The cottage is cozy and comfortable . Lots of games for rainy days but also a great deck for cooking out. We had s’mores at the fire pit each night. So, so close to Walking to Douglas beach.

Perfect!
The property and location exceeded our expectations! Jackie sent a message beforehand and it was so easy to check in and get situated. While we enjoyed our time in downtown Saugatuck and Oval Beach, we really loved the neighborhood and Douglas Beach.Great for walks and riding our bikes. The cottage was so comfortable, we would definitely stay again!

Perfect for young family
We had a fantastic time on our trip. The location was great The house was just a short walk to the public beach area and a 5 minute drive to Saugatuck. The house was really well-stocked with everything that we could possibly need. The kids (7 & 10) had the best time and busied themselves with all of the board games. They declared that they want to go back to this place.

Running away from home
Unfortunately my husband doesn’t like to travel but I do. So I took a chance and went to a place I’m familiar with which is Saugatuck/Douglas Michigan. Jackie’s Place was extremely convenient to Lake Michigan there was a beautiful sunset close to everything nice restaurants friendly people. So probably next year I would like to do the same thing all over again with the husband would be fine but if not I’ll still make the trip .

Fabulous stay at Writer's Cottage
The cottage was absolutely charming and wonderful in every way. It is in a great neighborhood in Douglas with a short walk to the beach and deer everywhere! We so enjoyed seeing them every day. The cottage was extremely clean and had everything we needed- an especially nice kitchen! We loved the big dining table and we enjoyed the firepit on the deck. It was wonderful staying here and we hope to come again soon. The owner is very responsive and super nice. Highly recommend!

Writer’s Cove Paradise!
What a fantastic place to stay! Jackie provided everything we could have possibly needed for a family vacation! From QR code’s for the local attractions, to games & supplies for the beach & even s’mores by the fire pit! The house was very clean & kept nicely, with cute decor! She was also prompt with any questions I had! We’ll definitely be back 😊
