Yes, the rooms are outdated, but you won't care when you see the beautiful view and the landscaping surrounding this facility. Clean rooms, a great pool with an actual depth of 10 feet (!!), gas campfire, and plenty of places to sit and watch the sun set. Be prepared: you will need some muscles to walk up and down the...

Every summer for at least 25 years Harvey and I have vacationed at our favorite establishment, the Lakeshore Resort. There is no better place to be in order to enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan than this resort. The views from every angle are spectacular. (Our hundreds of slides and photos will attest to that.) The owners have made us... More

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

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

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
