Lush Oasis near Lake Michigan

Fernwood Grove is perfectly situated off a private road that hugs Lake Michigan. Pull into the heavily wooded neighborhood with gorgeous 100-year-old trees, and you will be immediately greeted by Fernwood's lush English garden. Take a seat around the fire pit in the hedge garden, bubble about in the hot tub under a vine-covered arbor, relax inside by the fireplace, or try your hand at some ping pong or foosball in the lower level recreation room. The world is your oyster at Fernwood Grove!

Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!

Fernwood Grove is located in the beautifully lush town of Fennville. Towering trees lining a private road hugging Lake Michigan lead you to believe you are miles from civilization, when in fact you are mere minutes from some of the best culture Michigan has to offer! This area has been developing over the years and has quickly become a hotspot on the travel map, with its cute cafes, delicious restaurants, abundance of wineries and breweries, and plentiful orchards.

Only 5 minutes up the road, you land in the darling towns of Saugatuck & Douglas. These sister towns have a storied history of incredible beauty, divine cuisine, and a killer art scene. From small businesses that have been operating for decades to fresh, new pop-ups, there is something for everyone in this thriving cultural center voted Best Beach Town by Midwest Living Magazine.

The nearby Oval Beach is only 10 minutes away, and Conde Nast Traveler has ranked it in the top 25 best shorelines in the world! That's right, the WORLD! State-known hiking and biking trails fill the area, and gorgeous state parks with majestic forested dunes line the shoreline. There is no shortage of incredible offerings, no matter what you're into. Chill at the house and take in the peaceful surroundings, head into town for shopping and dining, hit the trails and immerse yourself in nature, or bask on one of the many beaches along the shoreline. We'll be right here waiting for you!

Great place!

Delightful home with great fenced in yard our dog enjoyed! House could use some upgrades (firmer mattresses, updated appliances), but the experience was generally awesome and the owner/manager could not be more attentive and conscientious.

Perfection

Fernwood Grove was perfect for our annual family vacation. It was exactly as described in the listing, serene. The neighborhood is quiet, clean, and close to the Lake Michigan shoreline. Check in/out was a breeze, and communication with Philip was great. The property was spotless upon arrival, the yard was luscious. The added touches did not go unnoticed. A lovely coffee bar, extra trash bags, laundry soap, supplies for the pups, nice televisions in all bedroom spaces, and a well supplied kitchen. Location was perfect in relation to Saugatuck, Douglas, and Holland. We would definitely return to the property and would recommend to anyone looking for a place near Saugatuck.

Relaxing stay!

This is our 5th time visiting this area of Michigan and 1st time staying at this property. We loved the peaceful yard, hot tub, open concept main floor and deck to dine on and practice yoga! We traveled with our young adult children for their HS grad trip with a couple of friends! The main bedroom was nice for all 4 girls to bond together and share space. My husband and I were fine in the lower level queen room, and my son didn’t mind the rec room sleeper sofa at all! He enjoyed being able to watch movies before bed without disturbing anyone! The home was very clean upon arrival, which we certainly appreciated! The dog friendly aspect was a huge perk (I would just recommend a taller fence). We loved walking just a few minutes to Lakeshore for daily strolls! If you’re looking for a clean home suitable for groups to mingle, gather outdoors and enjoy nature near Lakeshore, this is it! We will be back!

Ferngrove Fun

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! It was cute, clean, and well-stocked, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The neighborhood was peaceful, with beautiful tall trees creating a lovely backdrop. Our dog especially loved the fun, fenced-in yard, and we enjoyed morning walks along the lake—such a perfect way to start the day. Plus, the nearby restaurants in town were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would absolutely stay here again.

Gorgeous cottage in the woods

I've stayed at several Art Coast Properties rentals and this one was up to the usual impeccable standards. The living room, master room and bathroom are spectacular. I slept in the basement area on the sofa bed which is less fancy but I was still very comfortable. As other reviews state, although it's just a quarter mile from the lake shore, unfortunately it is 2 miles to the public beach. However, I loved going for a daily walk/run down Lakeshore Drive to get there. Otherwise it's a very quick drive. The main thing I didn't like is that it is right by the freeway, but it's easy to forget about that when everything is otherwise so idyllic. Would definitely return to this or any other Art Coast Property.
