BE YOU AT THE DUNES
The Dunes is one of the largest LGBTQ+ resorts in the country, located right between beautiful Saugatuck and Douglas, Michigan. No matter who you are or who you love, we’re the place where you can truly be yourself. Swim in our pool, make friends at our bar, celebrate at our world-class events, visit the iconic Oval Beach, or check out all the amazing shops and local restaurants downtown. Whatever you do, just be you!
Stay, Play & SLAY at the dunes
The Dunes is more than just a resort—it’s a destination where anyone and everyone, particularly our LGBTQ community, can simply be themselves. We are one of the largest gay and lesbian resorts in the country nestled in the prideful beach towns of Saugatuck and Douglas, MI.
Winter Statement
We want to thank everyone that visited us this year and helped keep The Dunes safe this summer. Our guests’ and patrons’ safety and health are our main priorities.
As the cooler temps are forcing us to move indoors, we have made the decision to close for the winter. We know indoor events are major spreaders of COVID-19. For this reason, we do not feel comfortable keeping our bar and resort open.
This is not goodbye, simply a “see ya later.” We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Make sure to go online and get your room booked for 2021!
STAY AT Our Accommodations
From hotel rooms to 1 and 2 bedroom cottages, whatever your budget we have it all, we’ll make sure you have a comfortable place to get your beauty rest.
