standard.
Closer than you think.

Close enough for a weeknight tour.
If you’re coming from Grand Haven, South Haven, New Buffalo, or Kalamazoo, you already know this stretch of shoreline. What’s easy to miss is how easy it is to get to, how close it is to tour on a weeknight, and how close it is that most of your guests will drive home the same evening.
· Port 393 is in Holland
· Ivy House, Emerson Lounge, and Belvedere Estate are in Saugatuck

Come for the venue. Stay for the shore.
You’re close to a beach, a two-hundred-foot dune, and a downtown full of galleries. Tour a venue in the morning, and the afternoon takes care of itself.
Oval Beach
Soft sand, rolling dunes, and some of the best sunsets on Lake Michigan.
Mount Baldhead
Climb the dune stairs for a sweeping view of the harbor, town, and lake.
The Harbor
Sunset cruises, river paddles, and a ride on the hand-cranked Chain Ferry.
Downtown
Galleries by day, then patio dinners, cocktail bars, and local breweries.
Questions, answered.
