About this property
Fenced Downtown Douglas Home near Water | Hot Tub
Slip into the steaming hot tub y, gather around the fire pit as evening falls, and wake up to coffee on a screened porch that feels like a well-kept secret. Welcome to Chestnut House - one of Airbnb's Guest Favorites in Douglas. Stay near the sand! This Douglas, MI getaway is a short drive or easy bike ride from pristine Douglas Beach and world-renowned Oval Beach.
The Chestnut House, built in 1871 and freshly renovated with genuine care, is the rare kind of place that feels both timeless and deeply comfortable. Original character is everywhere - the creak of old floorboards, tall windows flooding every room with natural light, the satisfying weight of a home loved for over 150 years. The renovation enhanced all of that without erasing any of it.
WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP Three well-appointed bedrooms sleep up to 6 guests across two floors. The primary bedroom upstairs features an en-suite bath. The two main floor bedrooms share a full bathroom. Ideal for couples, solo guests, or a remote workspace.
THE HOT TUB Your private hot tub is ready year-round - no seasonal shutdowns. Pre-heated and waiting from the moment you arrive. Seats 2-4 guests with spa towels located in a basket in the dining room for your use.
THE OUTDOOR OASIS Fully fenced, completely private, and built for real outdoor living. Your dogs can roam free while you settle in and properly relax. • Private hot tub - year-round, pre-heated on arrival • Wood-burning fire pit with seating · Firewood [BYO] · Lighters + fire starter provided • Gas BBQ grill • Outdoor dining area - seats 8 • Fenced lawn - spacious and dog-friendly • Putting Green
THE SCREENED SUNROOM The room that earns the most unprompted praise in guest reviews. Light-filled and airy in the morning, golden and warm by late afternoon - perfect for starting the day with a warm mug or ending it with a glass of wine and nowhere to be.
THE KITCHEN & DINING Fully stocked and genuinely thoughtful. The spacious dining area is made for slow, lingering meals.
PERFECT FOR Couples · Families with kids · Friend groups · Dog owners · Remote workers · Anyone after the Douglas–Saugatuck experience at its best
