      Stunning Estate on 30 Acres With Pool, Kayaking, Woods/Trails, Farm, Near Beach!

      10% Discount for weekly rentals. - Heated Pool Enclosed in winter -

      Welcome to Goldberry Woods. Look no further for your family reunion or company retreat as there are simply more amenities and options 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 walking to nearby Lake Michigan beach (bicycles provided), playing bags or badminton/volleyball, sitting by campfire, or relaxing 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 we are the perfect spot for your family reunion, holiday, or corporate retreat. The inn sleeps 16-24 or add a cottage or vintage camper to accommodate 2-25 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.

      The inn is normally ran 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. Start planning your 2024/2025 getaway.

      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 and shower, gas fireplace, large streaming tv with Blu-Ray player and Satellite channels, WiFi, and a hand-crafted queen or king 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.

      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).

      We also have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath Creekside Cottage (sleeps 6-8, 1300 sq ft) for rent as well. It includes a full kitchen, dining area, laundry room, large screened porch, jacuzzi tub in master bath, living room with leather sectional sofa and wood-burning fireplace with stone hearth, streaming TV with DVD, Weber gas BBQ, and fire pit. It is located about 100 yards from the main inn. See VRBO Listing #421134 for details.

      Our River’s Edge Cottage includes 2,900 sq ft with 4 bedrooms (sleeps 8-12+, including a bunk room), 4 full baths, river views from most rooms, full kitchen with breakfast bar and separate dining room, large screened porch, laundry room, living room with large leather sectional, gas fireplace, WiFi, and large streaming TV with cable/Blu-ray DVD player. There is also a Weber gas grill, fire pit, firewood, and outdoor seating. Full access to Goldberry Woods main property is included and the pet-friendly cottage is located 75 yards from the main inn. See VRBO Listing #735645 for details.

      Lastly, we also have two vintage campers available (each sleeps 2). Tucked at the edge of our woods under the majestic old pine trees, they feature all of the amenities you would want in a glamping experience. Please see our goldberrywoods site for more info. These are located approximately 200 yards from the inn.

      Combined, our 5 buildings/units include over 11,000 sq ft, 17 bedrooms, 17 full baths, 5 kitchens/fire pits/BBQ's, tons of fireplaces, and can sleep 20-50 people. Please consider Goldberry Woods for your reunions, weddings, corporate/church/yoga retreats, or holiday getaways. Our new Barn can also accommodate groups of 50-75 people for events as well. The Barn overlooks the heated pool, farm, and woods--and is a beautiful space for your large group to gather.

      There are tons of activities in the immediate area, including exploring the beaches and dunes (our amazing, quiet local beach is a mile away, Warren Dune state park is 10 minutes, and Indiana Dunes National Park is just 20 minutes away), antique/vintage shops, art galleries, lots of great small towns to explore, bakeries, children’s museums, botanical gardens, horseback riding, fishing/boating, zoo, golf, fun park with go-carts and mini-golf, casino, movies, microbrews, wineries, organic distillery, and tons of fantastic restaurants!

      Please call or visit our Goldberrywoods site for more details! Discounts for week-long stays. We also strongly encourage Trip Insurance, as it protects both of us and is easy and affordable (such as TravelGuard by AIG, for example).

      70th birthday getaway
      Our family rented the property to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. It was everything we needed, wanted and more. The home was well thought out and equipped for 8 couples to comfortably enjoy a weekend together. Plenty of space to gather and yet have space to ourselves. The grounds are beautiful and the hosts responsive and friendly. Thank you for making my mom's birthday weekend so enjoyable!

      Wonderful vacation for big family
      We rented the entire inn plus a cabin for 17 adults and two children. It was perfect in every way. Everyone was able to find something fun to do: pool, hot tub, bicycling, canoeing, kayaking, going to the beach, feeding the chickens. The beds are wonderfully comfortable (new mattresses) and each couple had their own bathroom. Very comfortable for all. We loved it and will be back.

      Dad’s 90th Birthday Celebration
      Our Dad has been widowed since 2005 and is ultimately doing great. He had been independent in his living environment up until the pandemic! His life came to a screeching halt once the pandemic shut us down he has become more frail physically. Mentally he is sharp as a tack. with one main health scare over this period the family decided to have a momentous birthday celebration! Goldberry Woods was the perfect place for everyone in the family to enjoy family time together!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful Inn for us to enjoy our celebration!

      Family Christmas Celebration
      This is a very unique inn, and we took advantage of all it has to offer. The inn itself is beautiful with unique bedroom suites and generously appointed kitchen. (Most of the time this is a B&B, and we imagine they prepare impressive morning meals. The beverage glasses are awesome!) We prepared all our own meals and took advantage of the Whistle Stop and Barneys for provisions. All eleven of us ate at one of the trestle tables, and then moved over to the other for reading, games and cards. The property is fun and educational. We hiked the woods, admired the fruit trees and bee hive, and loved feeding the chickens! Our grandkids will always remember collecting the chicken and duck eggs which was a very new experience for them. Eric and Julie gave just the right amount of information so that the kids had to figure out how to get the eggs out of the coop! We made delicious quiches with the eggs. As if that is not enough, we also had an easy-to-use hot tub, and fun games (air hockey and ping pong) at our disposal. Our family had a wonderful 3 days at Goldberry Woods and will surely make it a tradition to gather there. We were just the right distance from Lake Michigan and enjoyed its winter glory with a walk at the New Buffalo city park. Eric and Julie were perfect hosts--they let us have the run of the place but were nearby if we had questions or requests. Thank you, Craig and Marsha Lesley

      Fantastic Property
      My friends and I stayed for 4 nights recently. The property was fantastic and was great for accommodating our large group (~24 adults + a few kids). Eric and Julie were also very kind and willing to help with any questions. We would highly recommend and would love to be repeat customers.
