There
are just a handful of Michigan Resorts filled with the cheerful good spirits
that come from congenial people and happy times. The Beachway Resort &
Hotel in Saugatuck surely ranks among them. It is nestled atop a sand dune overlooking
the bustling Saugatuck waterfront and just a few steep steps from the Saugatuck
Chain Ferry Dock. This is an exceptional resort with a devoted following.
In an
area abounding with bed and breakfasts, the Beachway offers a nice change of
pace. It combines the history, nostalgia and charm of a B&B with the
privacy of a Saugatuck hotel or motel.
The Beachway's refreshing cottage-style rooms, terraced porches and
abundance of cascading flowers all work together to celebrate summertime. The
great common porch has a view of the river and Wick’s Park Gazebo where jazz
and blues bands play Wednesday evenings during the warm months. Guests can sit
and watch the sailboats and small craft while listening to the wistful strains
of light jazz or down-home blues.
Guest
rooms have the informal charm of summer cottages. They are well-appointed,
comfortable and cheerful. Amenities include cable television, DVDs, DVD
library, WIFI, air conditioning, an extensive movie library, board games, toys,
restaurant menus to peruse, a fax machine and copier upon request, plus morning
coffee, fruit and donuts. Some rooms are equipped with fireplaces, Jacuzzi’s
and kitchenettes. The Beachway also
offers a variety of other lodging accommodations near and around the resort.
The owners are happy to help guests plan the perfect pure Michigan vacation!
The
centerpiece of the resort is the deluxe heated swimming pool. This is an
informal, active and friendly place. Kids have a great time here! They can jump
and splash and play to their heart's content while parents look on contentedly
knowing that these are the summer vacations from which lifelong memories are
made.
Though
guests come for the art, theatre, beaches, history and romance-they’ll leave
remembering the convivial hospitality at the resort. The kind-hearted,
good-humored proprietors are sensitive to the needs and interests of travelers.
They’ll be the reason you enjoy your stay and the reason you come back for
more.
