ABOUT THE HOUSE

We're just a quick walk, bike, or drive to the beach, hiking trails, or downtown Saugatuck and Douglas. Our home is styled after a Modern Cabin vibe, but still staying true to its history as a cabin getaway built in 1948. |

Located right off the kitchen is the third bedroom with a queen bed and twin bunk beds, perfect for a couple or all the kids. Down the hallway is the full guest bathroom featuring a shower/tub combo, large vanity, as well as the washer/dryer closet.

There was what appeared to be water damage to the floor in the living room and ceiling damage in a few rooms. Due to this, the space could use an air purifier to cut the musty smell."

The neighborhood deer came to visit every morning; it was incredible to see! Everything is walking, biking or driving distance.

We were able to enjoy the hot tub, roast some marshmallows, take a short drive to the beach to see the sunset, or into town for shopping or a meal.

Because we wanted a weekend in with no plans, it was important to us to have a house that we could utilize instead of just a small hotel room.

"This place was soooo well outfitted. We didn’t want for anything, and the kitchen was outstanding—it can often be hard to cook at Airbnbs and you have to make a run to the store, but Jacob’s kitchen had EVERYTHING and more. The home is spacious but somehow still cozy. It was pristine in terms of cleanliness. They had great board game options, and the hot tub was so relaxing after a long day. The area is beautiful, and there was lots to do—even this late in the “off season” part of the year. Plus, it’s a wooded lot which feels very private, and we saw deer and turkeys. Near everything but felt peaceful too. Highly recommend!"

"A lovely, quiet, woodsy spot between the lakes (Kalamazoo and Michigan). There are deer on just about every other property, looking at you with blasé curiosity. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the front yard (in the daytime, even without a fire). The large hot tub was nice and secluded, in the small back patio. Kitchen generously supplied, beds soft and comfortable... The restaurant recommendations in the booklet were much appreciated; we thought the Wild Dog Grille was fabulous.
The power went out our second night there, and soon afterward the property manager stopped by, bringing us tea lights if we wanted them. We had a couple of camping torches and already had a fire going in the fireplace, using the composite log that was thoughtfully provided, so we were nicely set up for an evening of conversation and trivia questions. All in all, a very relaxing, memorable trip."

"Jacob's place was the perfect place for our family to stay for our Fall Break! The house is very welcoming and gave our group of 5 nice space to spread out and spend time together. We enjoyed the hot tub in the beautiful private back patio and having s'mores around the fire pit. The kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed eating out at local restaurants. Outside Coffee is right down the street, and we enjoyed outings to Mt. Baldhead and nearby beaches. Thanks for a wonderful spot to get away!"

"Don’t look any further. This house is an absolute gem. Tons of space for our two families (4 adults and 4 kids ages 7-10). The hot tub was wonderful. We used it every night. The bathrooms were a great size, and the kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve come across in all of our 10 years of using AirBnB. The beds were great, and all 4 kids stayed in the bunk room with plenty of space. The kids also enjoyed the big yard. Can’t wait to stay here again next year."

Negatives: bunk beds felt like sleeping on rocks and couldn't figure out how to lower the temperature in the house. You can literally walk to Oval Beach."

"Hidden Gem in Saugatuck/ Douglas: The house is on a quiet street just a modest walk away from Douglas Beach and the Saugatuck Chain Ferry.
Our favorite features of the house were the large kitchen and the hot tub. We used both extensively. Our group of 6 adults had plenty of room to spread out and relax.
The hot tub fits 3 large adults pretty easily, and 4 adults is possible but only if you’re careful not to slosh water over the edge.
During our week long stay, the maintenance person stopped by once to check the condition of the water in the hot tub, and a landscaper stopped by once to blow the pine needles off the patio and driveway that had fallen during a storm the previous day, so it’s clear that the home is well taken care of.
The only thing I would point out is that there is a single, small step between each room on the ground floor which won’t be an issue for most people as long as you’re paying attention when you walk around in the dark so you don’t stub a toe."

My family’s stay was lovely from the start, arriving to find lights on, music playing and everything just so. The space was very comfortable for 2 parents and 3 teens. The adults loved the hot tub and spa-style master bath, while the kids especially appreciated the super fast Wi-Fi, sound system and the hammock out front. Hosts provided a great book of recommendations for restaurants and activities - all were spot on. And there were thoughtful details throughout the house including helpful labels and instructions, board games, and snuggly blankets for lounging on the oversized couch."

Pre-arrival communication was easy, check-in and entry was simple, and the house had all we needed including a very well equipped kitchen. We mainly rented the house for the hot tub and that was a highlight for us. Even though there is a small motel next door, you really can't tell it's there. The backyard (where the hot tub is located) is fenced off and there are a few beautiful pines that make the space special. Great location on the lake side of the river in Saugatuck-Douglas.

"Perfect Winter Getaway: Jacob and Ahmad were SUPERhosts. Messaged back quickly if we had any questions and gave us some great recommendations around the area. The house is furnished with a modern style, coupled with comfortable beds, smart TV's, and a fireplace for a cozy winter stay. Winter or summer, the property has a gorgeous front yard for a bonfire and backyard is fenced in and private with a hot tub and commercial outdoor heaters. The entire house is wired with sonos speakers and google home controls. We LOVED it. The neighborhood is quiet, short 5 minute drive to Oval Beach or downtown Saugatuck. Groceries, shops, and restaurants were all wonderful and we'll definitely be coming back. Really no negatives. Stay here if it's available!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Mulberry Pines! The cottage is very well equipped in many aspects - the kitchen has everything you will need for entertaining or cooking. There were also enough clean towels for bathing and for the hot tub. The cottage also has some very nice technological perks, such as multi-room Sonos speakers for whole-house music, a smart TV in the living room, and a Google Assistant that can control some devices and answer questions! The bedrooms were clean and very comfortable. We made ample use of the hot tub, which was very nice and well maintained, and also made use of the fireplace and fire pit - wood was provided for both of these amenities! We spent a good amount of time relaxing in the living room, which was a nicely sized space to hang out and chat. Jacob was an excellent host with great communication and was able to answer any questions that we had. I would happily recommend a stay at Mulberry Pines!"

"I had the best experience ever at Mulberry Pines! From the start, Jacob was very communicative and easy to ask questions. He even sent over their very detailed and curated local guide and house book which made my trip so easy. Driving into the property, the beauty of the woods and natural feel was just what I needed to relax. Upon entering the house I was floored, they really did an amazing job with making the house modern but also a cozy cabin feel. It feels very new and recently updated. I was greeted with a s’mores kit and some local cider to enjoy, what a great surprise! The beds were very comfortable and they provided all the necessities, they even had spices, olive oil, and coffee/tea! The house was very clean and very comfortable sitting by the fireplace to relax and watch TV. Last but not least, the hot tub was amazing! Sitting in the backyard looking at the stars through the pine trees was an experience. I would 100% come back to Mulberry Pines and am already looking at dates for the summer."

The home is spacious but somehow still cozy. It was pristine in terms of cleanliness. They had great board game options, and the hot tub was so relaxing after a long day. The area is beautiful, and there was lots to do—even this late in the “off season” part of the year. Plus, it’s a wooded lot which feels very private, and we saw deer and turkeys. Near everything but felt peaceful too. Highly recommend!"

"A lovely, quiet, woodsy spot between the lakes (Kalamazoo and Michigan). There are deer on just about every other property, looking at you with blasé curiosity. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the front yard (in the daytime, even without a fire). The large hot tub was nice and secluded, in the small back patio. Kitchen generously supplied, beds soft and comfortable... The restaurant recommendations in the booklet were much appreciated; we thought the Wild Dog Grille was fabulous.
The power went out our second night there, and soon afterward the property manager stopped by, bringing us tea lights if we wanted them. We had a couple of camping torches and already had a fire going in the fireplace, using the composite log that was thoughtfully provided, so we were nicely set up for an evening of conversation and trivia questions. All in all, a very relaxing, memorable trip."

"Hidden Gem in Saugatuck/ Douglas: The house is on a quiet street just a modest walk away from Douglas Beach and the Saugatuck Chain Ferry.
Our favorite features of the house were the large kitchen and the hot tub. We used both extensively. Our group of 6 adults had plenty of room to spread out and relax.
The hot tub fits 3 large adults pretty easily, and 4 adults is possible but only if you’re careful not to slosh water over the edge.
During our week long stay, the maintenance person stopped by once to check the condition of the water in the hot tub, and a landscaper stopped by once to blow the pine needles off the patio and driveway that had fallen during a storm the previous day, so it’s clear that the home is well taken care of.
The only thing I would point out is that there is a single, small step between each room on the ground floor which won’t be an issue for most people as long as you’re paying attention when you walk around in the dark so you don’t stub a toe."

Towels and linens are very good, too. Was bliss to hang out there in between the trips to the beach, kayaking, and hiking around town."

"The house is beautiful and everything is very easy to navigate. There are clear instructions for the hot tub and appliances are all working well and easy to use. The kitchen is very well equipped. Communication with Jacob and the manager, Chad, is very easy. We had a great time and would highly recommend Mulberry Pines. It was a vacation oasis."

"Stayed for a short weekend trip, just two of us, and everything worked out perfectly. Pre-arrival communication was easy, check-in and entry was simple, and the house had all we needed including a very well equipped kitchen. We mainly rented the house for the hot tub and that was a highlight for us. Even though there is a small motel next door, you really can't tell it's there. The backyard (where the hot tub is located) is fenced off and there are a few beautiful pines that make the space special. Great location on the lake side of the river in Saugatuck-Douglas. Would certainly recommend!"

"Jacob was a wonderful host! He was helpful during and after the booking process, was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and was very communicative in general. The house was perfect for our group of 8, plenty of space to relax and hang out. Beds were so comfy, everything in the house was so well thought out and well appointed (right down to the specific towels provided for makeup removal!) 12/10 would recommend!"

"Perfect Winter Getaway: Jacob and Ahmad were SUPERhosts. Messaged back quickly if we had any questions and gave us some great recommendations around the area. The house is furnished with a modern style, coupled with comfortable beds, smart TV's, and a fireplace for a cozy winter stay. Winter or summer, the property has a gorgeous front yard for a bonfire and backyard is fenced in and private with a hot tub and commercial outdoor heaters. The entire house is wired with sonos speakers and google home controls. We LOVED it. The neighborhood is quiet, short 5 minute drive to Oval Beach or downtown Saugatuck. Groceries, shops, and restaurants were all wonderful and we'll definitely be coming back. Really no negatives. Stay here if it's available!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Mulberry Pines! The cottage is very well equipped in many aspects - the kitchen has everything you will need for entertaining or cooking. There were also enough clean towels for bathing and for the hot tub. The cottage also has some very nice technological perks, such as multi-room Sonos speakers for whole-house music, a smart TV in the living room, and a Google Assistant that can control some devices and answer questions! The bedrooms were clean and very comfortable. We made ample use of the hot tub, which was very nice and well maintained, and also made use of the fireplace and fire pit - wood was provided for both of these amenities! We spent a good amount of time relaxing in the living room, which was a nicely sized space to hang out and chat. Jacob was an excellent host with great communication and was able to answer any questions that we had. I would happily recommend a stay at Mulberry Pines!"

"Wonderful spot (inside and outside) for a perfect fall weekend. The hosts were so gracious they left a special welcome gift for us to enjoy! Top finishes throughout and thoughtful touches — fun games, candy jar, etc. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day out and about. The only question: when can we come back? 😎 would highly recommend to anyone, and it was perfect for our two small families. Thanks again!"

"I had the best experience ever at Mulberry Pines! From the start, Jacob was very communicative and easy to ask questions. He even sent over their very detailed and curated local guide and house book which made my trip so easy. Driving into the property, the beauty of the woods and natural feel was just what I needed to relax. Upon entering the house I was floored, they really did an amazing job with making the house modern but also a cozy cabin feel. It feels very new and recently updated. I was greeted with a s’mores kit and some local cider to enjoy, what a great surprise! The beds were very comfortable and they provided all the necessities, they even had spices, olive oil, and coffee/tea! The house was very clean and very comfortable sitting by the fireplace to relax and watch TV. Last but not least, the hot tub was amazing! Sitting in the backyard looking at the stars through the pine trees was an experience. I would 100% come back to Mulberry Pines and am already looking at dates for the summer."

"My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Mulberry Pines! The home was cute and cozy and offered plenty of space for 5 adults. It’s clear that a lot of care went into planning the guests stay, which included a s’more kit from the hosts as well as a board game shelf. The ample outdoor space with seating in the front of the home and back patio were also a great touch! We would definitely stay here again!"
