About this property
8+ Bedroom House 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, SW Michigan's #1 rated property! 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 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).
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 overlooks the woods and creek and is located about 100 yards from the main inn. See Vrbo Listing #421134 for details.
The River’s Edge House 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.
The Deerpath Cottage features 1,600 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths (sleeps 6) and is set up very similarly to Creekside Cottage. See Vrbo Listing #4058338 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 (not on Vrbo). These are located approximately 200 yards from the inn.
You can also rent the Entire Estate for your group stay. See Vrbo Listing #4217522 for details and please contact us directly too to discuss further (or if you would like an event with the inn, cottage, etc), as Vrbo is not set up for this. Combined, our 7 buildings/units include over 15,000 sq ft, 20 bedrooms, 20 full baths, 6 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 up to 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!
Goldberry Woods can also add on private experiences for your stay, including yoga, marma massage, ayurvedic wellness, foraging tours, farm tours, cooking classes/dinners, and sandcastle building at the beach. Please inquire for pricing/availability.
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).

About the host
Hosted by Julie and Eric Haberichter

Julie and Eric are looking forward to welcoming you to Goldberry Woods. We are college sweethearts who both became engineers. We honeymooned at a B&B in Hawaii which was a working flower farm. After that experience, we have continued to stay at bed & breakfasts whenever we get the chance. We also vowed that someday we would become innkeepers ourselves.
The Haberichters lived in the busy Chicago suburbs but began spending every possible moment vacationing in Harbor Country. On a family vacation in 2011, we stumbled across the old River’s Edge B&B in Union Pier. The property was close to the beach with beautiful woods and enough pasture to create a biodiverse farm with organic practices. It included two cottages and an Innkeeper’s House so that our young family would have a bit of private space.
We are so in love with Harbor Country, and we are just dying to share it with you! We are also quite proud that Goldberry Woods has become the top-rated inn in all of SW Michigan!

Why they chose this property
Goldberry Woods Cottage is located just one mile from Lake Michigan; however, our 30 secluded acres offer a bit of quiet amongst the bustle of Harbor Country's busy summers. An entire day can be spent just on our property, kayaking or canoeing in the Galien River or hiking our trails. Explore our organic farm, which grows a little bit of everything that Michigan has to offer. Fall and Winter are also a great time to visit!
What makes this property unique
Secluded, private, quite property with heated pool/spa tub, orchard, organic farm, and woods literally right out your door. Everything you should need is available (and included in price). Property includes 30 aces to explore with hiking trails, heated pool, barn pool house, and so much more. This is a Select Registry property and is the #1 rated property in SW Michigan.
Very close to fantastic restaurants, wineries, microbrews, an organic distillery, botanical gardens, art studios, antique shops, a large casino, outlet shopping, golf, and of course the beaches and dunes along Lake Michigan.
