Watervale Inn

The Inn at Watervale has remained in the same family since 1917.  Four generations of the Kraft/ Noble family have had the privilege of welcoming guests to our little corner of the world. With our vintage cottages and incredible natural setting that includes a mile of shoreline on both Lake Michigan and Lower Herring Lake, Watervale has provided a gathering spot that is a constant in this ever-changing world. It has been more than one hundred years of traditions, memories, and connections. We look forward to the next one hundred years!
