Voted Best Bed and Breakfast in the State for 2006 by Lake Magazine Travelers. This beautiful Victorian home offers inviting elegance in a wooded setting. Hardwood floors, leaded-glass windows, and wraparound porch add to the ideal surroundings. Guest rooms are complete with antiques, cozy wing chairs, private baths, Queen Beds and central air. Two suites available: the 1st reproduces the serenity of the Northwoods as a replica of the inside of a log cabin.

5 out of 5October Delight
October 27, 2010
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Sherwood Forest B&B for a weekend at the end of October. Most Michigan resort towns have rolled up their sidewalks by this time, but not Saugatuck and Douglas. Everywhere we went it was quite busy. Especially the dinner spot recommended by the Innkeepers, Everyday People Cafe. We will return if for no other reason than to dine at this excellent restaurant again! The best part of the weekend was our time spent at Sherwood Forest. We enjoyed breakfast and pleasant conversation to start each day, and were able to soak in the relaxing atmosphere throughout the day. Our room was beautiful and huge with the fireplace, living area, and jacuzzi. That was also one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. We will definitely be back!
4.8 out of 5Wonderful Place

We really enjoyed our stay here. Wish we would have booked for 3 nights instead of just one. Keith was very nice. Room was fantastic, we stayed in the Log Cabin room.

My husband and I have stayed at Sherwood Forest twice now. This B&B is amazing. The location, the rooms, the service, and the amenities are all extraordinary. We highly recommend...you won't be disappointed.
4.0 out of 5Lovely restful B&B
August 22, 2010
Lovely very quiet and restful B&B two minutes from the beach and a half hour walk from downtown Saugatuck. Room was tastefully decorated and bathroom with its tub for two was relaxing. Although we did not get a chance to have breakfast as we had to leave too early or partake in the pool and patio, I am sure you would not be disappointed. Welcoming and helpful hosts.
