The perfect location! The Postcard Cottage in the heart of downtown Douglas.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Perfectly located just steps from downtown Douglas. The Postcard cottage is a sun filled bright space with its modern and vintage charm that has everything you might need to make your getaway more enjoyable. This walkable quaint village is the midwest destination for beach lovers and art enthusiasts. Douglas offers some of the best art galleries in west Michigan including just steps away from J. Petter Gallery, wine bar and wine shop with over 400 plus wines, Water Street Gallery, The Button Gallery and more.

Oval beach, with its stunning views, sandy beach and breathtaking sunsets, is known as one of the top 25 beaches in the world by Conde' Nast Travelers, only a short car or bike ride away. Take a stroll or bike ride to Douglas Beach with a paved pathway from the cottage. On your way stop at the iconic Root Beer barrel for a quick lunch served out of a giant root beer barrel building or across the street is the Woosah store and Outside Coffee Co.

This 2 bedroom 1 bath vintage charmer with its white picket fence is an art filled gem with all your modern amenities of today. The Postcard Cottage is a perfect location for a family/group of 4 or a romantic couples getaway.
The well appointed kitchen is stocked full and equipped with stainless steel appliances for your use. There are 2 bedrooms each with queen beds and ample closets/storage. The spacious bathroom is located off the primary bedroom and features a large soaking tub with a fully tiled shower, marble tiled flooring and lighted makeup mirror. There is also a washer and dryer available for your use.

PLEASE NOTE: ACCESS TO THE BATHROOM IS ONLY THROUGH THE PRIMARY BEDROOM.

There is a beautiful large zen like screened in back porch to enjoy your morning cup of coffee with a good book or a glass of wine. In addition there is a sweet front porch with a view of the Kalamazoo River. Take an afternoon stroll through this quaint quiet neighborhood or walk a block away to enjoy a cup of coffee at Respite Cappuccino Court, breakfast at Happy Stance or cocktails at Everyday People among other choices. Also a 1/2 block away is the iconic Back Alley Pizza Joint. Wander just a few blocks away to Wades Bayou, where you can rent a paddle board or kayak and explore Lake Kalamazoo.

One of our favorites is the Farmhouse deli in Douglas, offering everything from house made soup/sandwiches, bakery, salads to prepared meals, perfect to pack a picnic lunch. Also, Saugatuck is just a short walk or bike ride across the bridge with additional boutique shops, eateries and galleries.

Less than a 15 minutes away from Douglas are the best wineries and more including Modales Winery, Fenn Valley Winery, and Virtue Cider. Head over to Cranes Orchard to buy or pick apples, stay for lunch and don't forget a pie flight for dessert. Enjoy a trip to Evergreen Lane Creamery to taste the best local goat cheeses. Also in season enjoy a trip to Summer House Lavender farm with a gift shop full of amazing soaps, essential oils and lavender bouquets.

This is a perfect place to stay. It’s beautifully decorated, pristinely clean, and we found everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and the screened porch our favorite spot. Wonderful touches in welcoming treats, coffee, tea, and water and bikes. The bed is comfortable and the deep tub/ shower was great. The location is ideal—a quiet neighborhood and very short walking distance to restaurants and shops. A quick drive to beaches—we loved Douglas beach. Painterly sunsets. Hosts were exceptional. We would not want to stay anywhere else in this area.

Beautiful art-filled cottage

Wonderful stay exploring Saugatuck-Douglas. The cottage was in the perfect location for walking to Douglas restaurants, playground, and galleries while being a quick drive to downtown Saugatuck and Oval Beach. The cottage is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully organized for a relaxing stay. The host was very welcoming and shared outstanding recommendations. Thank you!

Quaint spacious cottage

The cottage was so incredibly charming we almost did not want to venture out each day. We spent a lot of time on the front porch (morning or evening) or back screened in area which also had a water fountain and the sound was v calming. The cottage had everything you could imagine. It was incredibly clean and made us feel right at home. We still talk about sitting on the front porch to enjoy the day. The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We still think about it and plan on returning.

Renee has created a real gem in the heart of Douglas-Saugatuck. With so many fun and interesting places to explore in the area, the cottage made for the perfect basecamp. Nice amenities and extras were the cherry on top. Would stay again.

Perfection!

My husband and I are recent empty nesters who decided to take a short weekend away in the Douglas/Saugatuck area. We were so delighted to find Renee’s Postcard Cottage in the perfect location. She was delightful and even greeted us to hand over the keys. The house was exceptionally clean and filled with every amenity. We especially loved that there were bikes to ride around town so we took advantage and rode down to the Root beer Barrel for some refreshments. Great weekend and cannot recommend enough!

Cute cottage get away

It was a very quaint cottage style home. Very clean and updated. Loved the sunroom…great for meditation! Perfect location to downtown Douglas…we walked to our restaurant the first night. Very close to Saugatuck…maybe five minute drive! Enjoyed our time in Saugatuck. Great place to stay and great host Renee!

End of summer getaway

This home is beautiful and has so much charm. The location is surrounded by nature, but just steps to downtown shops and restaurants. My family loved having time to cook in that fabulous kitchen and relax on the porch for morning coffee or out back in the evenings. It’s the perfect place to recharge. We hope to stay again. Thank you Renee!

Completely accurate listing

The host provides everything you need to be comfortable: coffee, filters, a selection of tea, "in case you forgot" toiletries, wood for the fire pit, etc. The house is as lovely as the listing depicts, and you can walk to restaurants and shops. The bikes that appear in the photo are actually there to use. Saugatuck is a 10-minute ride away. Renee creates such a peaceful, relaxing environment - we didn't want to leave! I highly recommend staying here.

Where to begin…what a gem!! It is as even better in-person than the listing gives credit for. Perfect location, meticulously curated, thoughtful throughout. Even down to the welcome gift (bottle of wine and new hot wheel car for our toddler) It was our first time visiting Michigan’s western coast, but thanks in part to Renee, we will be back!

3 day weekend

The cottage was exactly as pictured and described. Extremely well equipped and decorated, and very clean. The location is great to take advantage of both Douglas and Saugatuck. Douglas is just a few hundred feet and downtown Saugatuck was about a mile away. My wife and I walked and rode the nice bikes provided to Saugatuck. Would highly recommend this cottage for a nice couples getaway.

Ladies’ Trip

I stayed with two of my closest friends in this adorable house. The lovely host thought of absolutely everything. She offered several suggestions for places to go and things to see. The location was perfect! Just steps to downtown Douglas where we enjoyed breakfast, coffee, and lovely shops. We were a short car ride from a quaint lavender farm, winery, Crane’s bakery and the most amazing breakfast at Pennyroyal. We loved the shops of downtown Saugatuck and will be sure to reserve this cottage for any future trips we make to this area.

A true vacation!

My three adult daughters and I stayed at the Postcard Cottage for three nights last week. Renee is an excellent host, communicative and generous. She thought of so many details to make our stay wonderful- from bananas, snacks and bottles of water in the fridge, towels, beach chairs and lists of local restaurants and activities. We slept very well and I found lots of ideas on how to make our own home more welcoming. We will definitely reserve this cottage again when we travel to Douglas.

PERFECT Family Getaway Cottage!!

Our family of four had an absolutely perfect stay. Renee is truly a first class host!! She thought of everything. The location is a 1 minute walk from the center of town (park, restaurants, and shopping). She even had a little basket of art supplies for our two sons to use...they loved it! Thank you, Renee, and we cannot wait to visit again!

Anniversary getaway

Our stay at Postcard Cottage was amazing! Renee is an excellent host, house was immaculate. There is nothing that Renee didn’t think of, a bottle of wine in the fridge to toothbrushes in a drawer in case you forgot your. Enjoyed the bikes that were available, as well as the short walk to town. Would definitely come back again! Thank you Renee for the great accommodations.
