Beauty in Every Season

Fall asleep to the soothing whisper of leaves in the breeze

Forest Inn is your peaceful, private getaway. A boutique inn nestled in a grove of hardwoods just a short stroll from Lake Michigan’s sandy shore. Enjoy the quiet comfort of your tastefully appointed private suite. Be pampered with a hearty, delectable breakfast. Lounge poolside, or perhaps recline beside a cozy fire. Indulge in the artistic and culinary delights of nearby downtown Saugatuck and Douglas. Explore endless wooded trails weaving through natural dunes. Amble to the sandy beach to marvel at an amazing sunset. Fall asleep to the soothing whisper of leaves in the breeze. Your tranquil, relaxing stay awaits, and we look forward to hosting you as you make memories.
