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.

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. Wineries, galleries, restaurants, and Lake Michigan’s shoreline are all within easy reach—making The Gallery Loft a distinctive and inspiring base to explore the best of the Art Coast.

Delightful place to stay with abundant indoor and outdoor areas for lounging, cooking, eating, reading, watching a show, etc. It felt really special to be in such a unique historical building, beautifully transformed into an art gallery/lodging space. Slept comfortably and appreciated that the upstairs guests were quiet. It was tempting to never leave . . . but we were frequent diners at the Pennyroyal cafe, biked into town one day, and drove several times over to Saugatuck Dunes and Douglas Beach from this great launching spot. Definitely top on my list of favorite all-time Air BnBs!

Absolutely loved this place! I am a designer and musician and to stay here was so inspiring and relaxing. My wife and I enjoyed a long weekend here away from the Chicago hustle and it was everything we needed. Very clean and well supplied with kitchenware and bathroom amenities. One of the coolest properties we’ve ever stayed. Great communication from the host/property manager! Hoping to come back again one day.
