The Birdcage

Everything was spotless, check in was smooth, and management was prompt in replying to any questions we had. We enjoyed all of the thoughtful touches, like the welcome wine bottle for us and cookies for the kids, the little soaps and conditioners laid out in the bathrooms, etc. Everything you could want is in the kitchen, there were plenty of towels and blankets to go around, etc. Our crew really enjoyed the pool table and hot tub, as well as the nice deep tub in the master bath. It was a great way to have fun and relax after the holiday. The absolute hit for the younger kids was being able to boss Alexa around, which none of them have at home. Bathroom humor abounded! My only two items to note would be to have a cupboard available in the kitchen to put groceries. It's nice that there are so many gadgets and serving bowls, etc, but we realized there wasn't a space for the things we brought. We just ended up pushing some things toward the back in the top pantry cupboard to make room. Also, the main projector in the living room only had Apple play. We are an Android family, so we were unable to use the projector. I almost considered bringing our travel Roku, but left it at home. I would have been able to plug that into the second HDMI. There was a DVD player and Nintendo system, but I'm not sure how that would have been able to plug into the projector on the opposite wall. Those items did not impact our enjoyment of the space at all- thank you for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I, our 3 adult daughters, and our dogs stayed at this house for a long Thanksgiving weekend. The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable and a great place for a late fall weekend. The house had everything we could possibly need, including plenty of beach and bath towels, bath soaps, shampoo,..., in the lovely bathrooms, comfortable bed linens, and any and all kitchen supplies in the fantastic kitchen where we prepared a full Thanksgiving dinner! Amazing!! The hot tub and fire pit area in the backyard and the pool table in the large living room area were great bonuses! Every day we saw deer and wild turkeys in the backyard. Downtown Saugatuck and Douglas were minutes away and had plenty of shops and restaurants. The area is beautiful, with beaches and incredible dunes. My family agrees--a return trip is in our future!

Our stay at The Bird's Nest was terrific. The house was fully equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. It was really clean and comfortable. The master bed was so comfortable we kept oversleeping!

I recommend this place. They did a great job of making it feel like home. Furnishings were fantastic and house was cozy. Communication was prompt and all needs met. The only drawback was proximity to highway, so not complete tranquility, of course if you have kids with you it's not going to be a tranquil trip anyway ;). Hot tub was nice and used it several times. Pool table was a great touch and all rooms were updated.

We had such a nice stay for my moms 60th birthday weekend. The place was super clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook full meals! Location: Super close to both downtown Douglas and Saugatuck, by driving, but you're right in the highway, which you can hear and feel when you're hanging outside.

Beautiful home! We loved it! Have already started planning our next visit!

The Birdcage was absolutely amazing. It was hands down the most lovely and comfortable airbnb that I've stayed in. The home looked exactly like it did in the photos and the photos honestly didn't do the space justice. The location was so private yet close to downtown Douglas. We did have a small hiccup during our stay but was able to reach someone in the middle of a Sunday night and have the problem fixed early Monday morning. I could not have been more impressed with Juniper's quick response and resolution. Some of the other things my family of 7 enjoyed about The Birdcage were the wildlife in the yard, the comfy beds, the Keurig as well as the wide selection of k-cups, the pool table, the fire-pit, the comfy couch that we could play board games at....honestly I could go on and on. I would definitely recommend this rental and would stay here again.

"We needed a few days a way from our busy lives to relax and unwind and this place was perfect! The house was clean and felt warm and inviting. The bathtub was what originally sold me on this place and it did not disappoint. The location was great, just a few minutes drive from both downtown Douglas and Saugatuck. Would definitely stay here again."

"This house exceeded our expectations! It was stylishly decorated, very clean, and had all the amenities one would need for their stay. The pool table and jacuzzi were an added bonus! The location is very close to downtown Douglas and Saugatuck. Would love to stay here again!"

"Came for a weekend staycation and had a lovely time. Home is spacious with cute decor. Quick drive to grocery store, shops, restaurants and hiking trails. Would love to come back in summer to take advantage of the back yard!"

The birdcage is the four seasons of air bnbs! Hands down one of the nicest ones we've stayed at! Beautifully decorated, comfy beds, spa like bathrooms, and the coziest couch for everyone to gather! We enjoyed our stay and couldn't recommend it enough!

The Birdcage is beautifully furnished, very clean, and nicely stocked with towels, paper products, soap/detergent, and toiletry items. Communication with Juniper Holiday & Home was great. They were professional, provided timely and detailed instructions, and were extremely quick to respond to any questions/concerns. Our family really enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table. We would highly recommend this property. The only caveat is that traffic noise is fairly significant (especially in the bedrooms), given the house's proximity to the freeway. Aside from that, this house did not disappoint. It was just as nice in person as it appears in the photos!

Home was very nice and accurate to description. It is on a property located on longish drive away from light trafficked street. Very convenient location in regards to beaches, trails and towns of Douglas and Saugatuck.
