I was worried about this not being clean and not a well maintained property. But it was great. Everything was clean and well maintained. It is walking distance to downtown Saugatuck and some pretty good food. Thanks for hosting us.

charming mid-century motor lodge

Delightful, renovated 1950s motor lodge. Comfortable rooms, charming exterior and landscaping (great picnic area under mature pine trees), and excellent location for walking to downtown Douglas or even Douglas beach (less than 1 mi away). We'll be staying here again for sure!

Perfect Location

Our stay was amazing because we were able to visit with friends. The location of the Pines is perfect. The rooms was clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom is very, very small. The walls are a bit thin so we were able to hear the guests staying next door to us. There is a lovely outdoor area for sitting and relaxing which is a big plus.
