A historic Lakeshore Cottage across from Douglas Beach!
This darling, 2-story beach cottage is just a few hundred feet from the entrance to Douglas Beach and the shores of Lake Michigan. An unbeatable location and proximity to the areaâs limitless recreational activities make Sundown Cottage the perfect cottage for your next getaway or family vacation. Spend days splashing in the Lake Michigan waters, hiking the dunes, and shopping/dining in downtown Douglas (less than a mile away). Then head back to the cottage and enjoy a spectacular sunset from the expansive front porch.
Entering this rustic lake cottage will take many guests back to the days of their youth.
The downstairs features a living area with a wood burning fireplace and Apple TV for your enjoyment and relaxation. The kitchen has a simple but efficient layout for preparing food with a large fridge and pantry. A full bath with a shower/tub is located around the corner, and a laundry area with a washer and dryer. Beach towels are provided and available for your use.
The upstairs has four bedrooms. The two main bedrooms have queen beds, including a dresser and closet. The two front bedrooms both have two twin beds in each room (the bunkbed shown is now two twin beds). Both front bedrooms have closets. There is new carpet going up the stairs and in two bedrooms with twin beds. There is a full bath with a shower at the end of the hall for everyoneâs use. Towels and linens are supplied.
The front porch is a favorite place for guests to relax. It expands across the front of the house and has more than enough seating for guests to comfortably enjoy the view.
The back of the cottage has a Solo stove fire pit, a picnic table, and a new Weber gas grill which is provided for your use. Need a separate space to quietly work or have a guest that likes space for themselves? The Bunkhouse is available for an extra fee. Please inquire before booking.
Daily walks down the Lakeshore are a dreamy experience. The walk is two miles of gorgeous sand bluffs overlooking the lake. A beautiful stretch of historic lakeside road to walk, run and ride bikes.
Comfy, cozy and clean! Our family enjoyed our stay at Sundown cottage. Great location with the beach steps away. The front porch was our favorite spot!
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect location, great sleeping arrangements and the outdoor shower was a big hit! Definitely interested in booking again.
We had a great week at the cottage! The location is perfect - across the street from the beach, walkable to downtown Douglas, minutes from Saugatuck. The house was large, clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with cooking, cleaning, and beach essentials. We had a big crew and never felt on top of each other. The screened front porch was a favorite place to hang for all and the backyard was big enough for kids to play and adults to have dinner. Outdoor shower was a nice bonus after the beach, too!
Loved our week in Saugatuck Douglass at sundown cottage. There are plenty of beds in this comfy cottage. It had everything we needed. We loved the proximity to Douglasâs beach and the laid back family vibe of the neighborhood. Loved it!
Really enjoyed our stay at this Lakeshore Cottage. Kim was great to deal, responsive and nice. We comfortably slept 8 with dogs and never felt cramped. Front porch is so relaxing, back patio was great, fully stocked kitchen was used for prepping a big meal for a larger group. Weber grill, just all-around great stay.
This cottage is exactly what I was looking for (6 adults, 2 toddlers)⊠walking distance to the beach, plenty of room for gathering together, as well as places for privacy. While the house is âvintageâ, it was clean and has AC, dishwasher, washer/dryer. We LOVED the expansive screened-in front porch, and the lovely deck area in the backyard. Kim, the property manager, was kind and responded immediately when we had questions. It was the perfect home base for three generations to gather, explore and enjoy the Douglas/Saugatuck area! We are a family who cooks⊠while the kitchen is small, it is well-stocked with glassware, cookware, utensils, and even spices. We also appreciated that there was dish soap, garbage bags, laundry soap available for use. Also plenty of towels, beach towels- plus the use of six beach chairs! The toddlers loved the wooden blocks to play with and the big basket of crayons. Even the weather cooperated! All-in-all, a great vacation with many happy memories made!
