Saugatuck, “The Art Coast of Michigan” is an esthetic paradise where a holiday in its vacation rentals will make you realize how its natural splendor inspires artists to capture its beauty on canvas. On the shores of Lake Michigan in south-west Lower Peninsula’s Allegan County, this splendid beachtown has Oval Beach - one of the best shoreline beaches of the country with rolling dunes and white sand.
This popular resort which even attracts tourists from Chicago has tons of vacation rentals to choose from. There are condos, townhomes and cottages that have the Kalamazoo River flowing in the backyards to houses on the lakefronts of Lake Kalamazoo or the calm Goshorn Lake with private docks for enjoying boating and fishing salmon and trout. The downtown has loads of charm with an abundance of art galleries, unique quaint shops, boutiques and restaurants and remains culturally abuzz with musical concerts and theater throughout the year. You could also visit nearby Holland for its Tulip Festival in May or see the scenic harbor at South Haven.
Enjoy basking on the beach or indulge in a gamut of water sports; picnic or hike on trails at the Saugatuck Dunes State Park which is equally adept for cross-country skiing in the winters; play golf at some spectacular golf courses in the area; or enjoy the colors of fall or that of the paintings in the many art galleries of downtown. The beauty of this town will surely arouse your esthetic senses with an artsy holiday at one of the many Saugatuck vacation rentals.
