Great place and location

We had a great stay at The Shop. It was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. We had a little trouble figuring out the thermostat and tv but everything else was lovely. Definitely would stay there again if we head back to the west side of Michigan.

Perfect place for a Couple’s Getaway

The Shop was exactly what we expected from the listing. Charming little home away from home and extremely clean and new looking space. Location was very convenient to anything you want to do or see in the Douglas/Saugatuck area. We received all the information we needed for check in and out through timely texts. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Great location!

The rental was clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. When we arrived, the living room television was not working. We spoke with management, but they couldn't do anything about it until after our stay. We made due. That was the only blip in an otherwise lovely stay. You can hear the person upstairs, but we never had any issues during quiet time. I highly recommend checking out Wild Dog, a short walk from the room. We had an incredible meal, and the cocktails were delicious. We would stay here again for sure!

Lovely modern rental in a vintage building

We were impressed by the way this old workplace was turned into a modern residence. It was attractive and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was huge! We would remind interested parties that there is a full-time tenant upstairs and you can hear each other. Parking is on a concrete pad in back of the residence. The neighborhood was very nice.

A fun getaway

The property and location are spectacular! We had a wonderful time during our stay. The property is on a quiet street and is very close to downtown Douglas. Several local coffeeshops and restaurants were within 5 minutes of walking. Also easily walkable to Saugatuck. There were several small details that could be improved, like the smoke alarm battery being dead or the water filter needing to be replaced. The king bed was wonderful for two 6 foot + tall people, but the frame is not very sturdy. Overall, I would absolutely recommend The Shop in Douglas.

This was an incredible find for our trip to Douglas/Saugatuck! Perfectly located and very accommodating. It was clean and well furnished. The parking spot in the driveway was convenient and there is a good number of walkable restaurants nearby. Highly recommend and hopefully we can come back next year for the Halloween festivities!

The Shop is very nice, the only objection I have is there is no cable TV for the living area. The only programming is streaming. Xfinity is the carrier and for me it is hard to navigate. I spoke with the rental/property personnel and it was a waste of my time. I would not stay there again because of the cable issue. There is a TV in the bedroom which we did not turn on so I don’t have any complaints for that TV, we do not watch TV in bed!

Cool spot, convenient spot with a lil bit of history

We stayed in the shop for four nights on a family vacation. The place is right in town and has a great location. A lot of history being that it’s a re-purposed and completely renovated blacksmiths shop. There is a tenant who lives upstairs and you can hear everything that goes on. If you are very sensitive this type of noise I would avoid. For us overall it was incredible.

Great spot

My wife and I genuinely loved the location of the shop, it was within walking distance of everything in Douglas and Saugatuck. Which made for some good evening walks in a very nice neighborhood. Another great thing about the location is you get the music from the brewery right next door which is a great addition. However, someone lives above the shop and you can hear everything they’re doing. It didn’t bother my wife and I but just something to know. Also, there weren’t extra towels and the ones offered were extremely thin. With that being said we loved our stay and will be back in the future.

FALL WEEKEND 2022

My wife and I went to Douglas/Saugatuck to celebrate our 30th. Wedding Anniversary. The "Shop" met all our needs and more. The location is excellent. The house was very clean and nicely furnished. The neighborhood was quiet, yet close enough to walk to all the shops and restaurants in Douglas. The management team was AWESOME to work with, making our stay that much more enjoyable. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.
