The two houses are located on a quiet side street in Douglas. We are closer to the beach than most houses in Saugatuck or Douglas and you can walk to the Deli, Root beer barrel and Just add water. The houses were specifically built for large reunions and have large group gathering spaces. Eight matching bedrooms with one queen bed in each room the seventh bedroom the children's crew quarters will sleep four in bunk beds. No dormitory style bedrooms. The Keeper's house is a complete second house with more privacy, a full living room, two (of the eight bedrooms), kitchen and fireplace.
The Main house has a dining table with seating for 14 and a large living room which make sure that no one will be left out when gathered around the fire place. The sun porch, library and small office offer more intimate spaces. The fire pit with free wood, outdoor dining area and the private patios all offer great spaces on warm summer nights. This is our family vacation home. New yet warm. Everything was new in 2014. The building has been completely rebuilt with quality materials by a Architect/Builder. The furnishings were specifically selected for the house. The wood ceilings, floors and trim make the house warm. Craftsman style mosaic work, original art and creative details add character and charm.
Centrally located between downtown Douglas and Lake Michigan. Shopping, dining and entertainment options are just minutes away. We have parking for six cars in our drive and an additional parking just a short walk away.
We only rent the houses as a pair. Three nights minimum for Spring and Fall. Our Summer rentals are a 6 night rentals—Friday to Thursday.

Summary: Perfect house set in Winter wonderland was so exceptional for a cozy, extremely relaxed weekend. Grandparents, Siblings our families all had ample space to lounge and play. The fire place was stoked, ping pong balls flying, something delicious always cooking. Kids loved the basement and game area. Kitchen had everything (and more) to feed the whole gang. We were very impressed with the loving construction, thoughtful design, piles of games, surrounding neighborhoods, and amenities that made this a perfect stay. Long weekend spent reconnecting with each other, both indoors and out. Kids played in the snowy yard for hours while adults stayed warm by the fire watching football, reading, and puzzling. We loved dropping into South Haven, Douglas, Saugatuck, and surrounding nature havens to experience a picturesque Winter.

Summary: Rented this house for a post-Chriatmas family reunion. House was perfect for us: 11 adults, 7 children. The house is very stylish, clean, and comfortable. Huge kitchen that could fit all of us, comfortable living room. Awesome game room in the separate building. We even had fun with the puppet theater in the basement. Would highly recommend this property for any time of year.

Summary: This property was amazing! Four generations gathered to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday. There was plenty of space to gather or spread out. Through creative seating, we were able to have 29 attendees in the kitchen at the birthday dinner. The game room was a big hit as was the fire pit. My dad and wife enjoyed the slightly more private accommodations of the keeper’s house. The pictures don’t do justice to the downstairs “sofa” beds…they are full size, firm and comfortable. The hosts have provided for every creature comfort one could ask for when on vacation. They were VERY responsive to questions and offered lots of good suggestions for local restaurants and places to visit. Many of the more midwestern guests said they will definitely look to use the house in the future. We have all done a lot of vacation home rentals and this house was an exceptional value.

Summary: Our annual Thanksgiving trip was spent at the Douglas Boathouse! The accommodations were just as described and shown in photos. We spent great time together in the large kitchen area. The location was great with stores within walking distance. No criticism or things to change. The sound system seemed complicated but no one wanted to spend time trying to figure out how to separate the tv speaker from the music. Instructions were provided. Communication and availability were 5 star!!! Thank you for sharing your home.
