Saugatuck

Sweet, sweet Saugatuck. I don't know if I could love another Michigan lake town more than this one. It's got Stars Hallow vibes everywhere you look:

Park with a gazebo? Check.

Delicious local coffee shop? Check.

Old homes with lots of charm? Check.

Walkable town with cute shops? Check.

Bed and breakfasts on every corner? Pretty much.

I kid you not people. I wouldn't be surprised if Luke and Lorelai were hiding out somewhere. ;)

Stay

We rented through AirBNB an adorable farmhouse with an awesome screened in porch. Perfect for game nights and morning chats. You can't go wrong with staying at a B&B, too. Mark and I stayed at the Wickwood Inn before and loved it.

Eat

Saugatuck has a variety of yummy local restaurants. A couple of my favorites are...

Uncommon Roasters- Local coffee shop that houses a lot of their own products (beans, syrups, etc). I'm not a PSL girl, but I do love their version. Their hot chocolate and homemade cookies are J + P approved.

Wick's Park Bar & Grille- Lovely patio seating that's kid friendly.

Explore

This area has options of fun all year round. I'm not sure if I love summer or fall better here. Both are just the best because each season brings something new. This time around we made sure to visit a local brewery, Virtue cider. We watched the sunset at the famous Oval Beach. Got on our game on at the bowling alley per Jack's request. Biked near the river. And walked around town to window shop and make a pit stop at the playground.
