Great stay!

This property was adorable. It was perfect for a girls weekend. When we showed up the driveway had not been plowed so that was a small challenge but otherwise everything else was great! The beds were so comfortable! We would definitely go back again!

Wonderful Stay

This was our fourth stay at Rise N Shine. It's an impeccable house in a great location - a short walk to the center of town, but far enough away to avoid the crowds. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect Pet Friendly Rental

This was the perfect rental for our dog and newborn. The three season room was great for relaxing and watching football with the family. Close to town as well. Only downside is the lack of sidewalks as you make your way toward downtown Saugatuck - but this is a city thing, not a rental thing! Would stay again.

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!

We’ve stayed in this home several times now and really enjoy it. The home is clean and comfortable and everything we’ve needed is provided. We will happily continue to stay here when we come to Saugatuck.

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.

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.

LOVED IT

Actually EVERYTHING. BEAUTIFUL HOME away from home. Love the screened in porch grab your book and just sit and read. Grab a cup off coffee from the coffee stand and go out and watch the sun come up. Slept like a baby in the king size bed so comfy I slept in everyday. Walk down the street down some steps to EVERYTHING..shopping, eating....or just go and watch the boats come in. This was our 2nd time and we will definitely go again just love how you can walk to everywhere in town. BEST VACATION...you can be as busy or relaxed as you want. Highly recommend it.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
