Perfect place for weekend getaway

Peterson Mill was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. The property was very clean and in a great location. Walkable to downtown Saugatuck yet tucked away to feel private and quiet. We enjoyed hiking in saugatuck dunes state park nearby with our dog. Would definitely stay here again!
