What an amazing time! These houses are just perfect. It was immaculately clean and had everything then some of what we needed for a party of 14. Mike was a great host and I cannot rave about this place enough. We loved it! Just loved it.

I recently stayed at the Douglas Boathouse for 4 days with a group of friends, and it was an amazing experience! The house was beautiful, spotless, and stocked with so many thoughtful extras — from games to a fully equipped kitchen. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our host, Mike, was communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even smoother. Plus, you really cannot beat this location! I highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Douglas/Saugatuck area. We would absolutely come back!!

Family Memories The Douglas Boathouse Keeper House was an amazing 8 bedroom, 5.5 bath home that had everything we needed for our family of 13 adults from 21 to 70 years old. There were lots of spaces in the house and outside (fire pit and long table) for us to gather as a group. We cooked most days and the kitchen facilities were great. Walk or drive to Lake Michigan beaches (1 to 1.6 miles), Saugatuck (1.7 miles) and Douglas ( 1 mile), Area was great - loved the fireworks on July 5th, Dunes Rides, Root Beer Floats at the Barrel and lattes at Woosah but mostly the amazing memories we made with our family just hanging out playing games and catching up for the week. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with our family.

Perfect Holiday Reunion Rented this house for a post-Chriatmas family reunion. House was perfect for us: 11 adults, 7 children. The house is very stylish, clean, and comfortable. Huge kitchen that could fit all of us, comfortable living room. Awesome game room in the separate building. We even had fun with the puppet theater in the basement. Would highly recommend this property for any time of year.

Great property for family and friends gettogether Had a great time staying at Douglas boat house for a couple of days. The checkin process was easy with frequent communications with the host, the property was clean with lots of space for group activities and kids funtime. Kitchen was stocked with utensils, the game room had ample things to play and all the bed rooms are spacious with good furniture and clean mattresses. We had enough warm water for all of us and the bathrooms are in great condition. Overall 5* rating.
