The facility is beautiful, the shows are outstanding and Kurt Stamm the director....a genius! He went out of his way to help me celebrate my sisters birthday by acknowledging her the evening we attended. I had 11 people in my group and the evening could not have been any more special! We are fortunate to have this gem...professional theatre, at a reasonable price right in our backyard. I will forever support Saugatuck Center for the Arts and The Mason Street Theatre programs!

We stayed at The Dunes for a pageant recently and had such a fun time! It was so convenient to stay…read morethere after the event. The room was fine and did the job. It was quiet and we couldn't hear anyone in neighboring rooms. The bed was comfy and the room was clean. We had a standard king room on the second floor. Check-in was easy and our front door overlooked the pool. I don't think the pool was open when we were there because it was still chilly outside. It was a great experience, but frankly it was just a bummer that it felt like the entire space was geared towards gay men rather than queer PEOPLE as a whole. As a queer woman, I just wish it had felt like I was represented too, but it's okay cause not every space is for me! I also don't know if it's the norm, but the bar was pretty empty for a Saturday night which just didn't give the vibe for dancing I was hoping for. All the staff were so kind and helpful. Would totally stay here again if needed/staying in the area and would recommend to someone who is curious! I don't think I'd seek it out independently just because I live in Grand Rapids and it's only about 45 minutes away and again, feels like the vibe is more focused on men.

The entire atmosphere is great--the bar, the location, all the gays. The rooms, especially for the…read moreCOST, are terrible! The bathroom door didn't close! It just hit the door jamb. The toilet was rocking on its base (I thought it was going to come loose)! There was no shampoo in the shower, the towels were ratty and old, the bed was lumpy and uncomfortable, the TV was the size of an Apple Watch. You get the picture. A $79 hotel room that we were charged $300 for.

It always amazes me that gems like the Waterfront Film Festival exist to the silence of the masses…read more You must come to this festival. In its 11th year, if you've always wanted to attend Sundance or Cannes but can't get to Park City or France - then this is the next best thing, without the papparazzi and hype, but with all the heart and authentic, genuine, real love of the arts. SAG Indie ranks this one of the top 5 in the world, and it's easy to see why. Yes, it's small town, and yes, the productions are missing the glitz and glam, but this is Rothbury meets Hollywood. It's outside, in a beautiful and idyllic small town (voted one of the top gay destinations in the Midwest). You can dine with the stars, meet the Directors and Cast, and still find a hotel room and a spot at the local breakfast diner - no hassles. You will see films here that debut in NY and LA later in the year. Great films that may never even make their distribution paths to the Midwest. It's a (Michigan) treasure. Support it. Go to the beach. Wear your Merrells (or Chacos). Take a deep breath as you circle the town looking for a great parking spot (for 5 minutes) and thank the good Lord you really don't live in LA.

Because of the Waterfront Film Festival, Saugatuck is known from Hollywood to Halifax. Held in…read moreJune, the non-profit festival is one of the top five film festivals in the country. It attracts directors, producers, actors and movie mavens from New York and California to this laid-back summer resort village. But you don't have to be a Tinseltown temptress to enjoy the show. This reporter caught up with festival co-founder Hopwood Depree while he was in Hollywood. When asked about the festival's success he said, "People can relax on the beach and eat at one of the fabulous restaurants during the day. At night, everyone comes together to watch these amazing films shown in unusual spaces like boat sheds." Netflix can never duplicate that collective experience, sitting together in the dark and watching a film projected on a big screen. Get the $200 SuperPass and you'll have priority seating for all of the films and seminars.
