Gay Saugatuck and Douglas
- With more than 140 gay-owned businesses ranging from B&Bs to art galleries to pie shops, charming little Saugatuck and neighboring Douglas have been dubbed the Fire Island of the Midwest.
- The charming lakeside villages have a welcoming vibe that dates back almost a century, when the Art Institute of Chicago ushered in a bohemian air by establishing its summer school of painting on the Ox-Bow Lagoon. Today, vacationers make the two-hour trek from Chicago to spend a weekend in this charming gay enclave.
- The twin towns of Saugatuck and Douglas, beachtowns on Lake Michigan southwest of Grand Rapids, have a surprising number of gay-owned/ gay-friendly establishments. In addition to the well-known Dunes Resort gay nightlife destination, there are several gay-owned former motels, now styled as 1950s retro-chic boutique inns and resorts along the Blue Star Highway.
