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!

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!

This space is so charming and delightful. You really feel secluded, even though everything worth seeing in Saugatauk is a stones throw away. Mill Pond Realty is very thoughtful about ensuring you have everything you need. We would revisit in a heartbeat.

We booked the Birdie Cottage to get a change of scenery. Saugatuck is just a little over an hour from home, but this little cottage and the town made us feel like we really got away. The cottage is so cute and had everything we needed to cook and relax. The kitchen is great. We brought firewood and had a fire going nearly the whole time during our stay. We were brought our 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy along for hiking and walks so the fenced yard was great! Its an easy ~10-15 walk to town and just a 5 minute drive to Saugatuck Dunes State Park. Theres a bike path that could take you there too. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the loft sleeping space is a little tight, height wise. We wondered if it could be reconfigured so the bed isnt under the lowest part of the ceiling. Its still cute though and the bed was comfortable. Would love to enjoy the screened porch and deck in warmer weather.

We loved our stay at the Birdie Cottage. We brought our dogs who enjoyed the walks around town and nearby hiking. The house was the perfect size. We came in late November so the ability to have a fire at night was a huge plus. We really loved your space and sincerely appreciate your help with the landscapers. All around this was a wonderful stay for us. Thank you!

This house is an absolute gem tucked away in the pines. Its like an extra large tiny house. We visited over a snowy winter weekend and the space & location really delivered! We enjoyed cooking and eating (and cleaning up!) in the beautiful kitchen with the big picture window looking out at the snow. The large butcher block table was great for playing board games and enjoying meals. The fireplace was a big hit as well, we barely needed to turn the television on as we preferred to watch the fire! We brought our own bedding, I do suggest that you do as well, including pillows. All the bedding here is very standard and I feel we wouldnt have been quite as cozy without those comforts. This house is exactly as described location wise, right down the street from all of Saugatucks shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful time walking from the house to Downtown several times, there is a large sidewalk path. I highly recommend this house and would absolutely stay again!

The Birdie Cottage was the perfect fall getaway for our family of 3. Our daughter was quite comfortable in the downstairs bed and my husband and I were cozy in the loft. The space was so cute and very private as well. You are so close to everything downtown and taking a walk to town was the highlight of the days. Would love to experience the Cardinal Cottage in the summer as well.
