Conference Center

Sometimes people need to step away from the busy routine of life. You can create an opportunity for your church, non-profit, or business to have fun and spend purposeful time with one another.

Whether you’re looking for personal, spiritual, or professional growth, leadership development, or intentional team building, a retreat at The Shack can help meet your goals.

Conference Center, Meetings, & Event Facilities

We would like to make planning your next Michigan meeting, reunion, conference, or other event as pleasant as we can.  We offer three large conference and banquet rooms, in addition to large great rooms and fireplace rooms for a more intimate setting. There are also a number of cozy sitting areas around our various buildings including outdoor gazebos, pavilion, large and small arbors, and more. We have some of the best front porches in Michigan!

We can create a unique combination of rooms and views to keep your meetings and conferences, marriage or church retreats, and other events enjoyable as well as productive. The Shack provides a continuum of programming options to help you meet your goals.

This place is amazing. From when you enter the grounds until you leave, it is just amazing. Great place to spend time and enjoy the company of friends and family in this very beautiful atmosphere inside and out. The rooms, food, service, are all excellent and the prices are great as well. I would also recommend The Shack as a great venue for your business, church offsite meeting, outing, or team events.” - Brian B.
