Experience Goldberry Woods, SW Michigan's #1 rated property! A Select Registry property featured in Midwest Living, Conde Nast Traveler, Chicago Magazine, Chicago/Metro Parent Magazine, and more. Come and stay in the heart of Harbor Country on 30 secluded acres of woods with organic farm, hiking trails, river and stream, and orchards less than one mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan! The property features a heated pool and hot tub (enclosed in Fall for Winter swimming, and 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.
The newly appointed Creekside Cottage at Goldberry Woods is located in a quiet and secluded location surrounded by nature and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, large screened porch, a full kitchen, laundry room, and more! Please see our goldberrywoods site for more details. We try and update VRBO/HomeAway as much as we can, but our site is always up to date and most accurate. Thanks!
The Master Suite includes a Queen bed and master bath with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The second bedroom includes a Queen bed and the third bedroom has two twin beds. The family room features a wood-burning fireplace, new leather sectional sofa, and large streaming TV with Blue-ray DVD player and Satellite. The kitchen is stocked with cookware and dishes and features stainless steel appliances, a dinette that seats six, and a breakfast bar with additional seating. A gas Weber grill, fire pit with free firewood, and high-speed WiFi is included.
Cottage stays also include full use of our kayaks and canoes that you can use to float peacefully along on the quiet and scenic Galien river that borders our estate. Guests 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 is close to the cottage and includes swings, climbing walls, monkey bars, a slide, and multiple level decks. There is also a large aviary featuring our chickens, ducks, and quail (for all of our farm-fresh eggs). We also have seasonal yard games to play including bags, badminton, bocce, and horseshoes. Breakfast at the inn can also potentially be added to your stay, if available ($20/person). Well-behaved dogs may stay too ($20/day per pet). We also have a Market Stand on property open May - Oct which features our organic produce, flower bouquets, vintage goods, Goldberry merchandise, and more!
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.
Our 8 bedroom, 9 bath inn (sleeps 16-24) is also available on-property for your larger group retreat/reunion/holiday rental--please call for details or visit our listing at Vrbo Listing #644633. Our Barn Venue is also available for rental for groups including yoga/wellness, corporate retreats, family reunions, or weddings and elopements.
We also have our River's Edge 4-br, 4 bath cottage (sleeps 8-12) --please call or see our goldberrywoods site for details. Vrbo # 735645.
Also, we feature two vintage Avion campers, located further back on the property at the edge of our woods and underneath our magnificent tall pine trees. Both have been updated for modern glamping and each sleeps 2. See our goldberrywoods site for info and availability.

About the host
Hosted by Julie and Eric Haberichter

Julie and Eric Haberichter 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.
Julie spent eight years working in processed food plants. Soon after the birth of our first daughter, Julie decided to stay home and has spent ten years raising our three lovely girls. With Eric’s support, she began to build a home around the idea that homemade was best made. Inherited and found items became integrated into the family’s décor. A family garden supplied the basis of our from-scratch meals. She decided that she no longer wanted to return to a career in processed foods but that she was ready to share her hospitality and love of food with guests.
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 bio-diverse micro farm. It included two summer 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!

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 orchard, microfarm, and woods literally right out your door. Views of ravine and creek in back. Cottage offers wood-burning fireplace, jacuzzi bath, full kitchen with breakfast bar, laundry room, large TV with Blu-ray/DVD player, and large children's play structure. Can also add breakfasts in inn for additional charge, depending on availability.
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!
We also off our Goldberry Woods inn as a vacation rental (full use of inn and kitchen, but no breakfasts) for your larger group (sleeps 16-24+ people). Call for details!
