When the grandparents come along on a trip, they're not the ones chasing anybody around or worrying about the schedule. They've done all that already. They just sort of park themselves somewhere and let the grandkids come to them - and the kids always do. Every time.

There's something about watching your own parent be a grandparent. Slower than you remember. More patient than they ever were with you, which is honestly a little annoying and also kind of nice.

To all the grandparents out there - happy belated Grandparents Day. You've earned the good chair.

Something changes when the meeting ends and nobody has to drive home.

Someone starts a fire. A few people stay behind with a drink. And suddenly the conversation everyone was trying to have all afternoon happens without an agenda.

In fall, teams can take over all nine Dollybrook cabins and have the property to themselves.

If you're planning a fall or winter retreat, send us a message. We'll help you think it through.

Fall kind of sneaks in through Crane's.

It's a family orchard out in Fennville, been run by the same folks for generations. You go to grab a bag of apples, and next thing you know it's two hours later, you've got cider, and you're arguing about whether to get one pie or two. (Get two.)

It's five minutes down the road from us. When Crane's opens up for the season, that's usually when you know the good months are here.

This is the last weekend that still counts as summer.

Kids stay out too late, the fire burns down slower than usual, and there's that quiet thing in the back of your head - back to school, back to alarms, back to ...all of it.

Summer's basically done. It's fine.🙂

There's a boat hanging from the ceiling in this one, and we've stopped explaining it. 🙂

Guests walk in, stop, look up, and then spend a minute working out how it's attached. Kids are convinced it's going to come down. It isn't, but the theory improves the stay considerably.

Years later, they may not remember which cabin they stayed in. But they’ll probably remember the one with the boat on the ceiling.

Michigan blueberry season is happening right now, and Pleasant Hill is seven minutes from your cabin.

It's a family-run farm in Fennville with u-pick rows and pre-picked baskets if you'd rather skip the labor. Kids take to it immediately, mostly because the rules are simple and about a third of what they pick never makes it into the bucket.

Go in the morning before it gets hot, then bring them back and figure out what to do with four pounds of blueberries. Pancakes, usually. Sometimes just a bowl and a spoon.

Here's a thing that surprises people: fall might be the better season here.

Summer books out months in advance and the property is full. September and October are quieter, the light gets long and gold, and the woods do something in October that photos never quite manage. Cooler evenings mean the fire pit stops being optional and starts being the whole point.

There's still good availability through the fall, including weekends. If summer got away from you this year, this is the version we'd honestly recommend anyway.

There's a shift that happens in August, and every parent feels it before the kids do.

The store displays change. Somebody mentions supply lists. And suddenly you're counting the weekends instead of just having them, doing quiet math on how many are left before everything goes back to schedules and alarms.

The kids haven't noticed yet. They're still out there until dark, still asking for ten more minutes, still convinced this goes on forever. Let them think it a little longer.

We put in two pickleball courts, and they've become the easiest way to get everyone outside at the same time.

It's rare to find something a grandparent and a ten-year-old can play together without one of them carrying the other. Ten minutes to learn, and after that it's mostly laughing and a lot of "okay, one more."

Evenings are best. The heat lets up, and what starts as two people hitting a ball turns into a line of people waiting for a turn.
