About the Owners — Madison and Frank
We are the Christophers, and the Third Coast Hideaway is our family’s southwest Lake Michigan dream vacation home, found summer 2019. It took over 3 years of weekend trips to find TCH. It is Madison’s happy place, and it is incredibly important to us that we answer all your questions and replace worries with excitement before you book. Call Madison at 269-264-8750 — she is a morning person, call as early as 7:30 a.m. Eastern and have coffee together.
Why Madison Chose Douglas
We looked up and down the southwest coast — New Buffalo, Union Pier, St. Joseph, Three Oaks, South Haven, Holland and more. Three years of road trips finally led us to Saugatuck-Douglas. The energy, the people, the atmosphere felt perfect. Then Madison stepped onto the screened-in porch, with gardens and fountains and birds chirping and incredible light, and said “This is a sanctuary.”
Why TCH?
TCH is a big-group people-pleasing place. Everyone can do what they want, when they want. Picture a group of 11 of all ages: grandparents, parents with little kids, a dad who wants to golf every day — everyone finds their own thing, then comes back together. That is the magic.
Our TCH Promise
We are dedicated owners who truly care about making this your best vacation ever. We will be 100% honest with all questions. We want you so happy with your experience that you become raving TCH fans who come back year after year.
