Slip into the steaming hot tub beneath an open Michigan sky, gather around the fire pit as evening falls, and wake up to coffee on a screened porch that feels like a well-kept secret. Welcome to Chestnut House - one of Airbnb's Guest Favorites in Douglas. Stay near the sand! This Douglas, MI getaway is a short drive or easy bike ride from pristine Douglas Beach and world-renowned Oval Beach.
The Chestnut House, built in 1871 and freshly renovated with genuine care, is the rare kind of place that feels both timeless and deeply comfortable. Original character is everywhere - the creak of old floorboards, tall windows flooding every room with natural light, the satisfying weight of a home loved for over 150 years. The renovation enhanced all of that without erasing any of it.
WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP
Three well-appointed bedrooms sleep up to 6 guests across two floors:
Bedroom 1 - Upstairs Primary Suite: Private en-suite bath · Quiet sanctuary tucked beneath the eaves.
Bedroom 2 - Main Floor: Access to full shared bathroom.
Bedroom 3 - Main Floor: Access to full shared bathroom · Ideal for couples, solo guests, or a remote workspace
All bedrooms include quality linens - nothing to pack but yourself.
THE HOT TUB
Your private hot tub is ready year-round - no seasonal shutdowns. Pre-heated and waiting from the moment you arrive. Seats 2-4 guests · Towels in basket inside screened porch. Whether it's July or January, there's something genuinely magical about soaking under a Michigan sky. Temp at 100, towels in a basket just inside the screened porch.
THE OUTDOOR OASIS
Fully fenced, completely private, and built for real outdoor living. Your dogs can roam freely while you settle in and properly relax.
• Private hot tub - year-round, pre-heated on arrival
• Wood-burning fire pit with seating · Firewood [BYO] · Lighters + fire starter provided
• Gas BBQ grill
• Outdoor dining area - seats 8
• Fenced lawn - spacious and dog-friendly
THE SCREENED SUNROOM
The room that earns the most unprompted praise in guest reviews. Light-filled and airy in the morning, golden and warm by late afternoon - perfect for starting the day with a warm mug or ending it with a glass of wine and nowhere to be.
THE KITCHEN & DINING
Fully stocked and genuinely thoughtful - whole coffee beans and a grinder are waiting for you. The spacious dining area is made for slow, lingering meals.
PERFECT FOR
Couples · Families with kids · Friend groups · Dog owners · Remote workers · Anyone after the Douglas–Saugatuck experience at its best
Douglas is home to this country house. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Lake Michigan and Oval Beach. Saugatuck Center For the Arts and Express Yourself Art Barn are also worth visiting.
