Very nice house on Oxbow property. Loved the proximity to the hiking trail and fire pit and porch swing. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable. It was a little tight for 2 families of 4–not bad if your kids are young, or just for a long weekend, which was what we had. Short drive to oval beach.

The house was nice, clean, and the deck and backyard area was great. Check-In required stopping in at the office in downtown Saugatuck which wasn't clear to me in the VRBO listing but it was mentioned in emails directly from Mill Pond Reality. You'll want to make sure you check your email inbox instead of relying on communication via VRBO. Once we checked in communication with the property managers was good.Propane tanks were empty and I was instructed to get it filled at a local supermarket and they would reimburse. The supermarket was out of propane so we had to hunt a bit for it.I also want to add because I'm not sure it's clear from the listing: the house is pretty much ON (not near) the Oxbow campus which is open to students 24/7. There is a very busy parking lot directly next to the house which stayed busy throughout the weekend (parking for a popular trailhead). There is a lot of vehicle and foot traffic directly next to the house. I think this should be made clearer in the listing. The photos and description provided by the property managers seem to leave this out intentionally and I don't think it's fair to potential guests or the locals to do so.

The Art Coast cottage was very clean and nicely decorated in an antique type vibe. It can be a little tricky to get to the house as you have to travel on a one lane road in a heavily wooded area to get to the house. If a car is driving on the road from the opposite direction you have to back up down the hill to give the right of away. There was a tree down in the road one morning because of a storm so you could not leave but it was quickly cut up and removed. The house is in a very wooded area with lots to see and paths to walk on. We enjoyed our stay but if you are not an adventurous driver the road could cause you some problems.
