About the host
Hosted by Michigan Family Retreats
Designed and operated by Michigan Family Retreats—a family-run collection of homes specializing in luxury, multi-generational group retreats near Lake Michigan, close to Chicago and Detroit.
Michigan Family Retreats grew out of the experiences of host, Elaine, while coordinating family vacations and countless searches for the perfect place to gather with loved ones. She wanted more than a typical vacation rental—Elaine wanted a warm, beautiful home where multiple generations could relax, connect, and truly feel at ease.
When you stay with Michigan Family Retreats, you’re hosted by a real person who cares about your stay and is available if you need anything. Elaine personally designed each property with care, balancing her background in fine arts and art history with practical insights as a mother, and now grandmother.
Our goal is simple: to create a stress-free retreat where you can focus on what matters most—being together. We hope you have a wonderful stay!
