Booking it: We stayed during the off-season in February for a 3-day weekend. Since we are brought our two children, we could not stay in the Inn, but we stayed off-site at #13 “Vintage View” located at 11 Chestnut Street, Douglas, Michigan. It is less than five minutes from the Bella Vita Spa and Suites downtown location. Our rate was a total of $343.44 after tax for two nights, quite the bargain!

The Room: It is really like having your own apartment! Note: There is no maid service at the off-site unit.
Bedroom: We had a King-size bed, (no television in the bedroom) washer and dryer in the closet (bring hangers if you need them, there are four wire hangers.)
The bathroom has new tiled shower/tub, double sinks with glass bowls, a stained glass window, it has modern conveniences with the charm of an older home. (Bring your own shampoo, conditioner, soap. There is a hair dryer and a small sample soap and small sample shampoo, towels, washcloths and hand towels under the sink. There is plenty of room to put your things away in drawers or under the sink!)
In the living room about six people can sit comfortably on two chairs and two small sofas. One sofa turns into a bed. There is a television in the living room (no dvd player so bring your own if you need it. Also: no telephone on site.)
The kitchen: looks brand new! Plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, toaster, blender, a baking sheet, measuring cup, pots and pans, microwave, dishwasher, full fridge/freezer, oven, stove-top and an island for food prep. It’s a good idea to bring hand soap for the kitchen sink if you don’t like to wash your hands with dish soap. There's a small grocery store around the corner so we made our own dinner one night!
Outside: There is more than one unit attached to this house (I think four in total), all the units share an outdoor pool, pool house and hot tub (looks like four people can use it at once.) We did not use it. A porch/deck is part of the unit. We stayed in unit 1.
The view: Looking out our kitchen window and door wall we could see a small deck, the pool area, some homes and beyond that: water. (Not a beach.) The other views are of the neighborhood.

When we arrived at the Bella Vita Spa and Suites in downtown Saugatuck, we met the young couple that owns the building and spa. They showed us a couple rooms and we noticed that they have worked hard to make the rooms feel modern, romantic (some rooms have showers with duel shower-heads!) and comfortable. The off-site unit where we stayed is managed by this couple but someone else owns it. Which brings me to the one downside of our stay:

The con: On Saturday evening someone was insistently banging on our door. It was after dark and we do not know anyone in the area. It turns out it was the owner- who wanted to inform us that her phone number is in the binder of information. Not only was it unsettling to be disturbed this way, it was completely unnecessary. If we decide to stay here again, perhaps we could head off her visit by calling her right away to tell her we see her phone number in the binder. This is the only negative in a otherwise pleasant stay.

The pro’s: Nice house, well-equipped, close to Saugatuck and about 20 minutes to Douglas. (In February there was an Ice Breakers festival in Douglas with a chili competition, ice sculpting, ice skating, a lighthouse/beach. The shops in their downtown area were fun: Blueberry store, Chocolate Café, bead store, etc.) In Saugatuck we enjoyed Phil’s Bar and Grill for dinner- I enjoyed the lobster Cobb salad-, a French boutique and art gallery, décor stores. Overall, a very nice visit.
