Clean, spacious, with most everything we needed. Comfortable beds, quiet location with great accessibility to Saugatuck and the surrounding areas.Only downside - no streaming services for evening relaxing.

Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole H. 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Stay at the Little Grey Cottage! We rented the Little Grey Cottage for a family girls weekend. It slept the six of us pretty comfortably. Pros: Loved having four full bathrooms between six ladies. Quick 10 minute walk to Douglas beach. Loved the open floor plan and community kitchen - made great memories laughing and eating together. Provided lots of cleaning supplies and paper towel (sometimes VRBO's are skimpy on supplies). Fully stocked kitchen was wonderful to cook in! The management team was always quick to respond to questions and check-in/out was super easy. Cons - The outside is a little shabby and needs some love, first impression wasn't great, but inside was beautiful and clean! The living room furniture is very well worn and not that comfortable. Two of us had to sleep in the lower bunks...probably fine for kids under 100 lbs, but not comfortable for adults. The mattress pads are pretty thin. There were also four broken chairs in the dining room. Not a big deal, there were plenty others to use. None of the cons were deal breakers, just general feedback for the property owners! Overall, a nice stay and would recommend. ##### Nicole H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John R. 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### We had a great time We really did have a great time. The home is very adequate. And mostly as described. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the screened in porch, the grilling area, and the trash cans. ##### John R.
