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.
WHAT KIND OF RETREAT BELONGS HERE
South Shore is designed for small-group experiences that value connection over complexity.
Ideal for:
- Yoga & wellness retreats
- Creative writing or artist workshops
- Book clubs & women’s gatherings
- Leadership or team offsites
If your retreat is about slowing down, gathering intentionally, and making space for what matters, then you’re in the right place.
