Timeless Design, Elevated Through Hospitality
There’s something distinct about arriving at Fairview—something that sets it apart not only from a traditional hotel stay, but even from the expected rhythm of a vacation rental. It’s quieter, more personal. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense that you’ve stepped into a place with a story—one that, for a few days, becomes entirely your own.
Created by Soucie Horner Design Collective as a private extension of Wickwood Inn, Fairview offers an intimate take on design-led hospitality in Saugatuck. This thoughtfully restored home blends the comfort and privacy of a luxury vacation home with the elevated detail and service typically reserved for a boutique inn. Just minutes from downtown and the shores of Lake Michigan, Fairview strikes a rare balance—conveniently close to everything, yet quietly removed, offering a true sense of retreat.
A Storied Home, Thoughtfully Reimagined
Originally built in 1857, the home carries its history with ease. Over time, it has been carefully reimagined through a fresh, livable lens—where heritage meets modern sensibility. Interiors are layered with collected antiques, original artwork, and nuanced design details that unfold gradually. Nothing feels overly styled or untouchable; instead, the home invites you to relax into it, to live within it comfortably.
That’s where Fairview begins to reveal its difference. Mornings arrive gently—coffee on the terrace, sunlight filtering through the trees. Afternoons move without urgency, drifting between the pool, the lawn, and nearby explorations. Evenings naturally gather, whether around the kitchen, at the dining table, or outdoors as the light softens. There’s no prescribed schedule here—the home adapts to the rhythm of your stay.
“Wow, what an amazing stay. Probably one of the most unique decorated houses I’ve stayed at. It has like a French Farm House design. Gorgeous house, the products in the bathrooms are amazing, and the Big Lake is right near by. I would absolutely stay here again.”
~ James, Guest 2025
Effortless Luxury, Thoughtfully Considered
Inside, comfort is both elevated and effortless. Handmade Vispring mattresses, Matoük linens, and marble baths by Waterworks create a refined yet understated sense of luxury. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who wish to cook, though it just as easily accommodates a stocked refrigerator upon arrival or a privately arranged dinner. Every detail is considered, yet nothing feels imposed.
A More Private Expression of the Wickwood Experience
As part of the Wickwood experience, Fairview extends the same thoughtful care and hospitality—but within a more private setting. While the inn offers a social and shared atmosphere, Fairview is a whole-home rental in Saugatuck designed for families, friends, and longer, more personal stays.
It’s the kind of place guests return to—not simply for its beauty, but for how it makes them feel. Effortless, inspired, and entirely at ease. Long after departure, Fairview lingers—not just as a destination, but as an experience of belonging.
