Map of Watervale

A special hand drawn map of WATERVALE Resort

The cottages and the Inn line the smaller Herring Lake, and a short walk over the Dunes and you are at the big lake, Michigan. This map includes the cottages, the Inn, the Casino, and pathways between. We will be having the Wedding Ceremony (weather permitting) on the Terrace over looking Lake Herring, with the Reception at the Old Casino.

What to BRING with you!

Watervale Weekend

you might be wondering: Northern Michigan in September? 

What do I need to have  with me at these cottages?

What to Bring 

Clothing:

Average temperatures in Michigan in September are typically in the 70's during the day and a chilly 50's in the night . Watervale is surrounded by 2 lakes and includes a tennis court, volley ball, beaches, and beautiful hiking in the woods and to the sand dunes. 

We highly recommend you bring a swimsuit and sweaters/jackets. 

Gear:

Flashlights,  sunscreen, sunglasses, hiking shoes, music (player), snacks/drinks for your cabin (if you like!) Cottages at Watervale do not have irons or hairdryers so if you need 'em, bring 'em!  (We will have SOME extras on hand….)

**Some people are driving, so you may want to also consider: beach towels/chair, cooler, etc. 

Row boats, kayaks and canoes are all for rent to use on Lower Herring Lake and if the sun is shining, we will be taking a group hike to "Baldy" to run down the sand dunes into the lake! 

                                                                          Cottages:

Each cottage and the rooms at the Inn  are charming and  rustic. You will be sharing a bathroom, so Please remember to plan accordingly with your personal items;) We will be providing Dinner Friday and Saturday nights and breakfast is included Saturday and Sunday mornings, but all other meals are on ON YOUR OWN! Please bring snacks, beer/wine, sodas, lunch fixings with you, or prepare to venture into town for your lunch needs! We will provide a full list of places to go for those of you who want to go out for lunches!
