Our room was clean and comfy. The hot tub was amazing and the pavilion/patio was super nice! Fire pit was also avaliable (bring your own wood) We saw deer in the back yard in the evening while sitting right outside our room! Definitely would stay again!

Very small but clean and well furnished rooms. Nice backyard deck. Jacuzzi closes at 10 pm. Breakfast is very spare, but a good cafe just steps away. Well located. Walking distance to the Dunes and better Douglas restaurants. Good for a night or two.

A cute little hotel room. Clean. Nice area out back for hanging out or enjoying the hot tub. Not sure which continent the "continental breakfast" was from - maybe Antarctica? It was a little lacking. Otherwise, a very nice stay.

Clean, cozy and comfortable! Adorable room with everything you need. Not sure why people were complaining that the room was small, motel rooms of that kind were always small. Only suggestions is to jazz up the breakfast, even day old pastries would be better than food wrapped in plastic. We will come back for sure!

Place was really cute and well done. I was dissapointed that certain amenities were closed down for the off season. Because of this we didnt use the facilities.

Cozy room. Liked decorating combo of old and contemporary. A handicap bar in the bathroom across from toilet would have been helpful. Contenintal breakfast was really slim.

The rooms were clean but small and basic. There was no person on the property for check-in or check-out. It was a very impersonal experience. Also, I was not aware of their cancelation policy - 7 days.

Fall Getaway

We had a very enjoyable stay. The room was very clean. Slight bleach smell when first arrived, but opened window for a bit and all was fine. Loved the back porch and covered area, would definitely utilize in the warmer weather. Only drawback was the toilet seat was very well worn. Could use a replacement. But this didn’t affect our stay at all.

Quick overnite stay for fun in Saugatuck.

Liked the check in process, but pretty short on lighting. Needed more pillows. Tiny bathroom We didn’t get to use the back yard facilities but they looked nice. Only else is the totally contactless office. Locally owned would have liked to have met the owners.
