Walked to the chain ferry, walked to Mount Baldhead took the 300 steps up the dune, walked to the crows nest- what a fabulous view.We saw deer everyday by the rental. This place is so lovely, quiet.

The property was spotless upon arrival — perfectly clean and clearly well-maintained. Communication with the owner was seamless from start to finish; they were prompt, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. We had an incident where we locked ourselves out after returning from dinner around 9:30pm, and Rob the owner was very responsive. He arranged for a locksmith person to come and solved the issue! We are very grateful for his generosity. In addition, the location was perfect — quiet and safe, and less than 15 minutes away from shops, restaurants, and local attractions (across the river). This would have been even less when the ferry would be open for the season. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. ##### Sarah A.

It is a beautiful home in an ideal location. Nestled in the woods, it’s a great place to relax and unwind while being close to the beach and downtown Saugatuck. It’s a quick drive to the beach but also a nice hike through the woods if you prefer. The chain ferry is very close to the house and takes you right into town. The house itself is well designed and maintained. I particularly enjoy sitting on the screened porches listening to birds and the breeze through the woods. It is just a great place! ##### Jill W.

The location is fantastic- you feel secluded in the woods yet you are two minutes from Saugatuck and Douglas. The setting is so relaxing and beautiful. The home has a very cool modern, yet retro vibe. It is fully stocked with everything anyone would need. The bed was so comfortable we actually slept til 11! The fireplace was cozy and the hot tub was great after climbing and hiking. Rob, the owner was so awesome and easy to work with. He was so helpful if we needed any advice or suggestions while we were there too. We have stayed at other places in saugutuck before but only plan on coming back to the River Groove. Thanks again Rob! Your home is lovingly cared for and it shows! We had such a great weekend and look forward to coming back soon.

Rob has consistently been one of the best hosts I've ever interacted with on VRBO. He's always responsive, and his place is always spotless. He recently remodeled, and the kitchen features all new appliances and is well-stocked with cookware, dishes and silverware. The TVs are new and easy to operate, and the overall look of the home is sleek and modern. The gas fireplace is also new and generates an impressive amount of heat with a simple switch that turns it on and off. The hot tub is tucked into a hillside in the woods and is my favorite part of River Groove. You can sit there and hear the wind blow through the pines and nothing else. I've never stayed there during the summer, but it is very quiet in the offseason, with only a few deer wandering around the property. A 15-minute hike through the dunes (or drive around them) takes you to Oval Beach, and downtown Douglas and Saugatuck are really close, too. Plus, the garage has generally been empty when I've visited, so Rob provides the garage door opener so you can park inside, a nice perk when there's snow. River Groove is an incredible place owned by an incredibly kind person. I look forward to returning again soon. ##### Ryan R.
