The Homestead

Two beautiful bays join to form Sleeping Bear Point, which is located 450 feet above a beach that’s on National Geographic’s list of the 21 Best Beaches in the World. Around the point are 70,000 acres of land and 65 miles of shoreline that make up the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

At the edge of the lakeshore is a town small enough to be charming, yet large enough to house The Homestead, a resort with a mile of frontage on Sleeping Bear Bay and several more on the Crystal River. The resort features two wedding venues, a spa, salon, golf, pools, restaurants, and gracious accommodations.

In this setting, unique weddings are common. They take place in the area chosen by viewers of Good Morning America as the “Most Beautiful Place in America.” And, they are in facilities with the grandeur that belongs on the shore of a great lake that’s inside a national park.
