resources Cali Connection Y

osemite National Park is 2,500 miles away from Northern Michigan, but the majestic Anson home, inspired by the design of Yosemite’s historic Ahwahnee Hotel, makes the western icon feel much closer. The similarities between this summer home on north Lake Charlevoix and the paragon of National Park rustic architecture are clear: prominent stonework and natural materials, exposed rafter tails, low rooflines and a whiff of Craftsman style. Layered with Northern lodge elements, Todd and Terri Anson’s home keeps Yosemite’s big outdoors spirit, yet fits naturally into Charlevoix’s resorter vibe.

MONTHLY SERVICE ARTICLES Northern Home & Cottage is a gorgeous reﬂection of Northern Michigan’s home style. But it is more than just a pretty face. Every home featured comes with a Resource Box which lists the key people and companies who worked on the project.

Cali Connection

A new build on Lake Charlevoix takes careful design cues from a historic California lodge.

TCFF PARTIES Traverse City Film Festival parties have quickly become some of most highly anticipated social events of the year, where one can kick back and rub elbows with some the festival’s biggest names. The Opening Night Party will launch the festival on Tuesday, July 30 from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Front Street. One of the most popular TCFF events,

this stylish downtown celebration includes local libations and hors d’oeuvres. The Filmmaker Party, also located downtown, is on Saturday from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and is one of the week’s liveliest and most star-studded events. Tickets to both parties are available through the TCFF box office. This year, a Sunday night closing celebration at the Open Space has been added, which will be free to the

community. Bring the family and enjoy the last night of the festival. For even more TCFF festivities, get involved! The Founders Party, hosted annually for sponsors at Ciccone Vineyards includes a sneak preview of one of the festival’s best films, and the Volunteer Party, a bay-front gathering with plenty of food, drinks, and dancing, is often described as the most enjoyable event of the entire festival.

Making Music at TCFF

QR CODES $25 per code MATT CARISSIMI

As one of the only film festivals that matches live music acts with individual film screenings, TCFF audiences are fully immersed in the complementary art forms of music and cinema. And with over 200 musical performances throughout the week, TCFF is in many ways as much a music festival as it is a celebration of film.

Top bookings this year include The Bergamot, an Americana band that will be returning to TCFF after winning “Best Unsigned American Band” in the 2012 Bud Light Battle of the Bands. Courtney Kaiser-Stanler, instructor of songwriting at Interlochen Arts Academy will play, along with The Accidentals, a young local duo of harmonic

received from her first TCFF appearance. Other returning favorites include David Chown, Miriam Pico, Ann Peterson, and Ruby John. In addition to live performances before screenings, music can be heard at the Clinch Park Music Stage near the Bijou theater every day from noon to 7 p.m., in the Open Space before outdoor films, and at each of the festival parties. Also be sure to purchase a copy of the TCFF Music CD, or a flash drive that includes all of the tracks from past festivals, both available in the Festival Store.

Some Lump Sum Considerations

It’s our job to offer the most comprehensive independent wealth management advice possible. In light of the recent lump sum pension buyouts, LJPR compiled a detailed White Paper looking into all of the areas that require consideration when making a decision of whether or not to take the lump sum. Below you will find an outline of a few of the major points covered in the paper. For the complete White Paper, Ford lump sum seminar dates in your area, and other valuable resources, visit www.lumpsumanalysis.com or call us at (248) 641-7400.

• Health & Age: The lump sum shifts the investment, mortality, and inflation risks to the retiree. If a retiree’s life expectancy is shorter than the table postulates, the lump sum provides some survivability. For retirees with a desire to leave some form of legacy, the lump sum provides for such. • Gender: Federal law mandates the use of unisex actuarial tables; when in reality men in general, live a shorter time than women. • Taxes, Bush Tax Cuts: The GRP is taxable, whether in a lump sum or a monthly amount. Taking the lump sum changes the income tax ramifications in a variety of ways. The lump sum also has a potential effect on estate taxes. At the end of 2012, the Bush Tax Cuts expire, and this will change both income and estate tax ramifications of the lump sum. • Flexibility: In general, a lump sum provides considerably more cash flow, investment and tax flexibility than the GRP monthly pension. • Roths: In general, a Roth is a tax-free, not subject to RMDs, and may be passed to a spouse and subsequent beneficiaries tax-free. Lump sum rollovers can be converted (wholly or partially) to Roth IRAs.

Independent Advice on Lump Sum Pension Buyouts Leon LaBrecque, JD, CPA, CFP®, CFA passes a colleague in the office kitchen on his way to his next meeting. “Has Ford made any announcements?” he asks. “Still waiting”, answers the intern. “The latest Bloomberg Businessweek is on your desk though” he adds, “you might want to flip through it”. When LaBrecque returns to his desk he finds the magazine open to an article titled U.S. Automakers Cut Retirees Lose. The article outlines the lump sum pension buyouts offered to large groups of salaried retirees by General Motors and Ford Motor Company. In his first free moment, LaBrecque finds himself quoted as the industry expert in the article. By now, he’s used to the recognition him and his firm, LJPR, LLC, have received for their national expert status on lump sum buyout decisions. “It’s not about the individual recognition,” he says, “it’s about spreading the word that completely unbiased advice is available to retirees posed with this significant and difficult decision. That’s what we offer.” Most of the recognition comes from two White Papers, one on GM’s buyout and another on Ford’s. These free papers, referred to cleverly by LaBrecque as “owner’s manuals”, have spread throughout the country as the best independent resource available. LaBrecque’s 23-year history working with auto-industry employees, and advising their retirements, has made LJPR the safe harbor for auto retirees in need of independent advice. LaBrecque and his team have also developed a web site exclusively for analyzing a lump sum option, www.lumpsumanalysis.com. The site is home to a plethora of useful tools including the White Papers, estimators, FAQs and information on how to sit down with LJPR’s experts and look at your own scenario. An hour consultation, which is complimentary at LJPR, gives the retiree the opportunity to look at the big picture of their financial situation in terms of the lump sum. “The comprehensive nature of our firm, with CPAs, CFPs®, estate planning attorneys and other designated professionals, allows the retiree to look at the full range of considerations necessary in their decision”, explains LaBrecque. The White Paper is an extensive look into all of the considerations one needs to take but “it’s just a start”, says LaBrecque, “all retirees considering the lump sum should get a second opinion from an independent expert.” This last point is one that LaBrecque stresses quite a bit, always emphasizing “independent”. As he explains, “Unlike commission-based advisors, we won’t advise someone to take a lump sum if we believe it is not in their best interest. People aren’t used to that, they don’t expect it. That’s what we’re trying to change.”

Michael’s Place MICHAEL’S PLACE 1055 Carriage Hill Drive Suite 4 Traverse City, MI 49686 (231) 947-6453 fax: (231) 947-7114 MPEvents@charter.net mymichaelsplace.net SERVICE AREA Located in Traverse City, Michigan, Michael's Place serves grieving children, teens, adults and families throughout northern Michigan with innovative and compassionate support programs designed to ease the impact of loss. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Mindy Buell BOARD OF DIRECTORS M. Christine Dennos Founder and President Beth Melcher, Treasurer Terry Carrithers Martha “Marti” Johnson Timothy Keenan Susan Kuras

MISSION Michael’s Place offers support and advocacy for grieving children, teens, and families, and raises community awareness on grief issues. BRIEF HISTORY Michael’s Place began in 2001 working with grieving children, teens, and families following the death of a loved one. Michael’s Place welcomes families of all backgrounds. Each week families come together to share stories and experiences and find comfort and strength with others who understand. Michael’s Place services are free to all families and individuals. In addition to our weekly support groups held on Monday evenings, Michael’s Place services include Make A Memory and other healing programs in our Family Support Center, family meetings, educational workshops, schoolbased grief support programs and services, emergency personnel trainings, community trainings, and more. Our new program, Robin’s Nest, helps ease the burden of grief for both the child and the parent. Through planned mentored activities, Robin’s Nest brings the joy back to the grieving child and gives parents the peace of knowing their children are beginning to heal. Robin’s Nest has provided many “best day” events including meeting the Blue Angels and Red Wings, judging a classic car show with Hagerty, swimming and horseback riding at Charity Hill Ranch, and running through the corn maze at Gallagher’s Farm Market. In 2009, Michael’s Place provided over 41,000 hours of direct service to those grieving in our community. GOALS Death does not discriminate, but instead crosses all boundaries. Without appropriate support, statistics show that those who are grieving are more likely to turn to unhealthy behaviors. Without support, an increase is evident in school dropouts, drug and alcohol use and abuse, and depression. The goals of Michael’s Place are to provide healing in a healthy manner for grieving individuals and families and hope for their future.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Volunteers are the key to the success of Michael’s Place and are needed as support group facilitators, mentors, office assistants, board and committee members, and special events aides. Experience is not necessary as Michael’s Place trains all volunteers. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES Give to: 1055 Carriage Hill Drive, Suite 4 Traverse City, MI 49686 (231) 947-6453 P (231) 947-7114 F mymichaelsplace.net As a local organization, all of the financial gifts received by Michael’s Place will directly serve our community. Michael’s Place accepts gifts through check, credit card, stock transfer, and more. Gifts can be given in remembrance or in honor of a loved one and as a sponsorship of a special event, a memorial, or a grant through a foundation or trust. FUNDRAISING EVENTS Michael’s Place hosts a Night at the Movies in May and a Vineyard Party in September. In December, Michael’s Place presents an annual holiday appeal. Private parties are hosted throughout the year to benefit Michael’s Place. BIGGEST NEED IN 2011 As many families are financially burdened following the death of their loved ones, Michael’s Place is committed to remaining a no-cost organization. Gifts of time and money, small or large, are needed in order to continue to provide a quality program to the individuals who seek our assistance. Please help support the many grieving children, teens, and families on their journey of healing!

began attending Michael's Place meetings with my son, Jackson, shortly after 2009 started. We had lost his mother just before Thanksgiving to Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). She was only 44 and Jackson was 7 years old. Though we tried to make the best of the holidays, Lori's death hung over everything. I could tell that Jackson, who usually has a great spirit, was struggling. He couldn't really talk about his mother and he had trouble expressing what he was feeling. I had read about Michael's Place and decided to check it out. At Michael’s Place we found other people just like us who had lost a loved one. By sharing our experiences and talking about our losses, we began to realize that we were not alone in the way we were feeling. Grief is a universal emotion, but it's also mostly a private process. Letting it out helps with the letting go. Jackson met other kids who had lost a parent and was able to talk with some of the great volunteers who connected with him in ways that I was unable to. He started to ask how long it was until Monday -- our Michael's Place night. It was something he looked forward to and I noticed that Jackson started to get his old spunk back after we had been going for a month. I believe that my son made it through that terrible period of his life because of his innate strength and because Michael's Place helped him tap into that strength. Michael's Place is truly a valuable community resource. As you gather with your loved ones, I urge you to hug them tight and not take their presence for granted. I also ask you to consider where you would turn if you lost one of those loved ones. For Jackson and myself, we were lucky that Michael's Place was there for us. It's there for you, too. Please consider donating to this very needed organization. Your financial support is so important to all of us who need it most. – Brian

Mission sTaTeMenT To provide access to affordable health services through community collaboration to people in need. goals Traverse Health Clinic is the local safety net for thousands of lower income adults in our community, a unique organization which offers enrollees access to comprehensive health care services at little or no charge. Without the Traverse Health Clinic, many individuals would simply forgo seeking the care they need. Traverse Health Clinic has grown to meet patient needs. Enrollees are assigned to a primary care provider, either at the onsite Clinic or out of a volunteer provider’s private office. That patient is then provided access, as needed, to: · specialty care · vision care · mental health counseling · dental services · hospital outpatient services · wellness programs · a medication access program. All these programs and services touch the lives of 2,300 people every month, thanks to a large community of support. Brief HisTory The roots of our organization’s efforts date back to the mid 1970’s when a group of physicians and nurses came together to form the Community Health Clinic, which existed as a largely volunteer organization providing free services to people in need for over 25 years. In 2007, the clinic merged with the Grand Traverse Regional Health Care Coalition (GTRHCC), which was a network developed to provide low income uninsured adults access to various providers and hospital outpatient services in the community. This created the Traverse Health Clinic, a private nonprofit 501 (c) (3) which is now able to provide both on-site

care and access to hundreds of volunteer providers in the community. volunTeer opporTuniTies Volunteers are critical to the Traverse Health Clinic’s ability to provide so many people with access to such a variety of services. We always invite additional providers to volunteer either at our on-site clinic which sees 1,000 people a month or out of their private offices. Additional opportunities for volunteerism also always exist for fundraising activities, and we invite you to get involved in a wonderful service organization! giving opporTuniTies The challenging economic environment has impacted many neighbors in our community, making the programs and services offered at the Traverse Health Clinic more important than ever to helping individuals maintain their health and give them opportunities for the future. An urgent need exists in our dental program, in which needs have more than doubled in the past year. Vision services have also doubled, as all our services continue to increase as community health needs skyrocket. Our greatest need is for greater support for our programs as a whole and for these emerging areas where needs are particularly acute. The Traverse Health Clinic depends upon the volunteerism and financial support of the entire community the whole year long. Private donations may be made by phone at (231) 935-0412 or on-line at www.traversehealthclinic.org.

Crooked Tree ArTs CenTer

Ayann Hirsi Ali

Brief hisTory Founded in 1971 by seven area residents looking to gather artists and art enthusiasts with the common goal of providing concerts and exhibit opportunities. In the early 1980s the fledgling organization purchased a former Methodist church in downtown Petoskey. In 2003 a $4 million renovation was completed, and today the architectural gem—along with award winning programs—continues to garner national acclaim. The 2,300 member organization directly serves three northern Michigan counties. Managed by eleven professional staff members, assisted by a broadly-experienced board of directors, supported by annual donations and augmented by 10,000 annual volunteer hours, CTAC operates at full capacity and full throttle throughout the year. The organization excels in its ability to create and offer a wide variety of arts experiences on-site and offsite to 50,000 patrons each year ranging from 4 to 90 years of age.

Gifts in Honor: You can give a donation in memory, honor or tribute of a friend or family member. Program Support: Make a gift to a specific CTAC program such as exhibitions, concerts, programs for youth, or special events. The list is nearly endless. Endowment : For a gift that will keep giving year after year, consider contributing to our permanent endowment. Invested to provide income through interest earned, your gift will allow CTAC to continue working to further our mission well into the future. Planned Giving: While cash contributions are always appreciated, there are other creative and flexible options that can benefit you and CTAC. The term "planned giving" refers to any gift that involves financial or estate planning. Today, planned gifts are more important than ever to CTAC’s stability and future success. Such gifts can provide important benefits both to you and to CTAC.

MY VISION IS FINE Why do I need an eye exam? BY Robert K. Butryn, M.D.

Northern Vision Eye Care delivers state of the art medical, surgical and optical eye care with a passion for excellence, individuality and community service.

Robert K. Butryn, M.D. Board Certified Opthamologist

4033 Eastern Sky Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 (231) 932-9000 www.northernvisioneyecare.com

Your sight is truly a miraculous gift. Did you know your eyes can see into the past? The Andromeda galaxy is 2.8 million light years from earth and can be seen as a fuzzy speck of light below the constellation Cassiopeia. The light you see traveled 2.8 million years to reach your eye; therefore what you are seeing is actually 2.8 million years into the past! Can you see the Andromeda Galaxy? Your eyes are your windows to the world. You go to your annual physical to screen for health problems without warnings like cardiovascular disease or cancer. Your eyes also need routine exams to screen for eye diseases without warnings such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. With people living longer today, preserving your eyesight will enhance your quality of life as you age. Did you know that approximately 19 million adult Americans have diabetes, and diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working age Americans? Diabetic retinopathy can be the first sign of diabetes. Diabetes affects the small blood vessels throughout the entire body, including the eye, and these changes can be identified with a noninvasive eye exam. Several decades of clinical research and the advent of medical lasers and multi-center clinical trials have paved the way for treatment strategies that are 90% effective in preventing severe vision loss. Diabetic eye disease is best treated before you loose vision. With access to the latest technology, such as the Optopmap retinal scanner, fluorescing angiography, OCT laser scanner, digital

photography, and argon lasers, we can optimize our detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Unlike diabetes, glaucoma only affects the eye and has no early symptoms. Nevertheless, glaucoma is the leading cause of legal blindness in the United States. The vision loss is painless and difficult to notice in the early stages. Over 7 million office visits occur annually to monitor patients who are at risk for or who have glaucoma. It is often referred to as the sneak thief of sight, because nearly half of those affected are unaware of their disease. In the past, glaucoma was synonymous with high pressure within the eye. We now have a much better understanding of the complexity of glaucoma and its risk factors. For example, glaucoma can occur with normal eye pressures and high pressures do not always mean glaucoma. Since there is no single test to detect glaucoma, we are diligent in screening and monitoring our patients who are at risk for developing vision loss. Combining eye exams with advanced technology such as retinal scanning lasers, corneal thickness measurements, and blue-yellow visual field analysis allows diagnosis of glaucoma in its earliest stages. This is important, because early diagnosis and treatment preserves sight. We often take for granted just how precious our eyes are. Unfortunately many people equate their eye health to simply needing glasses or seeing clearly and often do not realize that there are silent eye conditions which can result in vision loss if left untreated.

da Vinci® Urologic Surgery The Latest Innovation In Minimally Invasive Surgery - da Vinci ®. BY Bay Area Urology Associates, P.C.

When medication and other non-surgical treatments are unavailable or cannot relieve symptoms, surgery is the recommended treatment for many conditions that affect the male reproductive organs and urinary tract organs. Fortunately, less invasive surgical options are available today to many people facing urologic surgery. Bay Area Urology Associates, through Munson Medical Center, now has available the da Vinci® Si Surgical System, the most advanced robotic surgical technology available today. So, patients in northern Michigan no longer have to travel out of the region for this highly precise and minimally invasive urologic surgery. da Vinci technology allows your surgeon to perform complex procedures through a few tiny incisions, roughly the diameter of a pencil. Your surgeon’s hand movements

are translated into extremely precise movements of tiny instruments placed inside your body. Ideal when the target site is not only tightly confined but also surrounded by delicate nerves affecting urinary control and sexual function. Because incisions are tiny and the procedure is less invasive than open surgery, patients may not have much pain, have fewer complications and may have a shorter hospital stay. As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is unique to each patient and procedure. The da Vinci Si Surgical System is considered safe and effective, but may not be suitable for everyone. da Vinci expands the treatment options available to patients in northern Michigan, and may help you get back to doing what you love.

Vascular Center Of Northern Michigan BY DR. MICHAEL COLBURN, MD

Varicose veins are enlarged, rope-like veins that are dark blue to purple colored and usually larger than 3mm in diameter. They can be deep or superficial. Varicose veins result when the valves located in the veins become weakened and fail to fully shut as the blood is pumped back to the heart. Blood then pools in the veins and the veins begin to sell and bulge. The tendency toward vein problems can be genetic and often runs in families. The most common site of varicose veins is in the legs because the valves in the legs have the toughest job of returning the blood all the way back to the heart. These veins can often cause leg fatigue, aching, itching and an overall decline in energy. If left untreated, they can also result in phlebitis, thrombosis (clots) and skin ulcers developing in the lower leg. In most cases, spider and varicose veins do not serve any usefulness as they have become dysfunctional. The removal of these veins encourages the body to create collateral circulation often resulting in an overall improvement of circulation. At the Vascular Center of Northern

Michigan, Dr. Colburn offers a range of non-surgical, minimally invasive methods to provide long lasting results in the treatment of unsightly and painful spider and varicose veins. Options for treatment may include: Sclerotherapy (injections), Endovenous Ablation (minimally invasive laser treatment), Microphlebectomy (removal of the veins) These convenient, non-surgical, outpatient procedures are performed at our office with minimal scarring and downtime. Many insurance plans will cover varicose vein treatment. After receiving your medical history as well as a family history of venous disorders, a duplex scan is performed at the office. This simple and painless ultrasound test will evaluate the function of your valves and will also measure the amount of reflux (blood pooling). These results allow Dr. Colburn to select the best treatment for your vein condition. To find out more about varicose veins and treatment options, visit our website at vascularcentermi.com.

Dr. Steve Hall, Dr. John Holcombe

Dr. John Holcombe and Dr. Steve Hall are proud to provide high quality dental care to their patients. Established in 1977, the Suttons Bay Dental Center has been providing Leelanau County with conservative esthetic and family dentistry for over 30 years. A dedication to personalized, comprehensive dental care with a special focus on each patient’s comfort helps to define their team’s mission. Now on their second decade of offering computerized CAD CAM dentistry, the office is often described by patients as high tech and cutting edge. Dr Holcombe remarks, “Many of our new patients are retired to the area and often are surprised that our

Leelanau County office is more advanced than their ‘big city’ office back home.” Digital x-rays, one visit CAD CAM designed crowns, and paperless records all contribute to the office’s advances in technologies. Although technology is important, the biggest point of pride for the doctors is the experienced, caring staff. Seeing a familiar face at appointments helps to establish relationships with the patients thus making visits enjoyable and relaxing. The most rewarding part of their day is helping patients change their smiles. Drs. Holcombe and Hall have emphasized this in their practice and are thrilled to see a new smile change

and blue. Dan and Karyn both attended Calvin College in Grand Rapids. They

now reside in Kalamazoo where Karyn is a pharmaceuticals rep and Dan owns two businesses in Grand Rapids.

here’s a hint of romantic destiny in a story Dan and Karyn like to tell. While they both grew up summering at family cottages on Glen Lake, they didn’t meet until the summer after high school—though their great grandparents knew each other well enough to flick their porch lights “good night” to each other from across the lake. Eventually, their grandmothers introduced the two. The rest is a love story that was sealed at The Homestead’s mountain top amphitheater with its drop-away view of Lake Michigan on one side and its Glen Lake panorama on the other. The destination wedding drew nearly 200 of the couple’s family and friends to the Glen Lake area—many of them staying at The Homestead—for a weekend of wine tasting, boutique browsing, golfing, boating and playing on Leelanau County’s gorgeous beaches. “We wanted people to come and see why we love Up North so much,” Karyn says. The ski chairlift whisked the entire wedding party to the top of Bay Mountain for the ceremony. Karyn and her father rode together, and as they skimmed the treetops he turned to her and asked: “Are you ready kiddo?” She was, and walked down the outdoor aisle beaming her cover girl smile. After the ceremony, guests lingered on the hilltop enjoying the breathtaking view while sipping wine from Leelanau County’s Black Star Farms and grazing on hors d’oeuvres. Then it was back down on the chairlifts for the reception at The Homestead’s charming Mountain Flowers Lodge where guests mingled at food stations that included Asian stir fry, carved tenderloin of beef, pasta and salad. Two DJ’s had the dance floor rocking until late into the evening.

Opposite page: Karyn with flower girl Bella Barnett who shared her duties with Ava DeKorne. Field of Flowers Farm in Lake Leelanau provided flowers; the bridal bouquet was created with Fair Bianca and hybrid roses, miniature calla lilies, and hydrangea florets. The bride wore Kate Spade shoes. The engagement ring, by LeMasters Jewelers in Rockford, proved its seaworthiness when Dan swam out with it into Glen Lake to propose to Karyn.

THE HOMESTEAD

Shhh… We’ve quietly created stylish new sites for weddings and receptions. They meld the majesty of Lake Michigan with the beauty of Leelanau. Choose one… flavors will swirl, wines will sparkle and your day, your perfect day, will be made.

accommodations You’ll feel at home in one of our thoughtfully-appointed guest rooms or enjoy the spaciousness of a privately-owned condominium and exclusive setting of a vacation home. Stay in an historic Inn, a rustic retreat inside a modern, hilltop lodge or a romantic getaway nestled in the woods or on top of a lake-facing hillside. Choose a level of luxury that suits your mood and your means. We offer a seasonal range of rates, attractivelypriced packages and no minimum stays.

A ceremony at Bay Mountain

We invite you to visit

Mountain Flowers Lodge

Almost touching the sky, and fresh as the flowers that scent its terraces, Bay Mountain offers panoramic views of majestic Lake Michigan, Glen Lake and the Manitou Passage. Guests of up to 180 can be seated here for a ceremony followed by a cocktail reception on another beautiful terrace. When it’s time to dine and dance, we’ll whisk you and your groom from the peak to the valley below where you’ll find Mountain Flowers Lodge surrounded by country gardens and a sparkling waterfall. This timbered great hall seats up to 180 guests. A bouquet’s throw from the beach, Café Manitou inspires Thoreau-like vows in an intimate, shoreside setting with endless blue views of lake and sky. Outdoor brick terraces welcome up to 50 guests, and an adjoining bistro accommodates the same. Camp Firefly captures the charm of the north woods, inside and out. Celebrate your day with up to 50 guests on a lush lawn, surrounded by friendly forest and wildflowers, or in the rustic Great Hall of an Adirondack-style lodge set beside a waterfall and pond.

a special place where generations of lovers have shared whispered promises, their faces caressed by Lake Michigan breezes, hearts touched by the vision of shimmering islands, souls stirred by watercolor sunsets over Sleeping Bear Bay and the world’s largest moving sand dunes. Here, at The Homestead, you’ll feel waves of emotion wash over you, as you discover the most wonderfully romantic and luxurious setting for your destination wedding. We’ve borrowed nature’s gifts to create three wedding venues with unmatched natural beauty. Each promises a succession of memorable moments you’ll treasure forever. To learn more, we invite you to call us. We will send you information filled with wonderful photos and warm reviews from recent brides. And, we will invite you to come for a visit. When you do, you’ll see that your perfect wedding, like your love, can begin with a look and a touch.
