floor has nice closet space and OK bathroom. Little lacking in counter space. 2nd bedroom on 1st floor has queen bed and bathroom in hall. Basement has nice, large tv room, and two bedrooms with another bathroom. Finishes are adequate but could use a refresh, as property manager acknowledge. Property manager is responsive.

Wonderful vacation home

This home was all that, and more! From the moment we turned down the country road this home was on we knew we would have some beautiful views We were not disappointed... This home has a decor that invites one to relax. Like cooking, the kitchen has all you might need to prepare any meal. The house is roomy and open, yet the bedrooms are very separate from the living areas. Speaking of bedrooms, the beds are so comfortable, Love the great outdoors? One is surrounded by woods and great fresh air that only nature can provide. Can't say enough about this rental. Douglas/Sagatuck.is within minutes and offers great fun, shopping, beach, and casual dining. All around the perfect rental home.

Lovely home and a great customer experience!

Wildwood is a lovely home with great amenities. The secluded location provides a comfortable feeling of privacy and the calm feeling of really "getting away." Every aspect of Wildwood met my expectations. I have rented several vacation homes and there's always even a "little something I would change" kind of feeling with most places. But not with Wildwood. Joshua by far is the most attentive home owner ever! Quick to respond and very accommodating. There is nothing to improve here! Wildwood is a fabulous place to rent.

Excellent Family Vacation

Great place, tucked away in the woods and in a peaceful setting. Very close to Douglas, Saugatuck, and some great beaches. Very well-equipped home with grill large kitchen lots of space with a couple of living areas, large deck, loads of sleeping room. The house is very tastefully decorated and the owners are very responsive to any questions. My only "recommendation" is around the coffee maker. I never really figured it out but we got it to work every day. Perhaps some instructions (or a simple Mr. Coffee? :)). My entire family enjoyed the week...we had a blast. Highly recommend this fine property.

Great for the Family!

The house is tucked back in the woods in a very peaceful location just far enough away from the busy towns but close enough to drive into town quickly. There was a lot of apace for everyone to have privacy and come together for family dinners. We really loved all the art work throughout the house, beautiful plants and flowers, and large kitchen. Loved being here the entire time and we would definitely stay again!

Amazing week with family and dog

What a lovely and amazing week our family and yellow lab from St Louis, Mo had at the beautiful Wildwood home in the woods! We enjoyed all the amenities (s’mores by the fire, hot tub, game nights, coffee on the deck, and bbqs in the evenings)! The weather was perfect. It was fun to visit some of the nearby sights in Saugatuck - Douglas and Holland and plenty of beaches for the family and dog. Loved the blueberries! We made countless family memories!
