Charming Place to Stay

A very nice place to stay. Pictures where very accurate as far as the rooms and surroundings of the building. Didn't use the kitchen, ate out too much......The only thing to consider when renting, the inside steps are rather steep, if you are an older person it might not be the best place for you. I would have no issues renting it again. First time staying in Saugatuck, charming town with much to do. Nice beach, good restaurants, easy to enjoy yourself here.

Perfect for a getaway for two

This mill is tailored perfectly to anyone who likes a rustic aesthetic. That being said it still has virtually all ammenities modern homes need. So best of both worlds. It is however definitley suited for just 2 guests with the size that it is, which is what we were. But we loved our stay in this small abode. It is also just a 10 minute walk from downtown saugatuck and a 15 minute drive from Holland. So it is located perfectly for sightseeing!

Fun and Beautiful Property!

We have driven by Peterson Mill many times over the years and were finally able to stay there. It's a fun and beautiful property in a great location that is almost right next door to the Southerner, one of our favorite restaurants. The owner was so friendly and accommodating and shared the history of the Mill. The mama duck and her six teenage ducklings on the pond was an added benefit!

Sleepless in Saugatuck

The bed's were terrible. Not a good sleep and definitely overpriced mainly due to that!! Would never recommend it.

The Perfect Getaway!

This is a beautiful home! It's all wood and so charming. There is a beautiful pond right next to it as well as large lawn area. Our 2 dogs loved running around. All of us slept so well. It's incredibly quiet. The owner of the property Eric lives right next door. He was so nice. His father actually built the house. This place is perfect for a couple looking to get away for a few days. It's close to everything. Boats are docked nearby. There's even a small waterfall in the back. We saw so many stars at night. Be careful of the steep staircase, but once you get the hang of going down it slowly it's easy. Modern appliances, TV, laundry and one one the best showers I've ever taken. It's super clean and stocked with everything you need. I highly recommend this charming place. It's the perfect get away and super value!

Near-perfect stay ruined by WORST BED EVER

Beautiful, quiet, and picturesque cottage with lots of charm and amazing proximity to the main section of Saugatuck. It was a pleasure to stroll up to the shops and restaurants without having to deal with parking, and the serene property is cute as heck. However, If the rest of this rental wasn’t so great, the bed alone would drop this down to 1-2 star review territory. Squeaky, clunky old bed frame that was one rough tumble away from collapsing, and a terrible, cheap, springy mattress. Seriously, I’ve stayed at scary back-country one star motels that made me afraid I was going to be axe-murdered in my sleep that had better beds and mattresses than this one. For the high price of this stay, it was certainly an unexpected level of back pain and being woken at all hours anytime one of us moved. It’s so unfortunate, because otherwise this is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed and should be an easy 5 star review.

Clean, serene but best for a couple

The property was so clean! The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need. The pullout sofa is very old and the mattress is a joke. It is very thin and has a sizeable hole on the back of one corner. Thankfully, we brought an air mattress just in case. This property is really most comfortable for couple who will sleeping in the bedroom and only use the sofa for seating. The stairs down to the bedroom are very steep (almost like a ladder) so not recommended for those with mobility issues. We loved the view of the pond and it was a relaxing setting. Short 10-minute walk into downtown Saugatuck.

Great location, with a caveat

Per my husband “the bed is not fit for human use.” It is extremely uncomfortable and along with the pillows caused a great amount of back and neck pain.

Lovely Stay

We really enjoyed our three nights at Peterson Mill! Very quaint, has all the accommodations, and is close to everything! Plenty of room for the two of us. If you have the pleasure of meeting the property owner Erik, you will be treated to hearing lots of fun tidbits about the history of the area and his family's contributions to Saugatuck! When we return we will definitely stay here again!

Good but some issues

I have a handful of things. One- the stairs to the the lower level is STEEP. It's not suitable for anyone w kids or older adults. If we knew those stairs would be so steep we would have picked something else out. My husband and I brought our dog (she didn't even want to take the stairs) and we stayed upstairs the whole time. Second- the basement TV the smalllllllllll. Third- with today's streaming, there was no Roku or fire stick, Xfinity tv was early 2010s. We went and bought a Roku to have something to watch. Fourth and final- ants. A lot of ants on the main countertop where the sink is. They were getting in every thing. Now a couple good things. The owner of the property is a very nice gentleman. He was kind and welcoming and checked on us when we were outside. He kept the outside really nice. The location of the place was good. I've been to MI multiple times so I know you have to drive distances but the state is so pretty and it was good weather vs the IL heat wave 2022 lol. Pls note, not all guests would want to watch TV and cook food at their rental property for the days that you're there but we wanted to mention it as it would be helpful.

What to expect ...

This darling little cottage is in a great location for walking to the harbor and downtown restaurants and shops. The bed was comfortable, and the place was clean, but there weren't many frills provided. Bring your own coffee and bottled water and expect the bar minimum for things like shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. The amenities have a motel feel ... Clean but sparce.
