Your hosts, Keith and Susan Charak, were drawn to Western Michigan by its beauty and innumerable charms. They look forward to sharing their enthusiasm for the area with their guests.

Suites:

Two suites are available. The first reproduces the serenity of the north woods as a replica of the inside of a log cabin. It includes a stone-mantle gas fireplace, viewed from either the two-person Jacuzzi or the comfort of the bedroom.

The second suite features the same amenities but is decorated in the flair of the late 19th century. One room sports a hand painted mural that transforms the room into a canopied tree loft 68 feet high in the treetops and is complemented by a gas fireplace. In every detail it is clear that care has been taken to provide an environment ideal for unwinding and relaxing.

Log Cabin Suite:

This spacious room emits sights and smells of the great pine forests, with round log walls, planked ceilings and sanded floors. The bedroom area and attached living room area is decorated with mission style furniture, oriental rugs and framed hand colored plat maps of Saugatuck & Douglas from 1913. There is a double-sided gas fieldstone fireplace which faces the bedroom area and the other side faces the 125 gallon Jacuzzi. There is also a wet bar with refrigerator and sink & a separate bath and shower.

Victorian Suite:

Decorated in the flair of the late 19th century, this expansive suite is complete with a Queen-size bed facing a slate-stone gas fireplace and hardwood maple mantel, along with a comfortable sitting area with couch and cozy wing chair. Oriental rugs and eye-catching artwork add finishing touches. The bathroom off this suite sports a Spanish-tiled, two-person 125 Jacuzzi; wet bar complete with sink and refrigerator; and separate shower area.

Tree Tops Room:

One of Sherwood Forest's most creative rooms! It boasts a professionally hand painted mural covering the entire room, transforming the space into a canopied loft raised high up in the tree tops surrounded by woods. This room is complemented by an oak-mantel gas fireplace and private bathroom with shower.

Sorry, no breakfast is provided with the cottage.

Breakfast:

Breakfast is served each morning featuring such favorites as blueberry coffeecake, cinnamon-orange French toast, or potato quiche.

Pool:

The hippest pool on the planet!

Hand painted by the world famous muralist Conrad Kaufman from Kalamazoo. Swim in the heated pool, adorned with a spectacular mural of a sunken Greek ship embedded in a coral reef, surrounded by amphora vessels and a rainbow of tropical fish.

The Seasons:

In the springtime, use Sherwood Forest's bicycles to explore the scenic lakeshore or for a short ride into charming Saugatuck/Douglas. Nearby wooded dunes also offer great hiking paths to enjoy Mother Nature as she awakens and sends out her welcoming chorus of flowers and scents.

In the fall, just outside your window, watch the Beech, Sugar Maple, and Sassafras trees paint a colorful picture for your viewing pleasure.

In the winter, cross-country ski through the dunes overlooking Lake Michigan, sled the golf course hills, or perhaps just enjoy some much-needed down time with a good book, a warm Jacuzzi, and a cozy fireplace.

All year-round, enjoy the many shopping and fine dining experiences in Saugatuck and Douglas.
