Lovely cottage with an additional sleeping area in another bldg directly in back. Lots of sleeping space. Also, a large outdoor table with lots of seating. Perfect to spend time outdoors. Both tub and shower were quite slippery, no grab bars. Maybe not perfect for seniors.

Love the Butterfly Cottage!

This was my second time staying at the Butterfly Cottage, and it’s such a special place. It is perfect for a girls trip - we had the best time hanging out at the house, and it’s also a very short walk right into town for coffee, shopping, and dining! I highly recommend the Butterfly Cottage and can’t wait to come back!

Cozy Cottage close to everything

This place was very nice - convenient to downtown - it is an older property, hard wood floors, so plan on hearing everyone early in the morning. The location was very quiet and convenient and easy to get around the town. The small casita does have a few issues - needs to be fumigated for ants, and other little bugs, and the toilet runs non - stop - but other than that the place is very relaxing

We had a wonderful family week at the Butterfly Cottage! It was perfect for me, my husband, our 10 week old daughter, my parents, and our pup. My parents stayed in the bungalow, allowing everyone to have their own space. Our dog loved the fenced in yard. We had everything we needed in the house, which is cozy and quiet. Saugatuck is beautiful and laid back, and we were able to walk everywhere - breakfast, coffee, dinner, the waterfront. The only time we needed our car was to go to the grocery. Such a relaxing vacation, we will be back!!

Great location in Saugatuck

The home is located just steps away from great restaurants and shopping in downtown Saugatuck. The home was very clean and our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. It is a perfect home for a family visiting the area!!

The property was clean and had all of the essentials.Theer was a problem with internet & tv which was beyond control of the host. However, she went above and beyond to try to solve the issue.Only recommendation is for a handrail on the basement stairs.

Butterfly Cottage is a Cutie!

We had a great vacation at butterfly cottage. It is decorated so cute and was very comfortable. The location is excellent. The drive to Oval Beach was short. There is a lot to see and do in Saugatuck. We went on the paddle boat, went to the beach most every day, and dined at many good restaurants. We were able to walk to town every night, which we enjoyed. I would say there are two major things that need improvement. The floors of the cottage weren’t very clean, (there was a big hairball behind the door in one of the bedrooms) and the floorboards need a good cleaning too.Landscaping: the yard was mowed, however, around the house and in the backyard, the shrubbery was overgrown and the planting areas were very weedy. In the backyard there is a nice table we sat at each evening. It is such a lovely area, but not kept up at all.

Saugatuck Shopping

My Sister, niece and I stopped into Saugatuck for 2 nights on our way to Traverse City. Enjoyed the day experiencing the amazing shops! Always greeted with a big smile and hospitality. Butterfly Cottage was a comfortable, cozy and convenient retreat. Perfect for our getaway. Cannot emphasize the location enough!! My niece truly enjoyed the “bungalow ” for her solitude. Awesome space and place!

Wonderful vacation spot for a family

I vacationed with my whole family last week at the Butterfly Cottage and it was perfect. It's decorated so cute, the bungalow in back was perfect for my daughter and her husband and their two kids, and the two bedrooms in the main cottage were right for my husband and me, and then my other daughter, her husband and their baby. being able to walk everywhere (except the beach) worked really well for us, and the large outdoor table was great for eating out as well as fun activities like painting and games. On top of all of that, the owner is very responsive and helpful. We would rent again!

Multi generational week

It was wonderful. Fantastic location. Our elders could get around the house. The younger generation had the rear building. There was a fence for the dogs. The neighbors are friendly. We would come back. Charming cottage and property.
