WICKWOOD INN
Saugatuck, Michigan

 
ENJOY OUR ENDLESS SUMMER
 
Indian Summer Is Everyone's Favorite Season!



"Summer, summer, it will always be summer."
                                                           --- Rachel Peder

 

Warm weather lingers long after Labor Day in Saugatuck and our Summer days go on and on.

That means that days of beaches and cocktails with a view continue for weeks to come. The galleries, restaurants, shops, Tasting Rooms, are all open and less crowded. Many have special events and menus every week. This is the time to experience Saugatuck at its best.

We're very lucky in that we live where the breezes warm over the big Lake Michigan and bring us an extraordinarily long Indian Summer that lasts throughout September and October and often well into November. All around town, we continue to celebrate our very special villages. Join in the fun.
 

"Wickwood Inn has amazing food." --- Chicago Magazine, June 2019
 

Indian Summer Specials
A few mid-weekdays available pre-Labor Day.

Weekend availability for September 27-28, October 11-12, 18-19 and 25-26th.

Good mid-week availability when everything in Saugatuck is open and there are few crowds.
You can meander to your heart's content and easily walk the beach
and there's little waiting for a table.
