Nice porch room
We enjoyed the porch room and the fenced in backyard. We didn’t enjoy all the dog fur in the porch room and all the rugs in the house smell like dog. Also, the front door knob wouldn’t stay on.

Another Great Stay
We love the location of the house, easy walk into town. The porch was definitely our favorite place to hang out and our pups loved the enclosed yard. Not our first time staying here and definitely will not be our last. Cheers!

A long weekend with our puppy dogs
Wonderful getaway with our two dogs! The fenced in yard kept our boys safe and the large screened in front porch was a plus. The location was perfect. Close to downtown but was very quiet and cozy.

Cozy Cottage
We loved our stay at Rise N Shine! The cottage was very cute and comfortable, with extra perks of a fenced yard and lovely sun porch. It was conveniently located, clean and had all the amenities we needed. Can't wait to go back!

Saugatuck retreat
We have been coming to this house for 3 years and love this home. Great for our dog to romp in the backyard. ( Needs a new dog waste container )😉 Love the updates outside and on front porch making it an all season room. This house is a short walk to town which is what we did on a daily basis. Great restaurants, most are dog friendly outside along with many of the shops Lady Bird is a great new upscale restaurant, along with Chop house We will be back next year !

This was our third visit and still our favorite place in Saugatuck. Nicely furnished and well equipped house. A short walk from town but a world away. Can’t wait to return!

Wedding wk-end Get away
This property is in a great location. One of the main reasons chosen, close to the wedding venue we were attending. Also, we could bring our dog. Sadly, we lost our fur baby since the booking, but decided to keep the reservation based on the great reviews & being so close to the wedding venue. Close to downtown & local attractions. Overall, the house is nice & decorated very cute. However, we found the living room/ kitchen area & sunroom to have a very strong terrible odor. Even after opening windows to air out the house, didn’t get rid of the odor. We chose the property based on many positive reviews for cleanliness, we found it lacking overall in this area. For the amount we pay per night & extra charges for cleaning etc. I expect better, especially when I’m expected to take out all the trash, wash the towels used & remove all the used bedding before we check out. Check in/out was made very easy. House equipped nicely with essentials .

Another great home for our annual Saugatuck summer vacation!
We have been coming to Saugatuck for 10 years and found a couple homes we love to make ours for the week. This was our first time staying here and loved it. Location is on outskirts of town so felt secluded, but could easily walk to downtown for food, drinks and shopping. This house has a fenced in yard which was perfect for our doggy. House was super clean, plenty of space for a family of four. We loved the screened in patio and spent a lot of time out there relaxing!

Very nice home except….
Very cute home but the entryway from the sunroom to enter the house there is a high step over which I did not see because I was carrying things into the house and tripped and fell. This should be marked at eye level. I am ok but landed on a knee that I am having replaced next week. Pretty painful. Great place but please mark this hazard.

Tiptoe through the tulips
The house is beautiful and comfortable. Close to downtown Saugatuck. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds and well appointed amenities. Close to driving to Lake Michigan beaches. We came for the Holland tulip festival. Which was beautiful.

Pet friendly place
This was a cute, comfortable cottage with a wonderful screened in porch. Street was quiet and not too far of a walk to town. My only complaint is that the bedrooms undoubtedly smelled like dog urine. I understand it’s a pet friendly home, but rugs/bed shirts might be a bad idea for furry friends marking their territory.

Everything about the stay was awesome!
This was a perfect place for us to stay as I had to do a job in the area and my family wanted to join me. The house is great! The location was perfect and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. Walking distance to town, everything was great! The home was immaculate. They even had a toy and treat for our dog. There was a small issue with the lighting, but the hosts were completely responsive and willing to help everything got figured out with ease.

Excellent for families & dogs!
We loved our time at Rise N Shine with our 1.5 year old toddler & 10 year old dog. The house is very well stocked and was incredibly clean. We were pleased with the ceiling fans in both bedrooms & the large tub in one of the bathrooms. The landscaping & fenced backyard are beautiful, such an added bonus for us! We easily walked downtown each day and wandered the quiet surrounding streets for a family walk each evening before bedtime. My husband and I enjoyed the screened in front porch during nap time! We’re already looking forward to another stay next year!

Cute and cozy
Overall, the home was lovely. Well decorated. It looked loved. It is small, but super cozy. There were 2 of us (mom and son) and any more would have felt crowded. There were some issues with hot water and the stove, but we managed. Backyard was perfect for our 5 month old puppy - safe and secure. The neighborhood is very nice and walked to the town of Saugatuck and found other nice paths. We would return.
