The Kirby Hotel

Set in an 1890s Victorian building with a wraparound porch, this upmarket hotel lies 8 minutes' walk from shopping in the town center. It's 2 miles from both I-196 and Saugatuck Oval Beach.

The 5 cozy rooms, some with bay windows, feature sitting areas, iPod docks and flat-screen TVs, plus high-thread-count sheets; 2 have private bathrooms. A 2-bedroom suite adds a free wine and cheese tasting.
