Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area or our own hiking paths in the area. And of course, winter offers skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, and snow-filled fun.

We’re 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms - amazing pies and fruit picking. Fenn Valley Winery offers tastings and tours. Antique lovers, the area has a treasure trove of stores in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck. Summer brings dune rides, South Haven & Saugatuck's beautiful beaches, biking trails, and fruit galore: cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches.

Note: We aim to maintain a peaceful environment for all our guests and neighbors. Large, disruptive parties are not allowed.
