I have stayed here with my husband for many, many years during the winter.

We are glad to still get away...but would like to request that the improvements not be done during the months of December or January in the future! If you are reading this- book in the summer-lol.

The room was spacious and had everything we needed for an evening away from the kids. Jacuzzi? Check! Fireplace? Check! The staff was pleasant and accommodating. We really appreciated having board games and cards available to borrow. The breakfast was pretty awesome and arrived right on time. The staff was always kind enough to give us privacy, leaving breakfast and other deliveries outside of the door. Our only regret was that the lakeview room is directly adjacent to the lobby. Had we known this, we may have choosen a different room. Overall it didn't negatively impact our experience

The location is hard to beat, it's tucked away in a quiet, wooded setting that feels private and peaceful, yet still very convenient. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained, with plenty of space for kids to play and for adults to unwind. Our kids had an absolute blast biking around and playing outside. It was great to see them enjoy the space so much. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the amenities. We had a blast playing pickleball during the day, and then relaxing in the outdoor hot tubs in the evening. Such a great way to end the day! It's also conveniently located about a 15-minute drive from Oval Beach and downtown Saugatuck, making it easy to enjoy the beach and explore the town without going far. Overall, this place is a hidden gem perfect for families or anyone looking to unwind in nature while still being close to great attractions. We'll definitely be back!

We've been coming here for years with our two kids, who get incredibly excited every single time we plan a trip. It's one of the few places where both adults and kids genuinely have something to look forward to. Whether it's a relaxing weekend away, celebrating birthdays, or just unplugging for a bit, Dollybrook never disappoints. What really stands out is how versatile the property is. We've celebrated our kids' birthdays here, brought friends for their birthdays, and even used it for work gatherings. Every time, it feels just as special as the first visit. After 10+ stays, that consistency says a lot. It's clean, well-maintained, peaceful, and simply a place where great memories happen. Highly recommend, whether you're coming with family, friends, or colleagues.

We had a "romance" package which included wine, $50 credit to a restaurant and chocolate. The room was cozy with a faux fire place and a room overlooking some trees and down to the water.

The best. THE BEST!…read more Love Beechwood Manor! Stayed here a few weeks ago for my birthday weekend when I found a special online for 2 nights plus one one hour free in-room massage, gift certificate to a restaurant in downtown Saugatuck, and of course the two complimentary brekkies (being that it's a B&B, of course) for $388. Such a steal! The house itself is lovely. Built in the 1870s and renovated a bit but still keeping that Victorian charm. A comfy downstairs sitting area, and cozy dining room and another kitchenette area with a fridge (stocked with complimentary sodas and water), water pot for tea, hot chocolate, etc, and coffee. Oh yay! We stayed in Enid, the largest of the rooms. Very spacious with a sitting area of two chairs and a table, a couple of nightstands, a chest of drawers, a queen sized bed (very comfy and cozy), a fireplace, a small cable tv and dvd player, and cd/radio. It was actually really nice to unplug a bit so we didn't really watch any tv but it was there if you need it. Instead we mostly just lounged around listening to classical music on the radio and Prairie Home Companion. Fit the feel of the room nicely! The adjoining bathroom is a good size too with a lovely and deep clawfoot bathtub (that I definitely took a soak in. AHHH so nice!) and a separate shower. Complimentary bathrobes added to the cozy feeling and the windows had a lovely view for just perching and looking outside. Add that to the most amazing massage ever (seriously, one of the best I've ever had and I'm hard to please) and I walked out of there feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. The hosts/owners, Sal and Gregg are just lovely. Really friendly and chatty, I felt like an honored guest. And they are no slouches in the kitchen, either! Our breakfasts were DELICIOUS. The first day I had the eggs benedict (although the smell of the waffles sure were intoxicating!) and the next morning I had the sweet potato pancakes which I had to force myself to stop eating because they were so tasty but oh so filling! The grounds are lovely and I can't wait to come back in warmer weather for a sit on the porch looking at the trees and Kalamazoo river peaking through (while their super friendly kitty Oscar rubs against your ankles--but don't worry cat allergy folks, kitty does not come into the guest quarters. We only saw him chillin' outside). If you've never been to a B&B I highly recommend starting with Beechwood Manor. Although it's likely any others you visit may not live up!

Ethan Barde is the owner of Quaint Cottages. A rental was paid for by 4 young women and mothers…read morethrough Airbnb. While the women were asleep, a drunk trespasser entered their rented Quaint Cottage due to a faulty lock system, and the women awoke in the morning to find the trespasser still in their home. The police were contacted, and the trespasser left with no harm to the women. Thankfully, no one was hurt in this traumatic incident. Sadly, this has not been the case for all women in these situations. This incident does not meet Airbnb qualifications for a refund and the host, Ethan Barde, has also rejected the women in returning their money for their stay by advocating for the house's unreliable "smart" lock system and wrongfully logged lock status. Since there was an error in the lock system, the police report states that there was no forced entry. Forced entry is a terrifying thought. However, a stranger walking right into your already unfamiliar rental unit because of a nonfunctioning lock system is another thing. This is an injustice in my community of women, and I'd hate for it to go any further. My friend and I have also worked with Ethan in renting this home. What if this had been a family with children? This is how Ethan Barde and Airbnb treat their customers and families that keep their businesses running. Your money will be taken as if it's not a business transaction between business people. Ethan will fight to have your money as if it is his right and leave you with no rights to safety within his establishments. Business is not your right when safety is compromised within your business. A full refund is the least of what is owed to these women and mothers.
