There are times when the weather outside does look a little frightful. But, there&#8217;s something so invigorating about just getting out there! The <strong>Saugatuck Dunes State Park<\/strong> is the perfect place to reset and reconnect with nature &#8230; no matter what Mother Nature has in store. The towering dunes and trees provide a layer of protection. The views of Lake Michigan always take our breath away. And, we love that there are options. At the State Park it&#8217;s easy to hike, snow shoe, or cross country ski. Maybe become a kid again and slide down a giant dune. You decide. We promise, you&#8217;ll feel better afterwards.<\/li>\n<li>Stroll across the street for <strong>Yoga<\/strong> | Maybe you have a dedicated daily practice, or maybe you haven&#8217;t done yoga in years. It doesn&#8217;t matter. The studio just across the street, <strong>Satya<\/strong>, is the perfect place. There are classes at a variety of levels seven days a week. Walk-ins are always welcome and the studio has everything you need at no extra charge. The instructors are well-trained and always glad to see you. There&#8217;s no better way to start the day.<\/li>\n<li>Reward yourself with a <strong>private tasting<\/strong> | Allow us to arrange a private tasting for two at <strong>J. Petter Galleries and wine bar<\/strong>. With over 12,000 square feet of gallery space and more than 400 boutique retail wines, J. Petter is the perfect place to relax and be inspired. All wines are from small, independent vineyards that cherish their terroir as much as their varietals and wine making traditions. This exclusive tasting is like taking a trip to some of the world\u2019s best vineyards with a learned guide. A rare experience and one you will love. If bottle to branch cider is more your jam, we&#8217;ll arrange a private tasting at <strong>Virtue Farms<\/strong>. Just one sip and you\u2019ll be able to taste Virtue\u2019s talent for using both European and American methods, along with new and traditional techniques of blending and barrel aging. Their approach uses a wide variety of heirloom apples, all grown close to home. You&#8217;re welcome.<\/li>\n<li>Shop <strong>unique stores, boutiques, galleries, and antique shops<\/strong> | Step right outside the front door of Wickwood Inn and into the amazing retail therapy of <strong>downtown Saugatuck<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll immediately notice the absence of big-box stores. That means you&#8217;ll enjoy finding one-of-a-kind items everywhere. Be sure and save time for GoodGoods, Renuar, Chantel, Landsharks, The Butler Pantry, Wine Sellers, Jeff Blandford Gallery, and the James Brandess Gallery. Craving even more fantastic shopping? Take a short drive north to the neighboring town of <strong>Holland<\/strong>. They have so many places we love (The Peanut Store, Readers World, The Globe, Butch&#8217;s, Outpost, Studio K, GladRags, and more!), and their snow-melt system keeps the walkways clear and dry.<\/li>\n<li>Indulge in a <strong>fully customized in-room massage<\/strong> | Wickwood Inn offers a wide range of massages and facials with various tempting herbals and oils. Our highly trained Massage Therapists will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Chose from Wickwood\u2019s Signature, Swedish, Hot Stone, or Energy Work massage. Every muscle in body will thank you.<\/li>\n<li>Our favorite way to spend a winter day? Completely lose track of time and <strong>never leave the inn<\/strong>. That&#8217;s right! Wickwood Inn has everything you need. <a href=\"https:\/\/souciehorner.com\/wickdev\/breakfast-more\/\">Amazing food<\/a>. Lovely setting featuring fine art and fresh flowers. Books. Games.
