Travel Note: LOOK EARLY!

Holland and Saugatuck are popular summer destinations, and lodging can fill up quickly. To ensure everyone has accommodations that suit their needs, we encourage guests to explore options early. Many Airbnbs and VRBOs allow advance booking with flexible cancellation policies, which we highly recommend taking advantage of, as securing lodging becomes increasingly challenging during the busy summer months.
