Cute old house needs better management
This house does not have air conditioning or heat. The listing is not accurate. We learned this on our way and the management company’s solution was a box fan. Nearly impossible to temperature control. Our family of 4 ended up sleeping in 1 room with two twin beds. Not ideal or comfortable. If you have allergies, forget it. The glass in the windows appears original, but it has holes and breaks in them. Which means insects. We even found bugs in the bed! The second bathroom is in the basement in the laundry room. Nothing else is in the basement. The house also smells awful because the floor is rotting out and mold/mildew ridden from leaks in the bathroom. The three “bedrooms” upstairs are open tops and have no doors. The stair rail is unsafe for children as it is very short and the spindles are 2 feet apart. So not ideal for children unless older or an infant that cannot roll yet. The positives are the screened in porch where you can watch the boats. We spent almost all the time on the porch to avoid the heat and stench inside the house. The history of the house and family are somewhat on display which makes it very interesting. I can see so many memories for them happened in the house. I hope they find a better management company before this one destroys the home with their apathy for its history.

Cute riverside cottage
We had a great stay at Anna's cottage. The place was larger than we expected. The highlight was definitely evenings and meals spent on the porch! We enjoyed boat watching on the river and the fans and screens made the porch very pleasant even during the heatwave. Important note: despite the listing info, the house itself is not air conditioned. It got very warm in the house, so we did not spend much time indoors. The house is equipped with lots and lots of windows, ceiling fans, and other fans. However, we would highly recommend bringing extra fans. Another heads up, the walk to oval beach is closer to 15 mins including a pretty steep uphill and on a well-used road (no sidewalks). Totally doable, but definitely plan on driving if you want to bring a lot of stuff or have any mobility problems. Overall would highly recommend!

Lovely home
We just loved our time at Anna’s Cottage. It was spacious, warm and welcoming. The windows (and views!) are gorgeous and we loved the photo of the same porch we sat on from the early 1900s. Located across the street from the Chain Ferry and within walking distance to Mt. Baldhead and Oval Beach, the location is perfect. Highly recommend!

We had a family wedding and it was perfect for having a few of my family members for dinner. It’s comfortable and cozy, yet plenty of room to never feel crowded. Well stocked towels and kitchen utensils. We enjoyed the screened porch. Beach is a short distance away. Definitely going to rent again.

Lovely vacation spot
We always enjoy Saugatuck in the Fall and this trip was exceptional. Our home away from home choice truly added to the experience. Because of being elderly, we did find all the stairs daunting. And the toilet in the main bathroom definitely needs to be higher. However I would still give this cottage a 5 star review. It was charming and we absolutely loved the screened porch overlooking the river.

Saugatuck Cottage
Beautiful original antique vacation cottage, well preserved and maintained. Everything was as advertised, clean and prepped. The location was amazing, immediately across the river from downtown Saugatuck, right at the chain ferry dock. Plus the forest trail to Oval Beach starts right outside the door. We couldn't have been happier with the property.

Terrific Cottage
The property sits on the Kalamazoo River with an elevated screen porch perfect for watching the boat traffic. The cottage is a short ride to Oval Beach. It is a very traditional three season cottage that is clean and beautifully decorated. Short drive to Saugatuck or quick Chain Ferry ride (if it is open).
