A rare adults only retreat where guests enjoy Portage Lake views. Upscale cottages are nestled around a central courtyard, flower gardens, wood fired sauna + an Esther Williams pool. Designed for guests who value quiet and time well spent. If you are looking for a more refined stay, you will feel right at home here.

We provide lounge chairs, umbrellas, + pool floats. Our grassy courtyard has space for games and a gorgeous view of Portage Lake. The courtyard firepit is a great place to roast s'mores after dinner. Meet your cottage neighbors and toast to a great vacation day. We provide the firewood so you can just relax.

Make a splash in our iconic
Esther Williams pool.
Our 1950's pool will cool you off after a
day of exploring.

Enjoy a private 2 hour session in our
Finnish, wood fired sauna.

Bring your campfire skills along for roasting
the perfect marshmallow. The courtyard firepit is ready for s'mores and stargazing.
Our cottages are open seasonally ~ May to October.
Hosting guests and sharing our love for Northern Michigan is our passion...
but we do wrap things up in October each year.
We sincerely hope that you will be our guest this season!


I've put my personal touches on this vintage roadside resort.
A refuge to escape from the hustle & bustle of everyday life.
Sharing my love for northern Michigan
and hosting visitors is what I do best.
Start a new tradition here and join us "Up North."
I look forward to hosting you.
