Great vacation stay.
Spent Fri - Mon at Dunes Resort. White Party on Sunday was a blast. Friendly staff, clean King room and spectacular pool. Close to Saugatuck for tourists. Will definitely visit again. No need for us to stay anywhere else.

What you suggest as alternative transportation from CChicago to your location.
As Farr as I know there is not another way to get there. There is a water transportation option for driving your car to Mannotowac, WI to catch a he ship to Ludington, MI. And head south in your car

"King rooms overlooking pool."
"It was a super busy 4th of July vacation & the 1 BR cabin area was very quiet & close to the pool!"

"ask for the renovated building."
