100% Perfect

The Old Dam Inn was absolutely perfect! A group of 10 of us stayed here for a friend's wedding at Camp Newaygo, and it couldn't have gone better. The inn had more than enough space and the hosts have thought of everything. We couldn't get over how perfect the kitchen was for a big group! The garage was also the perfect place to watch the football game while shooting some pool. 5/5!

Perfect place to Retreat

Even better than the pictures! It is such a beautiful property and the themed rooms were such a fun touch. The owners were so friendly, helpful, and responsive. We were staying in the area for a retreat and we couldn’t have picked a better location if we tried. The owners have thought of everything for their guests. Everything was labeled clearly and easy to find, we had plenty of wood for daily campfires, and enough space for all 24 of us. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the outdoors (boats, volleyball, griddle, walks) the most but the garage was a favorite hang out spot after dark. Thanks again!

Stay with extended family of all ages

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with family ranging from 4 months to 80 years old. Everything at the Inn was as described online. House and property were clean and well kept. Everyone loved the garage space with all the fun games. This property is well-stocked with everything you need. Owners were quick to arrive with extra bedding when needed and they were very responsive the entire time. Pretty hard to beat this place.

Loved it

My friends and I rented this property for a long-weekend reunion and we were so happy that we chose the Old Dam Inn. There was plenty to keep our group occupied, from the pool/foosball/poker tables to the numerous lawn games to the kayaks and paddle boats. We appreciated the thoughtful and charming decor, and several people expressed how happy they were that we rented here. Thanks for the great stay!

Amazing lakeside property for large groups

Kurt and Heather's property is a gem. My extended family has been searching for a property to host annual family reunions for a few years now. After staying at the Old Dam Inn this summer, our search is over. The property was better than we expected. The pictures really don't do it justice. Each room is quirky and themed. Kurt and Heather outdid themselves with how well they executed each theme. The property was also remarkably clean and well-prepared for our visit. The hosts went above and beyond, turning on the property's lights and playing soft music for our arrival. Everyone in our group was thrilled with their hospitality. Part of me regrets giving this review because I selfishly don't want others to discover this gem, but oh well...

We had a group of 18, all in our 40’s and 50’s. We had planned on floating the river but it rained the entire time and thank god we chose this place because there was more than enough things to do and space to spread out. The place has everything you can think of and it’s a cozy and very clean place to stay!

Memorial Weekend GetAway

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. We played plenty of board games, enjoyed the firepit and grills, played frisbee, used their rowboats/kayaks and explored the lake, went hiking in Muskegon state park, and ate plenty of food! It easily fit me and my 14 friends. We had plenty space in the kitchen, and the two dishwashers made cooking and cleanup super easy for a large group. Our hosts met us at the beginning, and even personally came to give us more papertowel when we ran out. We also appreciated how everything is labeled and there were so many cute, small touches! We would happily stay here again.

Birthday Celebration!

What an amazing Inn to stay at! There was 20 of us celebrating by brother and another close friend's 30th Birthdays, not to mention 5 others had Birthdays during September as well. It rained all weekend, which was upsetting that we couldn't take the boats out, but we were so thankful to have the garage game room to keep us entertained! I would suggest bringing a heat or two since the garage isn't heated though. Other than that, I have no complaints! The large kitchen was a must with all of us and we all had a bed/futon to sleep on. I would love to all go back next year, with hopefully nicer weather. Thanks for having us! :)

Perfect wedding setting

We had a small family wedding at the Old Dam Inn and it couldn’t have been a more perfect spot. The house is so charming, with unique touches throughout. We had everything we needed and great communication and cooperation from the hosts. This place is special, truly couldn’t have imagined a more picturesque wedding spot. Thank you Heather and Kurt for this little slice of heaven!

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Innkeepers - Kurt and Heather Giberson

Your Innkeepers are Kurt and Heather Giberson, originally from Dearborn, Michigan and now living in beautiful Brooks Township in Newaygo County. Kurt is a retired public works director and Heather is a retired public schools teacher. We live in our former cottage, just down the street from the Old Dam Inn. We are enjoying the rural experience, which includes raising our friendly chickens.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

We've owned woods and water property in western Michigan since the early 1990's and every time we were driving back home to southeastern Michigan we took a different route to explore new opportunities. After years of doing this we came across a very hilly area in Brooks Township, Newaygo County, that was heavily forested and had many beautiful lakes.

We learned that it had been a white pine logging area over one hundred years ago and it also was famous for the cottages surrounding the lakes. This spot came to be known as 'Little Switzerland' due to the beautiful waters and steep sloped terrain. One day as we were heading home we noticed a for sale sign on Old Dam Road and stopped to look at a small cottage on the Penoyer Creek Channel. The creek was named after the Penoyer brothers from Chicago, who were the first non-natives to settle here (1830's). To us it seemed perfect with the waterfront views and wooded setting. We quickly arranged to purchase the property and over the years we acquired three more parcels on the Channel, including The Old Dam Inn.

While there are many cottages and homes very nearby, where we are just about all you can see are the woods and the water, which is just fine with us. The towering white and red pines on the property are very special for us.

We spent four years renovating the The Old Dam Inn to provide our guests with quality furnishings and a flavor of the local history. The Inn is the former residence of the well-known local aviator, photographer, journalist and outdoorsman, Dick Black. In the 1960's and 1970's, he was a partner of Mort Neff, who hosted the popular 'Michigan Outdoors' television program in Detroit for many, many years. A few years ago we learned from Mr. Black's granddaughter that he was a personal friend of the writer Ernest Hemingway and that he had also saved Hemingway's life one time. The Inn's rooms feature aviation, fishing and hunting themes that are based on real local history.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The Old Dam Inn is perfect for family gatherings, reunions, anniversaries, small business retreats and hunting/fishing groups (we do not host weddings, or bachelor/bachelorette/graduation/sorority/fraternity parties). With eight private bedrooms and five bathrooms (three in private suites) you can very comfortably and privately accommodate 20-25 overnight guests. We offer complimentary high-speed wireless internet access throughout the Inn and its grounds, as well as DVD movies. There are seven flat screen televisions.

You can bring your own boat or use our two paddleboats, rowboat and two-person kayak to reach four inter-connected and unique lakes (Emerald, Sylvan, Pickerel and Kimball). Enjoy these clean and clear lakes for water-skiing, fishing, swimming or just for the beautiful views. You can also kayak down the picturesque Penoyer Creek to the Old Dam. If you like the woods, you will like our setting. From the Camp Newaygo Wetland Trail only a 1/4 mile away by foot, to the vast North Country Trail a couple of miles away, there are many opportunities to hike. If you like quaint towns, you will enjoy the arts and outdoor themes of nearby Fremont (Baby Food Capital of the World - Gerber Baby Food Company) and Newaygo, which straddles the Mighty Muskegon River and offers some of the finest salmon and trout fishing in the U.S. Check out the giant concrete fish heads poking out of the ground in Newaygo's Riverside Park

There are also thousands of acres of the Manistee National Forest within minutes of the Old Dam Inn. From our property we regularly see Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons and Pileated Woodpeckers (one was banging away on our front porch this morning!). Other regular visitors include an abundance of White-tailed Deer, as well as the River Otters, Beaver, Mink, Muskrats, Opossum and Raccoons. On occasion we see coyotes and bobcats too.
