Description
Birdie Cottage
Birdie Cottage is the ideal place for a relaxing getaway with your closest friends.
Spend the evening on the spacious back deck grilling up a delicious meal with the sparkle of fairy lights just overhead and millions of stars in the distance. The outdoor dining table provides a place for not only a meal, but also a game of cards, a few beverages, and laughter while making memories. The surrounding nature, including mature trees, will make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.
Located just a 1/2 mile from the center of downtown Saugatuck, you'll never be short of things to do. Shops, restaurants, ice cream, parks, and people-watching are all just an easy stroll away. Birdie Cottage is also located across the street from the bike path which extends south into Douglas and north all the way to Grand Haven. If you're after Lake Michigan beaches and the sand between your toes, we have that too! The Saugatuck Dunes State Park, with hiking trails and beautiful beaches, is an easy 3-minute car ride or 15-minute bike. The Oval Beach and Douglas Beach are also easily accessible with just a 7-minute drive.
You will fall in love with the interior of Birdie Cottage. Enter through the huge screen porch, with relaxing chairs and outside dining, to a great room complete with soaring ceilings. The comfortable living room furniture and Smart TV is perfect for kicking back and watching a movie. The equipped kitchen with stainless appliances also has an island with snack bar seating. The farmhouse sink with an oversized window overlooking the backyard provides a sweet touch of character.
The unique primary bedroom is a lofted space with a large queen bed. The separate den off the living room provides extra sleeping on the day bed with a trundle that can be set up as 1 twin, 2 twins, or 1 king. The full bathroom in this home is a true treasure. With stone flooring, farmhouse-style lighting, and a claw foot bath, you'll love your time here. For a real treat, sink into a tub full of bubbles and watch the trees out the adjacent picture window.
Birdie Cottage is a magical place to get away - you'll want to return again and again!

Birdie Cottage is in a great location. We walked into town at least 2 times a day. We were close to restaurants which made dinner easy. The cottage was comfortable and adorable.

If you want a lake cottage feel, Birdie Cottage is the place. The porch is a place to waste away an afternoon reading or being visited by a deer. Even though it is close to town, it sits back behind trees and has a woods feel. Loved our stay and will be back!

We felt relaxed and at home the moment we set eyes on Birdie Cottage. A fairytale property that our dogs enjoyed just as much. The location feels so private and cozy with the convenience of steps away from downtown. We fell in love! Thank you for it all!

We had a great stay at the Birdie Cottage. The house was beautifully remodeled with classic original fixtures blended in that worked so well. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our two pups. It was a 5-10min walk into the most charming town passing by gorgeous homes along the way. Oval beach was a quick drive, and just as beautiful as everyone says. We would definitely stay again if we take another trip to Saugatuck, MI!

We loved the kitchen and used the fireplace every day. The location is convenient to everything. We walked to town & drove to Saugatuck Dunes. The wooded (fenced) yard is so private & perfect for our 4 month old golden retriever who loves to explore. Thank you!

Very cute house with plenty of privacy and a relaxing front and back porch. The backyard area was perfect for our dogs and better than expected. The house was clean and comfortable. We brought our electric scooters and could easily ride into downtown to shop and dine. The downtown area was also within walking distance from this house.

What a cute property! We enjoyed our stay for girls weekend away! Well stocked, cute porch and deck, close to town and very clean. This home is tucked away off the Main Street, feels like a cozy cottage. Open concept, nice kitchen that was well stocked and we loved the screened in front porch and back deck!

This house is adorable! It was perfect for our little family of three and our dogs. Having a yard with a fence around it was a big bonus. Loved the coziness of the real fireplace. Location is nice close to town but a nice quiet area. Love the screened in porch. Kitchen is well equipped. Fun touches including a record player with some good records, some games. Upstairs loft bedroom is super cute but the peaked ceiling may result in some accidental head bangs, especially if youre tall. Fortunately, we arent. Ha! We would definitely come back. Thank you for the lovely getaway.

Mill Pond Realty is a wonderful company. Check-in and check-out was seamless and friendly. Top customer service. The cottage we rented, Smitten Mitten in Saugatuck, was very clean/tidy, well organized, and absolutely wonderful for a 9 days vacation from the Chicago area. Central location as well and walking distance from Saugatuck. Thanks again for the wonderful and top notch experience! Thanks so much for everything. We had a wonderful time in Saugatuck and we will be back soon!

We loved our stay at the Birdie Cottage! As other reviewers have shared, the loft bedroom and the stairs up there are pretty sloped and narrow so if you have any mobility concerns at all Id be careful! For my husband and I, it was not much of an issue. Aside from that, this property is absolutely incredible. The living area is spacious and cozy at the same time, with a fully functional kitchen and a comfy couch. Both the screened in front porch and the fenced in back yard made it easy to enjoy the nice weather and keep our dog from running amok at the same time. We would love to stay at the Birdie Cottage again!
