This was by far one of those great little internet finds! My husband and I booked a last minute trip to the area and had a wonderful stay at the Pines. The room was beautifully decorated, very clean and affordable! Steve and Rob were both wonderful! They even provided restaruant recommendations and even made a reservation for us, where we... More

Stayed here with our 17 year old son. Very nice. The Lodge is located within walking distance of Douglas. Oval Beach and Saugatuck are a bit of a hike, but are doable. Managers know the area and provide excellent advice on the area. More

I, like the reviewer, don’t like surprises either. However, having not figured out how to properly control wind and hail storms which cause utility issues, surprises do occur in day-to-day life—especially when you are situated within a mile of the big lake on the other side of windy Chicago! We did recently experience an outage and because we are in... More

My wife and I stayed here in October for a Saturday night stay and just loved it. Everything was clean and modernized on, the inside while keeping the vintage look on the outside. Convenient for walking in to Douglas, a bit longer walk but very doable into Saugatuck. Would stay again. More

Saugatuck and Douglas have become an annual destination for our group of friends... Either for the Fourth of July or Labor Day... or sometimes both! There are plenty of options when it comes to lodging but we never consider anywhere else... The Pines Motorlodge has numerous things that make it ideal (which is evidenced by the number of guests) for... More

This property is a wonderful remodel - beautiful courtyard, great attention to detail on the outside.The rooms are very plain, and small but clean and well decorated with extremely comfortable beds. We were charged $20.00 for our third person. Although the property is billed as a "motor lodge" it really functions much like a bread and breakfast in all the... More

Stayed at the Pines Motorlodge for a couple of nights in August and thoroughly enjoyed the retro experience as well as the hospitality of the owners. Very friendly and accommodating place to stay in the heart of Douglas/Saugatuck area. It's close to all the shops, restaurants, and beaches in the area. The exterior and interior of the motel has been... More
