Bob Newhart just dreamt about being an innkeeper, but you can make your dream come true at Deer Creek Cottages, our historic, lake view bed and breakfast in Saugatuck/Douglas, MI on the “dune” side of Saugatuck harbor. Featured in USA Today and Cottage Living, this charming property, in an even more charming community, is perfect for those who want a home that will pay for itself. Live on site and host interesting guests from all over the world during high season, then relax and enjoy the camaraderie and laid back atmosphere the locals enjoy during off season.
This wonderful property features a completely remodeled main home, which you can live in and maintain as a traditional B & B or keep separate for your family and 3 fully equipped free-standing cottages for guests. A couple could also easily live in one of the cottages, leaving the entire home as income producing – the possibilities and combinations are limited only by your family's needs and imagination. Surrounded by stately trees with spectacular views of the lake, the property is private, yet close to all to the amenities that attract visitors the region.
Our area is rightfully called the “Art Coast” of Michigan, full of galleries, a chamber music festival, Broadway quality theater, wineries, microbreweries, antiques and unique local boutiques. Film buffs from around the world gather for the Waterfront Film Festival each June - ranked 3rd after Sundance and Cannes by Screen Actors Guild Magazine as well as the Children’s Film Festival in November.
Ride your bike to Oval Beach, rated by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the 25 Best Shorelines in the world. Stroll the boardwalk, enjoy a family picnic in a Victorian gazebo in the park, sail Lake Michigan, fish, hike, canoe, kayak, cross country ski - outdoor activities abound year round. If golf is your passion, Deer Creek Cottages is located next to the West Shore Golf Club, an 18 hole course featuring a winding creek, tree lined fairways, and elevation changes that challenge golfers of all abilities. Three other top ranked courses are located nearby.
The progressive public school district combined with the family oriented community are the reasons Business Week ranked the Saugatuk/Douglas area as one of the top 50 places in the nation to raise a family.
You might wonder if this is such a great property, why is it for sale? Deer Creek Cottages is the culmination of the dream of the owners, Kevin and Kelly Sabourin. Due to a job transfer to the Southeast and the need to find property there, it is with a heavy heart that they have put Deer Creek Cottages on the market. But they are intent on finding the perfect owner to continue their dream and to that end will offer owner financing, lease to own and even consider trades.
