Surrounded by woods, this beautiful Victorian-style home offers quiet relaxation in an ideal setting. The hardwood floors, leaded-glass windows, oak-paneled staircase, and wraparound porch all add to the inviting elegance of Sherwood Forest. Queen-size beds, private bathrooms, and air conditioning add 20th century comforts.

Each morning breakfast is served in the lace-curtained dining room or on the gracious porch. Breakfast favorites include blueberry coffeecake, cinnamon -orange French toast, or potato quiche, accompanied by fresh fruit salad, home- baked breads and muffins, and gourmet coffee and teas.

During the summer, swim in the heated pool, adorned with a spectacular, hand -painted mural of a sunken Greek ship embedded in a coral reef, surrounded by amphora vessels and a rainbow of tropical fish. Or walk 1/2 block to a Lake Michigan public beach. The area's wide, white sandy beaches are the perfect place for strolling, swimming, or watching beautiful sunsets.

In the springtime, use Sherwood Forest's bicycles to explore the scenic lakeshore or for a short ride into charming Saugatuck/Douglas. Nearby wooded dunes also offer great hiking paths to enjoy Mother Nature as she awakens and sends out her welcoming chorus of flowers and scents.

In the fall, just outside your window, watch the Beech, Sugar Maple, and Sassafras trees paint a colorful picture for your viewing pleasure.In the winter, cross-country ski through the dunes overlooking Lake Michigan, sled the golf course hills, or perhaps just enjoy some much-needed down time with a good book, a warm Jacuzzi, and a cozy fireplace.

All year-round, enjoy the many shopping and fine dining experiences in
Saugatuck and Douglas.
