The Roost at The Southerner

Adorable pet-friendly cottage within walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and all it has to offer. Main room offers a gas fireplace, TV and full kitchen with a pull-out loveseat and space to dine. Queen bed in bedroom, ensuite bath with shower and laundry room. A/C, ceiling fans & shady location. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + 1. Be sure to take advantage of the popular restaurant The Southerner right next door. The restaurant can be quite busy in the summer so there's fantastic people watching from your private patio but it ends service at 10pm so no late night noise or commotion.

Saugatuck Getaway
The house was perfect for a short stay in Saugatuck. We were able to walk to downtown where our dog Chara loved the walks along the dock of the Kalamazoo river. We also enjoyed ice cream at Kilwins and coffee at Uncommon Grounds. Also, we loved the hiking trails at Saugatuck Dunes State Park which is just a short drive away. This place is perfect for a couple with a dog. Thanks for such a nice dog friendly space.

Saugatuck vacation
Truly excellent! Beautiful property! Nice walking distance to downtown. Located next to a parking lot, as was accurately described in the listing information. The description stated that the parking lot can sometimes be loud. But for our stay it was not, it was actually quite peaceful. We had a wonderful time!

Perfect weekend getaway
Was a great place to stay and get away. The unit was great and had everything we needed and were pleasantly surprised by the nice fireplace - which came in handy with the chilly weather. Location was great and we had nice time exploring downtown Saugatuck and Douglas and visited the state park as well as having a great dinner right next door at “the Southerner”. Looking forward to coming back again

Cozy and Complete Winter Roost
The Roost was a cute, cozy, and well appointed cottage that was perfect for my husband, our dog, and me. Being right next to The Southener is a huge bonus! And we loved the heated bathroom floor! We’ll be back to use the great outdoor space when it’s warmer. And we already recommended it to our son-in-law and he booked it. Thank you, Amy, for such a great experience!

Cute and cozy little cottage.
We absolutely loved the Roost! It had everything we needed for our little get away. It was clean, cute, and comfortable. We loved that it was next to the Southerner. We did not have any issues with noise or lights. Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking to stay in the Saugatuck area. Also, try the Southerner. The food was great.

Saugatuck Cottage at The Southerner
Nice small and cozy cabin. My wife and I drove from Chicago and left much later than anticipated, arriving at the cottage after midnight. We prepared some food groceries that we had brought. Very convenient stock of pots and pans and cooking utensils. The cottage was warm and well lit. Where we had issues was with the cleanliness of the bedding. Fortunately, there was a small washer and dryer with a stock of cleaning supplies on the premises which permitted us to wash the bed linens and bed spread covering. We did manage to have a pleasant stay despite this and reported the incident to the owner.

Cozy cottage, beautiful location!
This was a great place for our weekend getaway! Perfect size for a single person or a couple, and a beautiful location on the marina. A quick walk to downtown Saugatuck and it’s scenic waterfront, art shops, boutiques, and restaurants. The stay itself has modern amenities, good lighting, a comfy bed, and a kitchen perfect for coffee or simple meals. The only drawback to the house is noise and light pollution at night from the Southerner restaurant next door.

Perfect get-away
The cottage was exactly as described. Cute & cozy. Amy was quick to respond to a few concerns we had. Try the Southerner (next door), but plan ahead because it can be a long wait or order your food online (that's what we did) and bring it back to the cottage. You won't be disappointed.
