Your Michigan Cottage Awaits!

Escape to Green Gables! This is Pure Michigan living at its finest. Sleep up to 10 guests in this spacious, cozy cottage. Each suite is dressed in ultra-comfortable, crisp bedding from Parachute. Relish the outdoor space where you feel like you've entered a secret garden with towering trees and beautiful foliage. Enjoy an outdoor gathering with plentiful seating and a toasty fire pit. Looking to venture out? Walk to the Saugatuck Chain Ferry, Mt. Baldhead, and other nearby hotspots!

Being an Art Coast Property, guests of Green Gables have access to round-the-clock guest support. Simply give us a ring and we are there to assist!
You will receive a specially curated Guidebook prior to arrival, which will have our contact information, particulars about the house, tried-and-true recommendations, and a list of our concierge offerings.

Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!

Green Gables is located in the picturesque town of Douglas. Sister town to Saugatuck, Douglas is a laid-back, yet high-class, travel destination, known for its world-renowned art galleries. Douglas is quiet enough to sit outside and hear nothing but the breeze and the birds chirping, yet vibrant enough to offer food, drinks, and entertainment that would suit a city many times its size. Locally owned businesses line the streets of downtown, and if you manage to exhaust Downtown Douglas—which you may not—Downtown Saugatuck is less than five minutes away by car or easily available on foot or by bicycle.

After you’ve sampled the local food and drinks—many grown right here in this top-producing agricultural region—and shopped at our many independent boutiques, head out into Pure Michigan's natural beauty at our gorgeous beaches, trails, and state parks. Nearby Oval Beach was ranked by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top 25 best shorelines on the entire planet! Rent a watercraft or take a dip in sparkling, immaculate Lake Michigan, then climb our mountainous sand dunes to shady wooded trails.

Perfect Weekend Escape!

We loved our weekend stay at the Green Gables! The house was very clean, expertly designed and was filled with incredible attention to details from the fancy hand soap (and other bathroom toiletries) that smelled great to the tea/coffee station the house was perfect and the team was very responsive and receptive to our requests. Look forward to our next visit!

Amazing House

Green Gables is an amazing house in a beautiful part of Douglas Michigan. Me and my two senior dogs had a great stay at the house. The hot tub is one of the best I’ve ever used because of how the jets work the outdoor patio area with grill seating and fire pit is perfectnot very buggy and a very nice environment for relaxing. I highly recommend this house and hope that the owners want to sell it to me someday.

Spectacular house on the Michigan lake shore

This was our second stay at an Art Coast Property because the first one was so special. Green Gables is a charming little house that is consistent with Art Coast Properties' very stylish interior design. We stayed for two weeks because we loved it so much. It's a very short walk from a spectacular beach and there are deer everywhere. The house seems to have just been remodeled and is in great shape. Amazingly comfy beds. And the deck is so nice for sitting out and looking out onto the idyllic street. So much amazing stuff to discover nearby. Only imperfection for us was the compartmentalized layout of the house, instead of an open plan. But others may like this better. Hope to return soon!
