Good to know

Originally built in 1950 as an auto body shop and most recently a beloved art gallery, this unique space retains its raw, authentic character—including the subtle, colorful splatters of paint on the floors that tell a story all their own.

Step inside to find a spacious open-concept living area with a full kitchen, dining area, and lounge for gathering. A spiral staircase leads to a cozy loft office—perfect for reading, writing, or remote work. Both bedrooms sit at the back of the home for quiet privacy. The primary suite features a king bed and private deck overlooking the expansive lawn and gardens, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed. Being a loft, the top portion of the second bedroom walls are open to the surrounding living areas. The full bathroom includes a washer and dryer for added convenience. Outdoors, nearly 2 acres of landscaped grounds invite relaxation. Multiple decks and shaded nooks create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or al fresco dinners under the trees. You'll also find a gas grill and fire pit, both of which are shared with the apartment upstairs. Centrally located on Blue Star Highway, you’re just 2 minutes to downtown Saugatuck, 3 minutes to downtown Douglas and under 10 minutes to Oval Beach.

This was probably my favorite place I've stayed in Saugatuck and I have been in some wonderful spots over the years! This was previously a favorite art gallery of mine, so to get to stay here, in this creative and art-filled space was so inspirational and just what my husband and I needed! It was beyond peaceful, which was hard to believe with Pennyroyal restaurant next door (we loved it--amazing food, drinks and patio just steps out the door). The backyard was serene and the interior was so cozy—what a getaway. We slept wonderfully in the king bed and the house was appointed like NO OTHER Airbnb I have ever stayed in, but like they all should strive to be. Kudos to Chad for providing EVERYTHING needed -- whole bean coffee (delicious), ice in the freezer, makeup wipes, laundry & dishwasher detergent, olive oil & tons more. My only caveat certainly no fault, but fair warning): keep the door locked while you're there--people walked in every day we were there looking for the art gallery!

We were the very first guests to stay in this Airbnb! The space was unique and awesome!! Host was great. The decor was stylish and the art was super cool. It was very clean and had every amenity you could hope for!!! It had a beautiful yard as well and our dog enjoyed walking the grounds and the walking path is directly across the street. Pennyroyal is right next door and the smoked fish dip is delicious and a must try! Would not hesitate to book again.
