Description

Art Coast Cottage

This is the cottage you've been looking for. An escape from ordinary life, tucked away in the Lake Michigan sand dunes near the Oxbow School of Art campus. You will feel as though you've been transported into another time and place. This secluded, quiet, wooded setting is truly magical!


Take joy in the slower pace and be off the beaten path. Relax on the wrap-around covered porch with your morning cup of coffee while listening to the songs of the local birds. If Lake Michigan is calling your name, you have the option of walking, biking, or driving to the Oval Beach which is only 1.2 miles by road. Mt. Baldhead is 0.5 of a mile away for great hiking and beautiful views, and then perhaps a backside hike down to Oval Beach! The Chain Ferry is nearby as well, 0.7 from the cottage, and will take you across the river into the heart of Saugatuck for great shopping and dining. In the evenings, you'll want to gather around the fire pit to make s'mores and laugh about times gone by or sit at the table chatting, playing cards, assembling puzzles, or playing board games.

Built in 2012, the “Art Coast Cottage” shows near new.  The cottage offers all the modern amenities including a fully equipped kitchen and adjacent dining area are great for meals at home. The dining table is made out of a family shipping crate dating back to 1924 - truly magical! Enjoy a quick breakfast before you go out exploring for all that Saugatuck has to offer or make an entire dinner to eat at home. The living room boasts soaring ceilings and surrounding extra-large windows with beautiful views of the surrounding woods. You will want to sit and visit with your loved ones for hours. The main level has two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower tub combo adding convenience for those who may have a hard time with stairs. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Staying at the Art Coast Cottage is your opportunity to experience a location many only dream of...

It was great! This was one of the nicest places weve ever rented. Well appointed, great space, beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay at the Art Cottage! We had a family of eight people including two toddlers, and there was something for everyone. The location in the woods close to the art school and dune trails was lovely - and it was great that we were just a short drive to Saugatuck. You could even walk to the chain ferry if you wanted to make the trek. Absolutely loved the ring game on the porch. We built a fire and made smores on two nights of the stay. Lots of spiders outside, but thats to be expected in the woods. Highly recommended for families!

This lovely cottage feels like it is in the middle of the woods- totally quiet and away from the crowds, saw deer wandering around every day. The quiet of camping but the comforts and conveniences of a home.

We enjoyed our stay! The house was nicely situated in a wooded area on the Oxbow Art School campus. We loved hiking the Crows Nest trail just steps from the house. If youre looking for a sunny summer getaway, this house is not for you. It was quite dark all day and there were tons of bugs since we were in the woods. Would be lovely in the winter!

Beautiful location! If you want a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect home. Close enough to really enjoy a Saugatuck an Douglas, but we were also able to disconnect and enjoy some nature. Very unique!

Perfect spot for our college friend reunion weekend! We had a blast drinking wine by the fire, shopping all day in town and eating at some of the fun local haunts. The kitchen was stocked amazingly well! The fire pit was a huge plus for us. We will be back for sure!

Celebrated a 40th birthday with 3 couples here. House was wonderful and cute and had everything all of us needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pans and dishes youll need which was great. We loved how private and comfortable the house is. The only drawbacks are that there is limited parking (we had to jam 3 cars into the small space) and you have to go into town to get your house keys. We would highly recommend to other small groups.

Great location - close to the beaches, sand dunes and tucked away. A perfect escape from the city. Really enjoyed our stay here! The location was really nice and there was a great hike just down the road. Enjoyed our escape from the city here!

We had a fantastic time. The house was perfect for my family and just like the pictures. We really enjoyed the wrap around porch with a nice porch swing and the fire pit outside. The location was very relaxing, private, and easy access to the beach, walking trails, and the town. The sunsets on the beach were amazing!! It couldnt have been more perfect. At night we played board games at the kitchen table. The rooms and the inside of the house was also perfect for us and just as described. I cant wait to visit again. I have to also say that the hosts were absolutely perfect. From booking, to check in, to answering questions, to check out, they were extremely responsive and kind and willing to help. That alone makes a trip worthwhile. I would definitely rent from them again.

This vacation home was AMAZING and everything my husband and I needed for a recharge. The Crows Nest hiking trail in walking distance was great to foster our outdoorsy side and then being so close to town and also other "lake towns" was amazing. The quiet and peacefulness was all I needed after the craziness of working face first in COVID for a year to date. Its a great location that allows for adventure and a little city life.

Super cute house, saw lots of deer. Nice accommodations, great local store. Its a managed property, so it feels sterile, which I enjoyed. If youre not into religious imagery, be aware there is some in here. Me and my two friends had a great time.

This property is so special! Nestled in the quiet woods of Mount Baldhead Park - we truly felt like we were able to escape, unwind, and fully relax. Mill Pond was an excellent realtor for the property and the home itself delivered beyond our expectations. We hope to come back soon!

This space was perfect for a girls weekend getaway! Close to lots of wineries and shops. No issue finding a spot to dine in or order carry out.
