THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOUR RETREAT

Yoga weekends. Book clubs. Creative writing escapes. Leadership offsites. Or simply a few unhurried days by the lake with your people.

At South Shore, retreats feel simple, grounded, and personal – never overproduced or overwhelming. 

A QUIET LAKEFRONT SETTING, MADE FOR GATHERING

South Shore Resort & Retreats is a historic 1909 lakefront property, purchased in 2024 with the intention of preserving its quiet, nostalgic charm while creating a dedicated space for rest and small-group gatherings.

With a lodge, four cabins and private beach, it offers a rare combination of simplicity and flexibility – just outside the reach of the big city.

  • Yoga & wellness retreats 
  • Creative writing or artist workshops 
  • Book clubs & women’s gatherings
