Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The Riverside Retreat is nestled alongside the Kalamazoo River in Saugatuck, where you can spend the day watching boats pass by and see the historic chain ferry bringing passengers to and from downtown. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the proximity to Oval Beach, consistently rated as one of the top beaches in the nation, where sunsets over Lake Michigan are nothing short of magical. Whether it's exploring the nearby dunes, hiking through lush trails, or simply enjoying a leisurely day by the water, there's no shortage of outdoor activities to engage in right outside your doorstep. Just across the river is downtown Saugatuck, which is renowned for its quaint, picturesque streets brimming with artisan coffee shops, local restaurants, unique boutiques and vibrant galleries. It's a quick ride on the chain ferry to get there, or a 3-mile drive via the bridge over Lake Kalamazoo.

Guest Access

You will have private access to the entire condo, including 6 balconies. There are three condos below on the ground floor, but you will not be sharing any space with them.

This place is THE BEST! Everything was as listed, cleanest rental I've ever been in! View was A+, we felt like we had privacy, but yet we were so close to everything. The beds/pillows were perfect, not cheap feeling. The owners have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, we will definitely be back! This is definitely a 5 star rental!

To say we enjoyed our stay is an understatement. The home is gorgeous, the rental is thoughtfully stocked with everything and then some you could possibly want or need during your stay. We will definitely be back.

The house was amazing and the host Chad was wonderful. We would definitely stay in one of Chad's houses again. The house is large enough for a family with plenty of sleeping areas. The living room sofa was incredibly comfortable to sleep on. The views are amazing. It was so peaceful to just sit in the living area in front of the windows and watch the birds and the boats go by. It was also nice to sit out on the balcony in the early mornings and evenings with coffee. We drove over to Oval park for the sunset, which was spectacular, and it was only a couple minute drive. Chad got the gas fireplace set up for the season and that was nice to use as well. Overall very happy with our stay, for both the house and Chad's hosting.

Beautiful home with gorgeous views of the water. Parking was so easy. Was fun to watch the boats go up and down the river. Unfortunately the chain ferry had already closed up for the season but it was a short drive to Saugatuck. Beds were comfortable. Clean home. Appreciated the portable fan and extra supplies if needed. Chad was very responsive and we truly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay again.

This space is a true architectural gem—beautifully designed and thoughtfully positioned to hug the shoreline, offering breathtaking views. The interior was furnished comfortably and in keeping with the design of the building. Thoughtfully chosen art and art books invite you to sit and relax. Everything was so comfortable that we ended up enjoying several meals at “home” instead of dining out. And yet the home is located just minutes from downtown Saugatuck. The host was very friendly and incredibly responsive and helpful. We’ll be back!

I can’t say enough about what a beautiful place that was clean perfect inviting they even had some welcome drinks which we didn’t drink, but it was very thoughtful. Plus Chad and David are very proactive. Excellent experience. We loved it and will definitely be back. We travel a ton but this was the best overall. Meg and Doug

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Saugatuck! The views of the Kalamazoo River are simply stunning — whether enjoying morning coffee on the deck or watching the sunset reflect off the water, it’s hard to pull yourself away. The location couldn’t be better: just across the river from downtown, with all the great restaurants, art galleries, and boutique shops only a short walk or quick drive away. For those who love the outdoors, the property offers fantastic access to hiking trails, making it easy to explore the area’s natural beauty before heading into town for dinner. The combination of peaceful riverfront scenery and close proximity to everything Saugatuck has to offer makes this spot a perfect getaway. Highly recommended!
