The two houses are located on a quiet side street in Douglas. We are closer to the beach than most houses in Saugatuck or Douglas and you can walk to the Deli, Root beer barrel and Just add water. The houses were specifically built for large reunions and have large group gathering spaces. Eight matching bedrooms with one queen bed in each room the seventh bedroom the children's crew quarters will sleep four in bunk beds. No dormitory style bedrooms. The Keeper's house is a complete second house with more privacy, a full living room, two (of the eight bedrooms), kitchen and fireplace.
The Main house has a dining table with seating for 14 and a large living room which make sure that no one will be left out when gathered around the fire place. The sun porch, library and small office offer more intimate spaces. The fire pit with free wood, outdoor dining area and the private patios all offer great spaces on warm summer nights. This is our family vacation home. New yet warm. Everything was new in 2014. The building has been completely rebuilt with quality materials by a Architect/Builder. The furnishings were specifically selected for the house. The wood ceilings, floors and trim make the house warm. Craftsman style mosaic work, original art and creative details add character and charm.
Centrally located between downtown Douglas and Lake Michigan. Shopping, dining and entertainment options are just minutes away. We have parking for six cars in our drive and an additional parking just a short walk away.
We only rent the houses as a pair. Three nights minimum for Spring and Fall. Our Summer rentals are a 6 night rentals—Friday to Thursday.

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!!

The Douglas Boathouse has it all!
Our family had a delightful stay at the Douglas Boathouse. We've never stayed in a vacation rental that provided so many conveniences from large numbers and types of Yeti mugs and cups to an entire basket of charging cords. The kitchen is well furnished with everything you can possibly think of. Everyone enjoyed the game room, as well as our time around the fire pit. It's in a lovely, quiet area that's convenient to everything. We also appreciated all of the beach chairs! There was plenty of seating for meals both indoors and out for our large group. The owners went above and beyond in providing so many extras that made our stay comfortable. Our only recommendation is that the doors could use some lubrication to get rid of the squeaks so early risers don't wake up others. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable weekend!

Excellent!!
This property was perfect for a family getaway. Everything was just as described in the listing. Great places nearby for eating and drinking. Lots of fun to have right on the property!! This was my first VRBO rental and Everything was perfect. Mike was always available if I had any questions. We would like to come again in the summer to experience the lovely beach and water but this place would be great any time of the year.

Terrific
When you see the Boathouse in person you will be blown away. Everything exceeded our expectations. Mike was lovely to deal with and we very much felt like invited guests in their home.
They have thought of everything.
