Welcome to Goldberry Woods, SW Michigan's #1 rated property! Look no further for your family reunion or company retreat as there are simply more amenities on the 30-acre space than any other property in the region. On-site options include hiking woods, kayaking the river that wraps the property, picking berries, feeding chickens, swimming in the 45-foot heated pool or relaxing in hot tub. Bike or walk to nearby Lake Michigan beach (bicycles provided), play bags or badminton/volleyball, sit by campfire, or relax in our top-rated Inn. Lots of space to spread out for your group.

Please see our goldberrywoods site for more details. We are a Select Registry property (one of only a few in Michigan and featured in Midwest Living, Conde Nast Traveler, Washington Post, Chicago Magazine, Chicago/Metro Parent Magazine, and more) and we are the perfect spot for your family reunion, holiday, or corporate retreat. The inn sleeps 16-24 in beds or add a cottage/house or vintage camper to accommodate 2-30+ more. Relax by the heated pool with auto cover and hot tub, enclosed for indoor swimming all winter long; shared with our other cottages --but lots of seating options and room for everyone to spread out. We also have a new barn venue that overlooks the pool--great for groups/weddings/reunions (can seat up to 75) or rent for your own private pool house. The Barn includes ping pong, pool table, arcade game system, bathrooms, and more.

Come and stay in the heart of Harbor Country on 30 secluded acres of woods with hiking trails, river and stream, orchards, organic farm, and prairie less than one mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan. Pets are NOT allowed in the inn (but are allowed in our cottages or vintage campers).

The Inn is normally run as a bed & breakfast, but we have opened our doors to make it available as a group Vacation Rental for select dates/weeks (in order to give ourselves some needed breaks during the year!). If you have a smaller group and do not require the entire inn, then we can likely accommodate you as part of our standard B&B (and we may allow for smaller groups to rent the inn, depending on season--call for details). Please see our goldberrywoods website for details and availability.

The Goldberry Woods Inn includes over 6,500 sq ft of space to relax. Each of the 8 bedrooms/suites includes a private bath with double jacuzzi tub with shower or walk-in marble shower, gas fireplace, large streaming tv with Blu-Ray player and Satellite channels, WiFi, and a hand-crafted king or queen bed made by a local artisan using native Michigan trees, featuring luxurious bedding. Three of the rooms include additional, private sleeping areas/bedrooms (great for families, total of 11 different sleeping areas). Though the Inn features vintage and unique décor and furniture, we will provide you with classic comfort including luxury linens and immaculate rooms. The three first-floor rooms are also handicap accessible, with two suites featuring barrier-free showers with grab bars and benches.

Indoor amenities include a fully-stocked kitchen with all the pans and dishes you'll need; a dining room with wood-burning fireplace and seating for 24 people; a laundry area; a large living room with board games, books, and a wood-burning stove; and a 4-season sun room with couches and chairs, a 65" streaming tv, a game/puzzle table, and a large selection of DVD's to watch. Sit by one of the windows and watch the birds at the feeders, or relax with a game or puzzle by a roaring fire.

Outdoor amenities include numerous decks overlooking the gardens with tables/chairs and a Weber gas grill; fire pit with free firewood; seasonal games including bags, badminton, bocce; bicycles to borrow to ride to the beach or explore the back roads; a large custom multi-level play set featuring climbing walls, swings, slide; a fruit orchard and organic farm; kayaks and canoes to float peacefully down our river; and 20+ acres of serene woods with hiking trails to explore (a truly beautiful location).

You can also rent the Entire Estate for your group stay.

The Barn overlooks the heated pool, farm, and woods--and is a beautiful space for your large group to gather.
