It was quiet and we couldn't hear anyone in neighboring rooms. The bed was comfy and the room was clean. We had a standard king room on the second floor. Check-in was easy and our front door overlooked the pool. I don't think the pool was open when we were there because it was still chilly outside. It was a great experience, but frankly it was just a bummer that it felt like the entire space was geared towards gay men rather than queer PEOPLE as a whole. As a queer woman, I just wish it had felt like I was represented too, but it's okay cause not every space is for me! I also don't know if it's the norm, but the bar was pretty empty for a Saturday night which just didn't give the vibe for dancing I was hoping for. All the staff were so kind and helpful. Would totally stay here again if needed/staying in the area and would recommend to someone who is curious! I don't think I'd seek it out independently just because I live in Grand Rapids and it's only about 45 minutes away and again, feels like the vibe is more focused on men.

It's just steps away from the chainferry, so if you're in downtown Saugatuck, a lot of people will chainferry it over and explore this park. We had a beautiful weather day that was just chilly enough to now want to park at the beach. This ended up being a ton of fun because we could essentially hike up a dune, make our way to Oval Beach and get the unique experience of nature here. The steps are not as crazy as I'm making it out to be, and there are nice little rest benches as you go, if needed. Bonus, there are so few if any mosquitoes here. We didn't really know what to do after we got to the top. We ended up just letting whatever sounded fun happen, which ended with us dunking feet in the waters at Oval Beach. *Important tip! If you do this, do NOT head back up the same dune you come down to return to town. It's a steep, hot, sandy dune that will zap all your energy. Instead, take the "John Woolam Trail" as you come out of Oval Beach for a nice, flatter, solid, wooded experience.

First visit to the window I was told tours may or may not go based on demand. Please come back at 12. Well, there were not enough people at 12, but there was a larger group booked at 1. Please come back at 1. At 1 o'clock the large group decided they may or may not go. Since the phones at the ticket window don't work, I leave my # with the guy at the window and he will call me from his cell to confirm so I don't have to waste a third trip. He calls me a little later to tell me the tour is set and ready to go at 2 and would we like to go? I confirm and am told to be back at the window at 2. At 1:58, we see the "Duck" pull away as I step to the ticket window. Different guy is sitting there, had no clue we were coming. Sorry, no can't do, this ride is gone. I am sure the experience on this attraction is great, judging by the feedback from others. Customer service and reliability to actually experience it? Nonexistent.

The art is fairly priced and in great detail. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The frame work is also great with matching matting and different selection of frames. You can also buy Unframed pieces. This place is definitely worth the look if you are in the area.

It always amazes me that gems like the Waterfront Film Festival exist to the silence of the masses…read more You must come to this festival. In its 11th year, if you've always wanted to attend Sundance or Cannes but can't get to Park City or France - then this is the next best thing, without the papparazzi and hype, but with all the heart and authentic, genuine, real love of the arts. SAG Indie ranks this one of the top 5 in the world, and it's easy to see why. Yes, it's small town, and yes, the productions are missing the glitz and glam, but this is Rothbury meets Hollywood. It's outside, in a beautiful and idyllic small town (voted one of the top gay destinations in the Midwest). You can dine with the stars, meet the Directors and Cast, and still find a hotel room and a spot at the local breakfast diner - no hassles. You will see films here that debut in NY and LA later in the year. Great films that may never even make their distribution paths to the Midwest. It's a (Michigan) treasure. Support it. Go to the beach. Wear your Merrells (or Chacos). Take a deep breath as you circle the town looking for a great parking spot (for 5 minutes) and thank the good Lord you really don't live in LA.

It attracts directors, producers, actors and movie mavens from New York and California to this laid-back summer resort village. But you don't have to be a Tinseltown temptress to enjoy the show. This reporter caught up with festival co-founder Hopwood Depree while he was in Hollywood. When asked about the festival's success he said, "People can relax on the beach and eat at one of the fabulous restaurants during the day. At night, everyone comes together to watch these amazing films shown in unusual spaces like boat sheds." Netflix can never duplicate that collective experience, sitting together in the dark and watching a film projected on a big screen. Get the $200 SuperPass and you'll have priority seating for all of the films and seminars.
