We travelled from the UK and had been staying in Chicago for a week before making the lovely trip to Douglas. We are so glad we found Postcard Cottage. The most beautiful location and the most wonderful host! Renee went above and beyond. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous. We had our two little girls with us and Renee had left toys, crafts, high chair and a cot for them which was perfect. Also the most delicious blueberry muffins. The surrounding area is fabulous with lots to do. We actually extended our stay from two days to six because there was so much to do and we loved the house. Renee is the best communicator and host and was there to greet us and show us around and also sent us lots of great recommendations. We loved staying in Douglas and exploring Saugatuck and the surrounding areas. Would 100% recommend staying at Postcard Cottage. We were sad to leave and hope to visit again!
