From the reviews

Review for TheAnchor We had an amazing weekend at The Anchor. We had a group of about 16 aunts, sisters and cousins and the space was perfect for our group. There was ample seating for meals, plenty of clean, comfortable beds, many with their own en suite bathrooms.

What a wonderful venue for groups! Our group of 8 had our own rooms/beds/ bathrooms and there was still room for more! The house is lovely, the lake view is spectacular and the yard /patio is welcoming. There were many walkable things to see and do. Anything you need is here. Amazing!!

★★★★★ — Mac, May 2026

Lovely house. Such gorgeous decor; simply charming. Lots of bathrooms, comfy seating, unforgettable art. There are so many places to sit and chat, eat, enjoy a beverage. View of Lake Michigan the absolute best. Great walks. My friends and I had a wonderful time and plan to return next year.

★★★★★ — Donna, May 2026

My experience was WONDERFUL! The house is exquisite and decorated so beautifully! The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The house has every amenity that you will need. It is immaculate and has plenty of cleaning utensils if you need them. The theater and hot tub are fun as well as the kayaks!

Getting married at Anchor House

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
