Description

Great Escape

This large, beautiful home has the space and luxury to make your Saugatuck vacation everything you dreamed of!

Escape to your perfect, Saugatuck luxury vacation with your whole family at Great Escape! This gorgeous home boasts 5 private bedrooms and additional sleeping space throughout the sprawling manor. Savor your coffee on one of the many decks and balconies in the morning while taking in the serene nature views and listening to the babbling brook. Inside there is plenty to do for everyone, from the plush movie theater seating with a 110" movie screen and game room to the spacious living and dining areas with a seasonal fireplace.

Relaxing, serene, and spacious are just a few words that describe the atmosphere here. Whether screen, open, or covered, you will want to spend all your time on the porches overlooking nature. Sip your morning coffee while listening to the breeze, enjoy a meal outside, or take up a game of cards. 

Inside you will find space galore and an abundance of amenities. From the soaring ceilings to the gas log fireplace to the movie theater and table games, there is something for everyone to enjoy. 

Perfect for meals together, this home offers dining for 14 all at the same table. Plus an adjacent "kids" table and seating at the snack bar, there is more than enough space to fill your bellies while you fill your soul with memories. The adjacent kitchen has recently upgraded stainless appliances plus everything you would need for a meal at home.

The bedrooms at Great Escape are comfy and cozy, with a Master bedroom offering a fireplace, all of which offer a wonderful retreat at the end of the day. Several bedrooms also offer luxurious seating for when you want a quiet moment to relax and enjoy a good book, or glass of wine in the evening with your loved one. The main level bedroom and bathroom are convenient for those who may not be comfortable with stairs. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite offers a king-size bed, a private balcony with outdoor furniture, a gas log fireplace, a sitting area, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, both with a king-size bed, a full bathroom with shower tub combo, and a laundry room can be found upstairs.

The lower level of Great Escape is truly unique and offers many extras, comforts, and amenities for entertainment. The star of this level is the in-home movie theater complete with a 110" screen, theater-style seating for 9, and even a popcorn maker. There is also a pool table, an air hockey table, and pop-a-shot basketball to keep you busy. Around the corner, but still open, you will find a bedroom set-up with both a king-size bed and a twin and an additional twin sleeping area.

When you’re ready to head out and explore, this home is just minutes from downtown Saugatuck!

Conveniently located to both town and Lake Michigan, you will have all activities at your fingertips. Take the secret, wooded hiking trail, or drive moments to the exciting, vibrant shops and restaurants of Saugatuck.

If Lake Michigan is more your style, you have your choice of the Oval Beach, Douglas Beach, or Saugatuck Dunes State Park all less than 4 miles away. Great Escape is also conveniently just 8 minutes drive to the world-famous Oval Beach where you can lounge away your worries on the sandy shores of beautiful Lake Michigan. Your family couldn’t ask for a better vacation home to escape to than Great Escape!

Shopping, eating, and exploring can also be found 15 minutes away in either Holland or Fennville. If you have the luck of rain during your stay, we highly recommend South Haven (25 minutes away) for a movie at their historic three-screen theater and ice cream at Sherman's Dairy.

This house was huge! It was perfect for our family reunion. The kids loved the game room and cinema in the basement. The place was clean, and check-in was seamless. It is also less than a mile from the Saugatuck harbor, so in the mornings we would walk to get coffee. All in all, we were thrilled with this house and had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend this house.

Mill Pond did a very nice job during the entire rental process. Their team was very friendly and called before the rental and asked if we had any questions about the area. In addition, they called and asked about our stay. I highly recommend using Mill Pond for rentals in this area.

The house was great and so roomy! We loved the large table in the kitchen, the basement entertainment was great. We enjoyed the pool table, air hockey, pop-shot and movie theater. We were thankful for the screened porch and the bathrooms were set up good. The proximity to town was great, only 1 mile away yet secluded.
