We love it here. It's our go-to place when we need a quiet, relaxing retreat. The location sets the tone as do the owners. It's very clean, up-to-date, and a good base from which to visit the surrounding areas. The lure of the evening sunsets is perfect for enjoying some good Michigan wine. The breakfasts are absolutely great - and... More

We love the gorgeous location and the quiet atmosphere of this resort. The property sits overlooking Lake Michgan with steps down to decks and a gorgeous beach. It is an adults only resort, so it is quiet and relaxing. Also a nice pool on the grounds and beautiful landscaping. The serve a nice buffet breakfast in the mornings. There are... More

We stayed in mid October and loved this place. Had never been to this area but were so happy with everything. The view is amazing, we loved that we could sit anywhere on the grounds and see the lake, especially loved sitting by the fire watching the sunset. Very romantic and quiet place. We walked down the stairs to the... More

My mother and I went for a girls weekend to Saugatuck, MI and stayed at the Lake Shore Resort upon recommendation of a friend. The property is beautiful, looks over the lake. You access the beach by stairs, a bit of a climb but worth it! Bring some wine & cheese for the sunset. The rooms are nice and clean,... More

Please read this in its entirety. My husband and I have stayed in this area before but from now on we will stay at this lovely little gem. The rooms decor may not be as charming as a B&B but they are spotless, large and have very comfy beds. The property itself is exceptional. The views, the beach, the trails...all... More

The beds are comfortable with clean linens and clean towels. After 10 years staying there, I have never noticed any bad smells or odors. We always look forward to the continental breakfast.

Being to Michigan beaches for the first time, this was the only hotel that was really on the beach after my research. Traveling in two couples, we found this place to be totally delightful. He furnishings were perfectly fine even though they were not first rate, but it was decorated with a more home feel. Our room didn't smell, and... More

For $200 a day you get a tiny smelly room (the smell never went away and seems to have followed us home!). Peeling wallpaper and a saggy king size bed. The grounds are nicely kept, and there is a fabulous view of the lake, across the road, with access to a private beach. The guest who stayed in our room... More
