Ronora Lodge and Retreat Center - Watervliet, MI
Back | Description | Directions | Accommodations
Description:
Ronora Lodge and Retreat Center is located in Michigan. Coming from Chicago, the camp is off 94, just 88 miles after you hit the Illinois border, after St. Joseph and well before (40 miles before) Kalamazoo. The lodge is in South West Michigan about 8 miles from the Lake Michigan. The food includes meat, vegetarian and raw options and I've heard very positive reports about its quality.
Ronora is a series of lodging buildings on beautiful nature preserve that has a lake and wooded trails. The owners have put much love and attention into the building and the land, and we are pleased to offer a workshop in this location.
Watervliet is a nice town with many places to eat, a laundry mat and shops. For residential workshops we will be eating onsite, but the town has a nice variety of food if you feel you need some options.
Directions:
From East, West or South (Illinois,
Wisconsin, Ini): Get to I-94. Take I-94 to the Watervliet/Niles exit 41. Go
North through Watervliet on M-140 to Dwight Boyer Road (about 3 miles). Turn
right. Continue for about 1/2 mile up Dwight Boyer Road to the Ronora Lodge and
Retreat Center entrance, marked with a large sign on your left.
From the North (Most of Michigan): Take I-196 to M-140 exit 18. Take M-140 south to Dwight Boyer Road (about 12 miles). Turn left. Continue for about 1/2 mile up Dwight Boyer Road to the Ronora Lodge and Retreat Center entrance, marked with a large sign on your left. See Grounds Map to get to your building(s).
Accommodations:
Because Camp Ronora workshops are residential, we will be staying on site. If however you have specific needs, ask and we will see if you can be accommodated.
For most workshops, we are in the Ranch Lodge, click to view. The accommodations are comfortable, bunk style, with showers in each room. Each room opens to the outdoors. The building is heated we could acquire air conditioning but they will charge a fee. They report that this generally isn't needed because of cooling effects from Lake Michigan. The main room has a kitchen with fridge and stove. For handicap access there is a small step to the deck that leads into the room. This may make it difficult for wheel chair access, but I believe someone with a cane would feel comfortable. You can park in front of this building.
