Drew Barrymore is singing the praises of Saugatuck! The actress recently put out a "Top 10 Backyard Bucket List" of places she loves to visit, and the West Michigan gem made the list!

Here's what she said: "Up north magic in every direction. Sip cider at Virtue Farm, climb the sandy sweep of dunes at Saugatuck State Park, and spot cherry trees along the roadside. Use the woods as your home base. Bring back a jar of cherry preserves and tuck it away for a winter afternoon when you need a taste of summer."

Her list also included Austin, Texas; Keystone, South Dakota; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and the Berkshires.
