The Roost at The Southerner

Adorable pet-friendly cottage within walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and all it has to offer. Main room offers a gas fireplace, TV and full kitchen with a pull-out loveseat and space to dine. Queen bed in bedroom, ensuite bath with shower and laundry room. A/C, ceiling fans & shady setting. Private parking and outdoor garden area. Perfect stay for a couple + pets. Be sure to take advantage of the popular restaurant The Southerner right next door. The restaurant can be quite busy in the summer so there's fantastic people watching from your private patio but it ends service at 10pm so no late night noise or commotion.

The size was perfect for my adult daughter and I for a few days. The kitchen was well-stocked and it was nice to have a Keurig and coffee pot, with coffee supplied for each. We even used the fireplace one night! Great location! Easy 10 minute walk to town, and far enough away that it was quiet. We took the Chain Ferry in town to get across the river to lots of hiking trails and Oval Beach. Thanks for making our first time to Saugatuck so enjoyable!
