“ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.
But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”
~ Lucy Van Pelt, Peanuts
“Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”
~ Franklin P. Jones
Something a little magical happens in Saugatuck this time of year. Along with the snowflakes, it seems that love is floating in the air, everywhere. This extra bit of wonder makes Saugatuck the ideal place for a romantic Valentine Michigan getaway.
The feeling of love is everywhere, starting with the special menus at restaurants all over town. You won’t want to miss the great view and comforting food of James Beard nominated chef, Matt Millar, at The Southerner. For a romantic dinner, try a cozy table for two at Bowdies Chophouse, Everday People Cafe, or Butch’s Dry Dock.
The galleries and studios will be bustling with activity for Winter Break Gallery Stroll. Be sure and visit James Brandess Studio & Gallery in Saugatuck and Water Street Gallery in Douglas. Of course, while you are enjoying the fine art, you may also want to peak into several of our unique stores and boutiques. Be sure and stop in to buy a beautiful bottle of wine from Mike, our local Level III Sommelier at Wine Sellers.
You can enjoy live music and dance the night away at Saugatuck Brewing, Salt of the Earth, or The What Not Inn.
While there’s love throughout our charming villages, Wickwood Inn is full of romantic (and sweet!) surprises. We’re celebrating at Wickwood February 9 &10, Wednesday the 14th, and throughout the three-day-weekend of February 17,18,19th.

Delight in French tulips and Roses … even Rose Petals on the pillows. The days are filled with surprises … morning, afternoon, and nighttime too! Of course we’ll be serving lots of chocolate: Chocolate Jumbles, Brownie Bites, Chocolate Bark, and Chocolate Chip Cookies. There will be Red Berries and Berry Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce.
