When we lose our connection with nature, our lives are out of balance. It’s easy to talk about self-care but prioritizing it is another story. A wellness getaway at Goldberry Woods looks like a slow morning, a farm breakfast, and a bike ride down tree lined backroads. We’re a farm bed and breakfast in Union Pier, tucked into the woods near Lake Michigan, and we live our days in sync with the land we love.
Stay in the Inn, a cottage, or a vintage camper, then spend the day paddling the Galien River, joining a yoga class, or floating in the pool. Whether you’re traveling solo or leading a group, Goldberry Woods is designed for a wellness retreat in Michigan. Our wellness retreat ideas post can help inspire you to plan a wellness getaway near Chicago. Just 90 minutes from Chicago, Goldberry Woods is an easy wellness getaway near the city.
Where You’ll Stay in Union Pier
Choose the eight-bedroom Inn, one of our three cottages, or a vintage camper, all on our 30-acre farm in Union Pier. Evenings end around the fire pits or in the hot tub, and mornings begin with farm fresh eggs. Wherever you choose to stay at Goldberry woods, you’ll wake up to nature at your doorstep.
