Lovely property with wonderful deck and hot tub, comfortable beds, terrific kitchen with all utensils needed. This is our third year at Heartland for our family vacations. We are very happy with the property and always have a wonderful time there.
The Heartland House is beautiful and well appointed! The kitchen had all the appliances and cookware/tableware you need. The bedrooms were cute, comfortable, and had ceiling fans. Plently of space for ten people, with room to relax outside or stay inside and play games on a rainy day. Downtown and mini-golf are a short walk away. On a side note, the landscaping and variety of trees/plants was an additional delight!
We stayed at Heartland House for our family vacation, July 5-9, 2025. Myself and my children, their spouses and my grandchildren. It was truly amazing! We were able to create so many amazing memories because Heartland House was perfect! The secluded private property is outlined by trees for privacy, but still so close to the darling town of Saugatuck and wonderful Oval Beach. One of our favorite spaces was the cozy front porch. We spent so much time enjoying the nice weather on the relaxing front porch with comfy furniture. We loved making smores by the sweet firepit area across from the front porch. The back deck and yard were perfect, with the very nice hot tub that one of my family members was always enjoying! There are so many comfortable gathering spaces, downstairs, upstairs and the sweet sunroom. The top of the line kitchen was quite remarkable with everything we needed to create wonderful family meals and then when we were all able to sit together at the big dining room table... that was a cherished moment that this mom and grandma will never forget! Each bedroom and bed was very comfortable and decorated so cute. Heartland House will always be a wonderful family vacation memory for us and we will be back for sure!
This home is in the perfect location - a quick drive to downtown Saugatuck or about a 20 minute walk. We explored nearby beaches, the towns of Douglas, Saugatuck and Holland during our stay. There is a wide selection of games in the basement for any down time (or when it happens to rain during the 4th of July festivities). The house is big enough that we could all be together (13 of us) or find some quiet places to read/nap/knit. The outside decks were wonderful for watching wildlife (we saw a doe and two fawns, rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, birds). The front porch was also a great spot to sit and enjoy the rain. If you are planning a stay in this area, we would highly recommend this home!
The house and amenities were spot on. We had everything we needed and the house was spotless when we arrived. Two minutes by car from downtown Saugatuck. The stressful part was the lack of response from the host on the months leading up to the stay. Gary was very kind and apologetic but not hearing from him for weeks on end was really stressful. I would love to rent from Gary again. A quick response relieves a lot of stress. Thank you.
We have stayed at the Heartland multiple times and have always had excellent accommodations. Home owner has gone above and beyond to make our stay one of ease, comfort and relaxation. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful trip! House is so beautiful we hated leaving! Host was super to converse with and everything you could possibly need was there!!! We will be back!!
Weâve been having our multi generation womenâs gathering here for several years. Everything in the house is set up perfectly for a large gathering and we love it. The location is perfect to walk downtown or to just hang out on the deck or at the fire pit.
Spent our annual girls getaway at this lovely home and had awesome time. Everyone loved it! Location is great, close to everything in town but in quiet private neighborhood. Large porches and yard with plenty of parking, fantastic well stocked kitchen, nice hot tub and clean comfortable beds. There âs plenty of seating inside and out for everyone.
Also the host is very responsive and great to work with. Definitely recommend this lovely home!!
This was our second family reunion stay at Heartland. We love it there. Gary is a wonderful host and is very responsive to any minor issues that come up. We are already scheduled to come back next year.
Heartland house was the perfect place for our family to stay for a getaway together. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of serving dishes, utensils, appliances, etc. Beds were very comfortable. The property was quiet yet only minutes from town.
We had a wonderful time in Saugatuck. The houses location was perfect for everywhere we wanted to go. The large dining table was the perfect place for our group of 10 to eat and visit. The private grounds were very nice especially the evenings we sat around the fire pit! Thank you!`
This well cared for property is a little gem in Saugatuck. The grounds were well taken care and the outside sitting areas were perfect for our group (including reading in the hammock and yoga on the front porch). The well equipped kitchen had everything we needed for food prep and cooking.Our beds (all five) were comfy and we all liked our Beekman toiletries that were a nice addition in each room. Overall, the house is a charming Michigan cottage !
This was a great place for our family to join together and celebrate a milestone 60th birthday for wife, mom and grandmother.
All who came had a great time and we will definitely be back again sometime in the near future!
We rent a home every year for our family Christmas weekend. This home was just perfect. Lots of details, quality, and amenities that fit every need. From newer, fun games to a decorated home for the holidays, plenty of towels, and lots of places to sit and gather. A gem.
We have stayed here 3 times for our annual girls weekend and it is just wonderful. We feel so comfortable in this house and the layout is perfect for such a large group. We will be back!
This house was wonderful for our girl's get away weekend. We have been doing these weekends for about 25 years.
Loved the space in this house, the yard and porch are great. Right across the street is a walking path to town.
We did have a problem with the refrigerator, but owner addressed it right away. Already looked to see if it's available for us next year and sadly it is not. But would definitely stay here again sometime.
The setting of Heartland House seems like you are miles away from any hustle-bustle, but within minutes you can be at some of the best galleries, shopping, restaurants and harbor life around!
The vintage character, from woodwork to bathrooms, has been impeccably taken care of over the years. The bike path at the property entrance makes it easy to ride around the countryside or to quickly get to downtown. The yard has so much space for all sorts of activities.
