We believe your vacation time should be as intentional as the time you spend working, parenting and surviving the daily grind. That’s why our individual cottages in Onekama make perfect getaway space for two people. We love children and pets but the time you spend at our cottage will be free of bubbly children and tail wagging fur babies.
Our resort offers you the space to recharge, explore a little and reconnect. We designed our property around casual fun so grab your cooler and guitar, swim suit, mountain bike and hiking shoes.
Explore all that Northern Michigan has to offer, warm up by our nightly campfire or catch up on lost nap time with a relaxing getaway at the Green Buoy Resort. Your premier lodging on Portage Lake in Onekama, Michigan. Four miles from Lake Michigan beaches, 7 miles to Arcadia Bluffs Golf Resort, 12 miles to Manistee and just an hour to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City wineries.
