The Pines Motorlodge and Cottages, Saugatuck Mi

Dont be dissuaded by the fresh-off-the-highway setting of this very unique retro motor lodge. The Pines is not so much a motel in Saugatuck but more a delightful experience. This is a place for people who seek out the unexpected and who prefer personality to plastic room keys. This bright chartreuse wood-frame vintage motor lodge is just such a place.
Innkeepers Steve Laughner and Rob Goeke, both expatriate entrepreneurs from Indianapolis with backgrounds in renovating historic landmarks, specifically sought out this property to create the areas first 1950s funky, groovy makeover. They bought the old Pines Motel in Saugatuck-Douglas in 2001. After traveling throughout the east coast and pouring through old issues of Architectural Digest, they decided to pattern their re-invention around the post-war era from 1945-1955 and focus on what was in vogue at the time.
