  • Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!

    We Michiganders like to hold up our hand and point to where we are located within the state of Michigan. If you do that you will find the part of the hand that contains "the hook of the hamate bone" and BAM! That's how we got the name! Hook of the Hamate is located in the beautifully lush town of Fennville. Sprawling farmlands lead you to believe you are miles and miles away from civilization, when in fact you are mere minutes from some of the best culture Michigan has to offer! This area has been developing over the years and has quickly become a hotspot on the travel map, with its cute cafes, delicious restaurants, abundance of wineries and breweries, and plentiful orchards.

    Only 4 miles up the road you land in the darling towns of Saugatuck & Douglas. These sister towns have a storied history of incredible beauty, divine cuisine, and a killer art scene. From small businesses that have been operating for decades to fresh, new popups, there is something for everyone in this thriving cultural center voted Best Beach Town by Midwest Living Magazine.

    The nearby Oval Beach is only 10 minutes away, and Conde Nast Traveler has ranked it in the top 25 best shorelines in the world! That's right, the WORLD! State-known hiking and biking trails fill the area, and gorgeous state parks with majestic forested dunes line the shoreline. There is no shortage of incredible offerings no matter what you're into. Chill at the house and take in the peaceful surroundings, head into town for shopping and dining, hit the trails and immerse yourself in nature, or bask on one of the many beaches along the shoreline. We'll be right here waiting for you!

What our Guests are Saying

  • Wow! This home is amazing. The attention to detail was incredible, every inch of this place has unique details that make it homey, but also luxurious and zen-like! We did yoga and sauna everyday, topped off with a rain shower— simply perfection! The area is private and really close to wineries, breweries and orchards. Our kids loved the corn maze at Cranes and hiking the dunes at the beach. If you are looking for a zen-like getaway this is your place. We watched tons of wildlife from the living room and yoga room overlooking the pond (deer, beaver, rabbits and so many birds!) The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked. This home would be perfect for families, bachelorette parties, yoga retreats and more! You can’t do wrong with this home! We will return!

  • Friends and I had a wonderful February weekend at the Hook of the Hamate. The home is gorgeous and spacious yet warm and cozy. We made dinner, enjoyed wine by the fireplace, and played card games on Friday. Then, we enjoyed a bubbly hot tub on a starry winter night. It was beyond relaxing! On Saturday, we explored Saugatuck and Fennville. We experienced a fun afternoon in a heated igloo at Fenn Valley Winery. We also enjoyed a nice dinner with a great band and a round of darts at Saugatuck Brewery. However, we all were eager to return to "The Hook" and enjoy the incredible ambiance of the home. Every detail was considered for guests, from comfortable beds to beautifully scented soaps. We did not want to leave! Thank you for a wonderful winter weekend. We hope to return!

  • Such a luxurious stay at this one of a kind boutique experience. I used the in-house spa every day; hot tub and steam were the favorites. The detail and design make this a unique vacation stay that is unlike any other. The beds are plush with lands end sheets that are monogrammed with the owners pets names-so 🥰 . The top level of the house was thoughtfully set up with a posh kitchen and interesting areas to gather and connect- we ate outside every evening in the screened in porch that’s elevated in the trees. We kayaked in the Kalamazoo river and practiced yoga with Harvey every morning- oh, the chanting. Our family will be back at least annually.

  • We just returned from a girl's weekend at Hook of the Hamate, and the experience recharged our minds, as well as our bodies. The home is a feast for the eyes: even better than the photos, with interesting and beautiful touches throughout. We spent the first hour simply appreciating the incredible thought and intention behind every design decision. Each room truly is a work of art. We had plenty of space to relax, and even work a little when we needed to. The fully screened porch was a favorite spot for all of us, and we spent every evening there, enjoying the breeze and the gentle sounds of the nearby water lily pond. The spa level is amazing - we soaked in the copper tubs, enjoyed time in the steam room, and relaxed in the hot tub while watching the sunset. We highly recommend taking advantage of the Yoga Studio option. We booked a session with Harvey (one of the highlights of the trip) and also a sound bath experience. Loved every minute of our time here!

  • Incredible getaway space! So much care and detail was put into every single room. From the wallpaper choices, to the fixtures, to the beautiful copper sinks, it made me want to rethink my interior design decisions at my own home! I wanted to stay for a few more days because I couldn’t get enough of the spa and steam room combo, and the rainforest shower and copper soaking tubs are out of this world. We enjoyed some delicious meals out on the screened in porch when the weather was nice and when it got more chilly, we relaxed in front of the beautiful fireplace. To have delicious on demand filtered water and a beautiful yoga room to practice in was just the cherry on top of the whole experience. Can’t wait to come back!

  • We had a great time. The steam room and hot tub were relaxing, like having a private spa. We spent a lot of time on the fully screened in porch, protected from all bugs. They had everything we needed.
