This was our second stay at Hidden Garden Cottages & Suites. We absolutely love the accommodations and setting for this boutique venue. Christopher and Gary, owners, are very welcoming and accomodating. They go out of their way to ensure their guests are completely satisfied. Both rooms we have had during our stays were very nicely appointed, very clean, comfortable and peaceful. The location is ideal, downtown Saugatuck where once you park, you really never have to use your vehicle again as everything is walkable. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a place to stay while in the area. read more

What an amazing place! Perfect spot to walk everywhere in Saugatuck. The room was excellent and the surprise morning breakfast muffins were delicious! Jonathan and Gary treat you like family! I would highly recommend. read more

I don't want to share why I recommend Hidden Gardens because I don't want anyone else beating me in getting a reservation. I have stayed here with my husband for many, many years during the winter. The owners decided to close in January to make improvements and now we are forced to stay elsewhere during our annual visit this year. We are grieving... sad and mourning over the interruption to our only time out without children. We are glad to still get away...but would like to request that the improvements not be done during the months of December or January in the future! If you are reading this- book in the summer-lol. The winter belongs to us! read more

Our first trip to Michigan and we stayed in the Tuscany cottage. This place is perfect. The location is amazing and is right down the street from a really great coffee shop. The guys were very accommodating and had great information to give out about the area. The afternoon snack and breakfast is great. We did the package with pizza and a local 6-pack to try out some local flavor. The cottage was very cute and I loved the fireplace in the evening. We hope to be back soon for another little getaway! read more

My boyfriend and I are from the Chicago suburbs and had a weekend getaway in Saugatuck/Douglas MI in July of 2011. We stayed at the Hidden Garden Cottages for three nights, in their Orleans Cottage. PROS: Location, location, location. You can't beat it. It is in the middle of town and within walking distance to everything. The gardens are darling. The proprietors were kind and helpful, including an in-room binder with tons of information on the area. The Orleans Cottage is the smallest, but its size is sufficient. It features a queen bed, fireplace, stereo, flat screen TV, DVD player, free wi-fi, whirlpool tub, and a kitchenette. It also has its own small porch with a view of the gardens, which is one of the perks of this establishment. Breakfast is left by the proprietors in your room's refrigerator and includes cereals, muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, milk, teas and coffee. When you are ready in the morning, you just put everything together and warm it up in your room's microwave, toaster oven or coffee maker and enjoy your breakfast in your room or on your porch. That is a fantastic setup: Very private and convenient. For the most privacy, the Tuscany Cottage is its own separate, small building. All the other suites and the Orleans Cottage are connected to the main building where the proprietors reside. It was very quiet the whole time we were there. CONS: The decor is a bit dated (mauve wallpaper borders, hunter's green carpet). It should be noted that I am a neat freak, but cleanliness could have been better. I didn't take a bath in the whirlpool tub because the mat at the bottom of it was not clean enough for my comfort. Though the towels looked new, the sheets looked like they'd seen better days. The room was definitely clean, but these few details were lacking. The shower got lukewarm at best. The mattress was hard as a rock. Another con is parking, but this is true wherever you go in downtown Saugatuck, so be warned. Overall we had a quiet, pleasant stay and plan to go back, though this time we would like to try the larger and even more private Tuscany Cottage. While in Saugatuck/Douglas, for dinner try Phil's, Everyday People (if you can get in!), Wild Dog Grille and The Belvedere. For a fantastic facial, see Peggy at Waterfront Day Spa. Tour the Keewatin Ship and take the Star of Saugatuck paddle boat ride down the Kalamazoo River & out to Lake Michigan. And shop til your heart's content. There are a ton of cute boutiques, and during the high tourist season they are open until late, late at night. It's a safe, fun, lovely area for a weekend getaway. read more

My wife and I have been to Saugatuck now 4 times in the past 2 years and it has become our favorite spot in Michigan. Each visit we have stayed at the Hidden Garden and are never disappointed! Tucked away on Butler - the main street in town - so you are walking distance to everything and feel very isolated. We have stayed in the Tuscany suite in the summer and the San Juan room in the winter. Rooms are beautiful and very spacious - HUGE two person whirlpools, fireplaces and comfy beds. The San Juan Suite is on the 2nd floor of the Inn, and has a full kitchen and living area. This is perfect if you visit Saugatuck in the off season, as you will not need wonderful porch the other 3 suites have to offer. The Tuscany suite is tucked away toward the back of the property and has an amazing porch to enjoy breakfast. Breakfast is continental style and delivered the night before - muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal This style is perfect for us as we can sleep late and eat on the porch of our room at leisure. The owners, Gary and Dan are extremely friendly and see to it that you are satisfied!! They have a Pillow Points, which after 6 stays you receive one night free. We travel quite a bit and love B&B's, this has become our favorite. When in Saugatuck, be sure to stay at the Hidden Garden. read more

My husband and I stayed in the San Juan suite for 2 nights. The room was clean and well decorated with plenty of souvenirs from the innkeepers' travels. Gary and Jonathon were kind and accommodating. This is right at the edge of downtown Saugatuck, it's perfect for a stroll around the waterfront, and for visiting all of the adorable little shops downtown. Gary delivers a cute little basket of goodies (continental breakfast) to your room in the afternoon to enjoy the next day. It includes orange juice, milk, fresh fruit, and baked goods. Popcorn and candies are also provided for snacking. New couches in the living room would be a nice addition to the suite, as they are on the smaller side and getting a big worn. But I would say that is far from a formal complaint. We had an amazing time here and would definitely return. read more

Highly Recommended! This place was perfect. We ended up getting two nights in Tuscany and moved to San Juan to stay an extra night. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful with local recommendations. It was a nice touch that they had all the amenities covered. We grabbed some chairs from the closet, a bottle of wine, and a pizza for the music in the park series. It was perfect. The setting is quaint, cozy, and comfortable. It provided us the perfect chance to experience a romantic getaway and reconnect with each other. We're already planning another trip back! PS: the homemade morning muffins are nice touch to start your day. read more

My husband and I have stayed here two Septembers in a row and love it. Jonathan and Gary are thoughtful owners who provide everything guests could need. We loved the privacy of the Tuscany cottage. The breakfast muffins are lovely, and the central location can't be beat. We are looking forward to staying again in the future! read more

My wife and I stayed here again this year 2018. This time we had the "Tuscan" it was very nice just a little bigger than the "Orleans" all the same Stuff but add a love seat and coffee table. The kitchen was bigger also it had a little two person breakfast table in there. Really a great place the Hosts think of everything it seems like. My wife told them she eats gluten free, so the breakfast muffins they had out for us were gluten free. The first day they were zucchini walnut the second day poppyseed lemon glazed. Both were delicious. The first day the fruit bowl had strawberry, grapes back berries, raspberry and pineapple. I'm not a fan of pineapple so I didn't eat any.The second day the fruit bowl didn't have pineapple in it. It had more strawberry. These guys pay attention. My wife is already talking about going back. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Tuscany cottage for 3 nights. So cozy and exactly what we were looking for. We live in Chicago and were hoping to stay somewhere quiet and relaxing. Loved the tub. Loved the little treats they'd leave us every day. They keep their cottages SO CLEAN. They recommended food spots that we ate at and loved. Go to Grow for breakfast (or lunch). Idas cottage for breakfast was alright. The Southerner for dinner was phenomenal. Everyday people cafe was amazing. We loved Borrowed time for drinks and appetizers. Played some outside Jenga and connect four. read more

This is probably one of the best places I've stayed. It was our first time in Saugatuck. We wanted a nice little getaway for our 1 year anniversary and this was perfect. When we got there, we noticed the binder with some great tips on things to do, great places to eat, and area attractions. The room was clean and plenty stocked with everything we needed, including a breakfast basket with muffins, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Plenty of complimentary snacks on the counter as well. It was quiet, perfect, and quaint. We will be back again and again. read more

My partner and I just spent the weekend here in the Orleans cottage and it was a great experience. The room was clean, the fireplace was warm and the porch had a great bistro set for eating our breakfast. At first I wasn't too fond of hearing that our breakfast was already in the refrigerator when we got there, but the food was delicious there was fruit and yogurt and plenty of other food to eat. It was also nice to be able to eat breakfast anytime we wanted to, which is usually my trouble with B&Bs. The bed was comfortable, plenty warm and there were even extra pillows. The location was great- it was right in town, yet it was quiet and relaxing in our room. I loved the binder of recommendations, menus and brochures for things to do, see and eat in town. The owners were very welcoming and available to us. It was a great , we will definitely be back. read more

My husband booked this place for Valentines day and took me to Saugatuck over the weekend. We were surprised to see how wonderful this place was. Each room is designed differently and everything is so well thought of. We only met Jonathan this time and hopefully will meet Gary next time we go there. Will be back for sure and highly recommended. Walking distance to Uncommon Ground Cafe and also to Butler street where you have some shops and cafes around. read more

So beautiful and cozy! Its a home away from home. Hidden Garden is walking distance to shops, restaurants, bar, etc. Phil's restaurant is great, Wicks Park bar and grill is a couple blocks away and is amszing! Breakfast is stocked in your fridgethe day before. We stayed in Kilimanjaro suite both times we were there. Beautiful room, huge tub, kitchenette, fireplace...We had a relaxing stay! read more

Spent a wonderful weekend in the Tuscany Cottage with my partner. The cottage was pleasing with all the amenities we expected and hoped for. We were pleasantly surprised with the fireplace and the daily breakfasts of fresh fruit and homemade muffins. The location of Hidden Gardens is perfect and is close to awesome shops and restaurants. With that, however it still maintained a private and secluded feel. We also appreciated the innkeepers who greeted us enthusiastically and were always friendly and willing to offer assistance. read more

We stayed for three nights in the Tuscany cabin right before Memorial Day. The cabin itself was "homey," with a gas fireplace that came in handy given the outdoor temps in the 40s. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the area was nice and quiet (yet perfectly located for walking around town!). The owners are super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We will definitely be back! read more

We stayed here for a few nights and had a wonderful time. Stayed in The Orleans and it was perfect. I personally love a firm mattress- slept great. Breakfast was excellent. These fellas have so much class. I cannot imagine someone having a bad time here. We will be back! read more

Stayed in Orleans room for our 25th anniversary, everything was terrific. Very close to all the shopping, galleries and restaurants. Only complaint would be parking, but that's not fault of these guys. Look forward to coming back read more

Wow. What an amazing weekend. Can't imagine staying anywhere else. The attention to detail at Hidden Garden is second to none. Such a comfortable and clean suite and the location can't be beat. Right in the middle of downtown Saugatuck. The breakfast and afternoon treats provided were incredible. We will absolutely be back! read more

My fiancee and I stayed for 2 nights at the Kilimanjaro Suite, and we had the time of our lives. The rooms were wonderfully designed (loads of space and the bathroom had a wonderful whirlpool tub), the continental breakfast was always great and always restocked, the extras that my fiancee ordered for our stay were great (sparkling wine, a real rose and chocolates, bath fizzie, extra bath salts, and complimentary dinner coupon good for up to $60), and the owners were very helpful and welcoming (in particular was a moment where the suite's DVD player remote ran out of power and they replaced the batteries right away). The location itself is just great. During our stay we got to spend a night and a whole day taking in the sights and sounds of Saugatuck in Fall, and we weren't disappointed in the slightest. Hopefully, the next time we come here, we can make it during Summer so that we can REALLY enjoy ourselves. read more

My wife and i were on the great American adventure through western Michigan. We road tripped through many wonderful areas and had a marvelous time. We had done extensive research on the Saugatuck area and it was going to be a lynchpin stop for us.Great art, restaurants and use of the waterfront were tops on our list but we wanted convenient, yet great accommodations. We chose Hidden Gardens and could not have been more pleased with our choice. It is centrally located in the heart of the Saugatuck art and entertainment district. Jonathan and his partner Gary are fantastic hosts. Local information was right on the kitchen counters and Jonathan made sure we did not miss a thing. We stayed in the San Juan suite. It was spacious, clean as a hospital, and decorated in a fashion that had us planning a trip to San Juan Puerto Rico in the near future. The breakfast was in your fridge each day and was tasty and actually healthy! A pleasant departure form many breakfasts. The bathroom was spacious and the showers hot (a barometer i use on boutique hotels) We loved it. We stayed three days and after parking my truck we never needed to move it again. Saugatuck is right there for you just steps away from Hidden Gardens. We will be back for sure. One note ...book well in advance for summer dates. It may be called "hidden gardens" but it is certainly not a secret to those of us wanting to visit beautiful Saugatuck. read more

Stayed in the Kilimanjaro Suite and it was fantastic. Right in the middle of downtown but still very quiet. Owners are very welcoming and the rooms are fantastic. Very spacious with great beds, bathroom and little dining area. We also thoroughly enjoyed a few drinks on the lovely front porch. Will definitely stay here again. read more

Hidden Gardens is a little slice of heaven!!!!! Jonathan and Gary are beyond perfection as INNKEEPERS!!!! We fall in love with HG's and Saugatuck a little more EACH time we visit!! CAN not WAIT to go BACKKKKK! Love, love, love!!!!!! read more

My husband and I stayed in The San Juan Suite... for our honeymoon.... Loved this place and the whole experience of bed n breakfast....

We stayed in the San Juan suite at Hidden Garden, and it was incredible! This peaceful suite is the perfect home away from home in the heart of historic downtown Saugatuck. Highlights included a king bed, whirlpool tub for two, a full kitchen (stocked with utensils, plates, cookware, etc), and continental breakfast and fresh dessert for two delivered everyday! Jonathan and Gary are such friendly and helpful hosts. I walked to Satya Yoga every morning and enjoyed a lazy breakfast in the suite with my hubby. It was a little rainy the last night of our stay, so we uncorked a bottle of Fenn Valley wine and enjoyed a movie from the complimentary DVD library. We walked to all the great lunch and dinner spots, and Uncommon Roasters is just a few steps away, too! The exceptionally well maintained garden that surrounds Hidden Garden is full of colorful blooms. We just loved staying here. Bravo!! read more
