Historic Interest
Over 100 years old, the Beachway Resort in Saugatuck, Michigan first opened its doors in 1900 as "Pokagon Inn", the first hotel on the west river bank. The hotel accommodated 100 visitors and included a 200 ft. dock on the river. The first year must have been very successful because in 1901 it was announced that 50 more rooms would be added. However, in the fall of 1901, the hotel burned and was closed. In 1906 a new owner rebuilt the Pokagon Inn in the Beachway's current location.
Until the 1930's the only access to Lake Michigan from downtown Saugatuck was by boat up the river. It was during the 30's that Oval Beach Road was constructed to connect the west river bank to the lake. Since this left the hotel "the nearest resort to the beach" as the ads said, the name "Pokagon Inn" was dropped and changed to "Beachway Resort".
After several changes of ownership, the current owners, Kathy and Frank Wilson, longtime residents of the area, gained possession of the crumbling building on April Fools Day, 1984. Renovations included a new foundation, new roof, and floor to ceiling makeovers for all rooms. The Beachway was remodeled a second time in 1994 to expand the front of the building, adding about six feet to all view rooms.
