Enjoy the quiet surroundings of the historic Singapore cottage, located two short blocks from beautiful downtown Saugatuck.  With accommodations for four, the cottage features the conveniences of home, in a charming cottage atmosphere.

An award winning landscape offers a large yard with majestic shade trees.  A sundeck provides ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, while relaxing to the soothing sounds of the pond.

Dating from the late 1800's, the original structure is believed to have been an ice storage house from Singapore, Michigan.  Singapore was located on the Kalamazoo River near the present day Oval Beach.  The shifting sands along the shore were a constant threat to the village and many structures were relocated to Saugatuck.

With wall to wall windows on three sides, the SUNROOM features a full-sized futon, breakfast table and wicker bench.  It is a wonderful place to nap, read a good book or enjoy a gentle breeze from the open windows or ceiling fan (central air conditioning also included).

With four comfortable chairs, the ENTERTAINMENT ROOM features cable television, VCR, CD stereo, and phone/answering machine.  The room layout is perfect for socializing with friends or family.

A fully furnished KITCHEN awaits your cooking adventures.  Complete with service for four, the kitchen features a gas oven/range, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and large refrigerator.  For your outdoor cooking, a Weber grill is available.

The modern bathroom maintains the cottage charm with beaded board wainscoting and ceiling.  Also, the tiled floor and shower offer whimsical tile insets.  A queen-sized bed provides a restful nights sleep or an afternoon nap.  The full-sized futon provides the additional sleeping accommodations.
