The 5-br Innkeeper's House features over 3,000 sq ft of space on southwest Michigan's top-rated one-of-a-kind property. Come and stay in the heart of Harbor Country at Goldberry Woods on 30 secluded acres of woods with hiking trails, river and stream, orchards, and organic farm located one mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan. Our sprawling property includes three other houses (8-br Inn and 3-4 br homes/cottages) and a new large 45-ft in-ground heated pool and spa tub for the property (shared with our other 3 houses but tons of room for everyone to spread out).
As you enter through the home's over-sized front door, the open floor plan with 10 ft+ ceilings welcomes you and your group to relax. The house features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths and includes features such as double jacuzzi tub and double shower with steamer in master bath, screen porch, fireplaces, 4-zone HVAC, an open floor plan, and huge outdoor kitchen with large Weber gas grill, flat top grill, double outdoor shower and seating area. Though the house features vintage and unique décor and furniture, we will provide you with classic comfort including luxury linens and immaculate rooms.
Indoor amenities include a fully-stocked kitchen with all the pans and dishes you'll need; a dining room with owner-made rowboat chandelier and seating for 12+ people; a second-floor laundry room; and a family room with gas fireplace and large leather sectional sofa, and a 65" streaming TV, surround system, and whole-house stereo. One smaller bedroom on first floor attached to full bath and 4 more bedrooms on second floor.
Outdoor amenities include seating areas with views of the creek/ravine/woods behind the house; private fire pit with firewood; a 50-amp EV charger outlet; 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 farm fields with chickens; kayaks and canoes to float peacefully down our river; and 20+ more acres of woods with hiking trails to explore (a truly beautiful location!). Only one mile to the soft sand and amazing sunsets on the quiet beach.

Highly recommended in Harbor Country
We stayed at the Inn Keeper's house (5 BR home) on the property. House was clean and well kept. Quiet, pleasant setting amongst trees and gardens. Really fun and interesting décor in the house, with amazing outdoor space. Pool, hot tub, and swing set was a hit with kids, as were the animals on the farm (cats, quail, chicken). Friendly hosts who even brought us lovely flowers grown in their gorgeous gardens. We used resort bikes to get to beach and short rides on quiet roads. Easy access to beach, restaurants, and nearby grocery and convenience stores.

Covid Getaway
We were looking for a change of pace from the city for a few days. This was a great place. Very peaceful and the house was beautiful. We felt very confident they were making it safe for us. Thanks - wish it could have been longer!

Feel at home while on vacation!
After recently returning home from a 4 night stay with 4 other couples/families, we still don't have enough great things to say about our stay! From the beginning warm welcome from the owners to all of the comfortable touches of home, it is a gem that we would revisit in a heartbeat. There is plenty of room all around, both inside the home and on the property, for a multi-family vacation, even with a handful of small children running around. The house is also conveniently located near the beach, New Buffalo, good restaurants, and many wineries.
