The Sundowner

Welcome to The Sundowner, Northern Lake Michigan's Premier Invitation-Only All-Inclusive Resort! Owned, operated, and custom-designed by the Shirkey family, this beach-front property has stunning views of Lake Michigan with gorgeous sunsets over the water, more activities than you could possibly fit into a weekend, and amazing dining experiences that will make you forget all about that last great restaurant meal you thought you had.

Highlights of your stay will include:

Hammock time

Frisbee on the beach (merged photo taken with the ActionShot app on my phone)

Kayaking

Sunbathing

Hand-cranking your own ice cream

Pie

and delicious meals! (vegetarians, gluten-intolerants, and bacon-lovers all welcomed and accommodated!)

BFF not included, unless you retrieve her from the airport on your way up. Her flight gets in at 9pm. Hope you don't mind driving 5 more hours! (She's worth it!)

In short, a super fun way to spend a weekend, and I didn't even get to mention the board games, the hot tub, the welcoming accommodations, the blueberry banana pancakes, searching for beach glass and Petoskey stones, or the trip into town to Tom's! And that was just in this 36-hour stay! Stay longer to enjoy the nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes, Manitou islands, wine tours, etc. But really, why would you leave the Sundowner when you can spend the afternoon doing this?
