Lovely, convenient Saugatuck stay
This was my first time in Saugatuck, and the chickadee rental was the perfect location and place to stay. The unit has everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed and cozy living room. I always appreciate a kitchen when I travel to allow me to make some meals and go out for others. This unit is in walking distance of the downtown Saugatuck area, making it a very easy way to enjoy the town without fighting for parking. We could even walk down to the Southern, a really great place for a meal and an excellent cocktail. We will definitely be back!!

This is our second stay and we can’t say enough good things about this location. So clean and all the amenities you might need. It is walking distance to the water, shopping and food options and a short drive to Holland. We have a great weekend.

A night in Saugatuck
The property was very cute, very clean and conveniently located. Easy to access. Private parking right outside the door. Nice amenities. Only downfall is the tenants upstairs were very loudly walking around well past midnight and then had a very very loud fan or sound machine running all night that could be heard throughout the whole apartment.

Cozy and Convenient!
Lovely place, perfect for a weekend getaway. Everything was very clean, well-kept and the proximity to downtown Saugatuck was ideal. The street noise was a little distracting only occasionally. Just be aware it’s not nestled away deep into a neighborhood. Overall we had a wonderful stay!

Get away to Saugatuck
My husband and I stayed at the Chickadee for a short getaway to Saugatuck. The home was very clean and well kept. We loved that the location was a little bit out of town—but only a 10 minute or less walk to downtown . The owner was very responsive when we had a few questions. Will definitely recommend to others and hope to return sometime!

Very clean, spacious and walking distance to everything. Super cute front porch and 2 parking spaces available. Highly recommend.
A lovely apartment, spacious and well-appointed. Just far enough from the heart of town so that you avoid the crowds, but close enough that you are within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants

Thank you for a great stay!
Dawn was wonderful to work with! The rental provided everything we could have ever needed and the property was so nicely decorated and the beds were amazingly comfortable! We had a fabulous stay and the property while a little longer walk from town was an easy walk and did not take more than 10 minutes. We would definitely stay again!

Charming property in great location
We stayed in the lower floor of the house. It has been updated and is charming and comfortable. The host has thoughtfully supplied everything that one might need for those who will be going to the beach. The location is just a few minutes walk to the Peterson Mill and the Peterson Nature Preserve, which, although small, is well worth the time for nature lovers. We saw our first green heron! The house is about a 9 minute walk to the downtown shops and restaurants. Saugatuck is a beautiful area and the house provides a great central base for your explorations.
