Culinary Retreats
Foodie alert! If you love to cook or just love to eat, a culinary retreat is a unique way to spend time with your friends or family. Go behind the scenes in the stunning kitchen of The River House and learn to prepare a new dish together. Choose from options that include seasonal or local ingredients grown in Southwest Michigan or The Morris Estate. Your group will have an unforgettable experience of laughter and learning as you navigate the kitchen with one of the culinary professionals from our food and beverage team.
In the evening, gather in the Drawing Room Bar & Lounge for cocktails or wine while our culinary team serves a six-course dinner expertly curated by Executive Chef Thomas Sheridan. Each dish is a work of art that is almost too beautiful to eat. But go ahead…dig in! Rates begin at $850/person. (Varies based on single or double occupancy. Retreats are intended for groups of 6-20)
Women’s Retreats
Gather your best friends for a weekend of creativity at one of our private crafting retreats. From the craft table to the dinner table, enjoy fellowship with your favorite people in a relaxing setting while being treated like royalty. Our staff will see to your every need…let us pour the coffee or fluff the pillows! Packages include lodging, meals, and a craft experience of your choice. Choose from a range of options, including wreath making, floral arranging, or holiday crafting.
Additional activities can be added, such as onsite spa services or Southwest Michigan winery tours along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail. Rates begin at $850/person. (Varies based on single or double occupancy. Retreats are intended for groups of 6-20)
