About this property

Hansel And Gretel Cottage in downtown Saugatuck

Follow the path to this enchanting award winning “cottage”. With charm, color and impeccable attention to detail - you will feel you have stepped into your own modern fairytale. This thoughtfully planned out three bedroom, three and one half bathroom layout offers plenty of room and privacy for everyone. Located “On the Hill” in Saugatuck, this desirable location is sure to fulfill all your vacationing needs. The splendid views of the gothic church across the street complete the storybook feel of this destination.

Color, warmth and natural light are found throughout the two stories with a full lower level. On the main level you will find a modern and spacious kitchen which is a cooks dream. Enjoy your meals in the adjacent dining area with seating for 6. The comfortable living room with a gas stove fireplace encourages quiet relaxation and stimulating conversation with family and friends. The lower level family room offers a Smart HDTV and Blu-ray for additional entertainment. Those who want a little more solitude will find the loft tucked away on the second level to be the perfect escape.

The three bedrooms, each with a Queen bed are thoughtfully positioned, one on each floor offering plenty of privacy for all guests. The upper level Master Suite offers a private bath with his/hers sinks, large tub for soaking and beautiful tile/stone walk-in shower. There is also a large private balcony - perfect for that morning cup of coffee or cocktail in the evening while watching the locals stroll by. A main floor guest room has a Queen bed and private full bath with a tub/shower. The third guest room is on the lower level and offers a Queen bed. A full bath with a walk-in shower is accessible from the hall. Beautiful tile and stonework is found throughout all levels of the home.

The character and charm of inside continues once you step outside. Surrounded by a picture perfect picket fence, it’s as if you are in your own little haven. Imagine starting your day on the front porch with the paper, evenings grilling and hanging out on the comfortable lounge patio and wrapping up with a crackling fire under the stars gathered around the built-in fire pit area. Great amenities and a convenient location to downtown Saugatuck (2 blocks) and only a short 5-7 minute drive to immaculate area beaches such as Douglas Beach and Oval Beach. Those wanting to complete Grimm’s tale with their own walk thru the forest should be sure to explore.

I also have a listing in Traverse City, if interested. Check out Asylum 58, thank you!

Charming Saugatuck Home
We had a delightful stay at Hansel and Gretel! Location was unbeatable with its very quiet neighborhood and easy walking distance to downtown. The home was very comfortable and immaculate. The host Angela is a delight and quick to respond to any questions. We will absolutely stay at Hansel and Gretel again! Thank you Angela for sharing your wonderful home!

Perfect spot close to town
Wow, it's a story book setting and the amenities are fantastic! Everyone has their own private bathroom and the communal spaces are just perfect inside and out. Great location, wonderfully clean and well maintained with easy and responsive communication. Do not hesitate to book this special property!

It doesn't get better than this in Saugatuck
I always pride myself in finding the best vacation homes when my group of friends and I travel around the world. In the small, lovely Village of Saugatuck, this property didn't just meet our expectations. It blew them out of the water. All of the appointments at the home are wonderful and just as described in the listing and more. Check-in was a breeze and we were able to begin our weekend getaway plans immediately. The kitchen and outdoor grill were absolutely perfect. We ended up canceling our dinner reservations both nights and elected to stay in and cook so that we could enjoy the property that much more. Accommodations for our group of three were more than perfect. We each loved having our own dedicated sleeping spaces and bathrooms including the extra powder room on the main level. I cannot say enough about the Hansel And Gretel Cottage in downtown Saugatuck except for the fact that I can't wait to be able to return and stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Pastorelli

Host profile image
I'm a Chicago native where I work as an independent jewelry designer and also re-seller of vintage collectibles, housewares, books and oddities. I also volunteer as a wolf ambassador.

Why they chose this property

The property was the garden for the farmhouse to the north. One visit and I was sold. There are many plantings that are over 60 years old. The former owner/artist/gardener constructed a stone wall on the property with stones he gathered by hand all over Michigan. The home was built in 2011 and won the Saugatuck Historical Society's Preservation Award for New Construction. It is a huge honor to receive this recognition.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful view of historic gothic church across the street. Lower and upper porches for hanging out. Fire pit for gathering around for nightly relaxing and conversation. 1st and 2nd floor bedrooms are en-suite and staggered on each level to optimize privacy.
