Fabulous week in Saugatuck.

We had such a good time staying at Shoebox Cottage. The house was perfect-clean and beautifully furnished, and the location was great. We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and outdoor space-a lovely oasis! This is one of the best rentals we have had in our many years of coming to Saugatuck for our family gathering each summer.
