Big Red Cottage at Treetops by Lakewood Lux

Treetops is Saugatuck’s only rental featuring three neighboring vintage cottages—perfect for multi-family getaways. Nestled around a shared firepit and professionally maintained hot tub, each cottage offers screened porches, harbor or dune views, and generous outdoor space for grilling and gathering. Cottages may be reserved individually or together, depending on availability. This listing is for Big Red, the largest of the three.

Big Red features two levels of living space, ideal for a primary family or group lead. The upper level includes an open-concept layout with vintage finishes, a soaring ceiling, two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a spacious wraparound screened porch perched on the dune bluff with sweeping harbor views. The lower level, accessible by a separate entrance, includes an additional living area and private bath—perfect for added privacy. Washer/dryer included.

Set atop a 50-foot dune directly across the harbor from downtown Saugatuck, Treetops offers front-row views of the bustling waterfront. Oval Beach, one of the world’s most celebrated shorelines, is just a 15-minute dune walk or a 2-minute drive away.

My friend and I needed some post-Christmas girls trip fun and relaxation, and the Big Red Cabin was the perfect spot! We enjoyed exploring Saugatuck and Holland, even with a few rainy days. The cabin was perfect for getting cozy with drinks and TV time, plus we thoroughly enjoyed hopping in the hot tub each night. Erica was a thoughtful and friendly host!

The big red cottage allowed us to enjoy a perfect getaway. We enjoyed Saugatuck, Holland and Douglas while we were there. Having dinners on the porch while listening to the music from across the river was wonderful! The hot tub was an additional bonus! Thank you so much for hosting us!

This was a wonderful, cozy, and quiet stay. We were impressed with the property and the amenities. If we had one suggestion for the future, it would probably be adding blinds or curtains as the cottage is fairly wide open and leaves guests feeling slightly exposed. That being said, you are so comfortable that you hardly notice. We will definitely consider staying again.

The property is very cute. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and one with a separate entrance. The location worked great for our purposes.

My family really enjoyed this comfy cottage! It was very close to town. Erica was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this property.

Very nicely appointed lake house. Beds were cozy. Within walking distance to the chain ferry to get to downtown Saugatuck. Toilet on the top floor is not fully enclosed for privacy and bedroom windows don’t have privacy shades for changing clothes, etc. Other than that, would definitely return!

Excellent location with beautiful views of the water. Clean, quiet, and cozy. Close to the beach and chain ferry. Note that you will need to climb stairs to enter the property. Erica was super nice and incredibly responsive.

Every thing from the clean and lovely accommodations to the location near downtown Saugatuck and Mount Baldhead, Oval Beach, was just perfect and the exceeded expectations. Not one negative to report.

We enjoyed spending time just caching up on each other's busy lives, having many laughs and going to great restaurants. Also spent a day pampering ourselves at a spa in town. It was always great coming back to the cottage and relaxing in such cozy surroundings. Maybe we'll make it a tradition!

Lovely property. It was too cold to use the beautiful enclosed porch but I’m sure in the summer it’s delightful. Super clean and easy to drive to town (no chain ferry in October). Oval beach is close but up a very steep hill so not really bike friendly. Supermarket, restaurants, galleries all within 5-15 min drive. View of river great. Couldn’t be happier.

We absolutely loved our stay in the red cottage. The amenities were so nice, the lights and ambiance were perfect, and the view was lovely. If you’re looking to stay at a quality home away from home, stay here! It’s not a cheaply done rental with leftover pots and pans. It’s super nice and cozy and special. My family had an amazing time and want to go back! We also want to check out the A frame across the street! The host was amazing and quick with her communication as well. Thank you!!!

Overall, it was a cozy place to stay. Due to road closure and the ferry not running, it was a 15 minute drive to downtown Saugatuck. I feel it was a bit overpriced for that area and the amenities where we could have stayed in Douglas and been closer and less expensive. When the ferry runs during the summer, would be very convenient. I didn’t like that we didn’t have control of the thermostat in the house as it was a bit cold and had to message the owner to change it. My kids didn’t want to sleep in the downstairs area that had a separate entrance as they didn’t want to be alone and bed too small for adults. The hot tub was great for relaxation but know that it is shared with 2 other houses. Very clean and owner was quick to respond and helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, and front porch. The decor was charming and everything workied well. We did not know that 1 of the 3 bedrooms was an isolated apartment, or that the stairs to access the property would be so numerous. Folks with physical limitations should know that they will have to climb many stairs to access the main dwelling. Also, numerous members of the family fell at various times during our stay due to their being changes in floor levels throughout the main house. Stairs were also a factor in moving around the property graounds. There was very little sound isolation throughout, making it difficult to sleep with a baby; you could hear everything from the main room in the bedrooms. The couch was not a pull out, so that was limiting. Even though we could see and hear Saugatuck clearly, we had to take a circuitous, narrow path for 15 minutes to actually get there.

This was perfect for a get together of old friends looking to hang out around a firepit, watch football, take some hikes, strike into town a little bit, and generally just appreciate the Michigan fall. Comfortably slept 4 with two sharing a bed, and cooked easily and happily in the kitchen. Thanks for hte great weekend!!

We came into Saugatuck for a relaxing weekend prior to my brother's wedding and this house had absolutely everything we needed! It was comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and spent most of our time relaxing out there. The hot tub was great too! Erica was very responsive and helpful - check in process was super easy. Overall, we had an incredible time and would definitely stay here again!
