Come experience the 4-bedroom, 4-bath mid-century River's Edge House at Goldberry Woods, SW Michigan's #1 rated property! A Select Registry property featured in Midwest Living, Conde Nast Traveler, Washington Post, Chicago Magazine, Chicago/Metro Parent Magazine, and more. Stay in the heart of Harbor Country on 30 secluded acres of woods with hiking trails, kayaking on the river, orchards, organic farm, and prairie less than one mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan! Please see our goldberrywoods site for more details/pricing. Available for your friends/family getaway, holiday, reunion, or corporate retreat! We added a new pool and hot tub for the property (shared with our other cottage and inn --but lots of room for everyone). We also have a new barn venue that overlooks the pool--great for groups/weddings/reunions or rent for your private pool house. Pets welcome.

-- Enclosed heated pool and hot tub for winter/spring swimming! --

Beautiful property with views of the Galien River directly out the back (house sits on bluff over the river). Enjoy views of the woods and river from most rooms in the cottage and screened porch.

Included in the stay is access to our adjacent 28 secluded acres with hiking trails through woods, river and stream, orchards, pool, hot tub, and organic farm, less than one mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan! Goldberry Woods property features free use of kayaks and canoes that you can use to float peacefully along on the Galien river that borders our estate or you may also borrow our bikes to ride to the beach or explore the local towns and back roads. You are also welcome to explore the fields of our organic farm and orchard. Our large playground structure includes swings, climbing walls, monkey bars, and multiple level decks.
