Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!
Green Gables is located in the picturesque town of Douglas. Sister town to Saugatuck, Douglas is a laid-back, yet high-class, travel destination, known for its world-renowned art galleries. Douglas is quiet enough to sit outside and hear nothing but the breeze and the birds chirping, yet vibrant enough to offer food, drinks, and entertainment that would suit a city many times its size. Locally owned businesses line the streets of downtown, and if you manage to exhaust Downtown Douglas—which you may not—Downtown Saugatuck is less than five minutes away by car or easily available on foot or by bicycle.
After you’ve sampled the local food and drinks—many grown right here in this top-producing agricultural region—and shopped at our many independent boutiques, head out into Pure Michigan's natural beauty at our gorgeous beaches, trails, and state parks. Nearby Oval Beach was ranked by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top 25 best shorelines on the entire planet! Rent a watercraft or take a dip in sparkling, immaculate Lake Michigan, then climb our mountainous sand dunes to shady wooded trails.
