Spring in Northern Michigan is spectacular! The woods are blanketed with trillium, wild leeks and morel and the lilacs are blooming. Cottages are available to rent the beginning of May until Memorial Day weekend. Weddings are planned for May 31 and June 7. All of Watervale is reserved for those wedding weekends.
Our summer season begins on June 14 and all cottages and suites are rented by the week with shorter stays available in the Inn. Our summer season ends on Labor Day, September 1. We offer daily meal service during the summer season and dinners on select weekends in the spring and fall.
Fall is a great time to visit Benzie County with our amazing colors, giant pumpkins and the Frankfort Film Festival, Frankfort Beer Week and Fall Fest. Weddings are scheduled for September 6 and 13 and again, all of Watervale is reserved for those weekends. The Inn is closed for the season but cottages and suites are available to rent through the end of October.
