Great Lakes & North Woods
A secluded private-lake estate surrounded by deep virgin pines
Immerse your guests in raw natural beauty, refined timber craftsmanship, and serene solitude.
Tucked inside Michigan's northern evergreen canopy, this sanctuary centers around a pristine, motor-free private lake. Featuring the Grand Timberline Lodge with vaulted cedar ceilings, hand-hewn beams, and glass walls overlooking the water, alongside cluster cabins nestled among birch and white pine.
Dedicated On-Site Sustainable Farm & Greenhouses
Cold-climate hydroponic glasshouses, heirloom berry orchards, and wild mushroom foraging grounds. Produce harvested at dawn is plated at your dinner reception by twilight, guaranteeing extraordinary freshness and zero carbon miles.
Beyond The Sanctuary Gates
