A blend of Old World European and Indian cultures creates a memorable atmosphere. The entry foyer, tavern, game and dining rooms are all filled with an intriguing collection of nature and hand carved furniture -- whimsical creations made of tree stumps, twisted limbs and roots, driftwood sculptures and massive fieldstone fireplaces.

Boy this brings back memories. My hubby was a friend of the owner's brother and we used to take the kids up there when they were young. It's a really cool place. I have many photos of my kids on the beautiful beaches there at Cross Village .
Each year we went we noticed that the shores were eroded quite a bit. I wonder how much beach is left where the cabins are.
Thanks for the memories!
Living in the middle of endless flat fields of corn and beans, I'm always drawn to large bodies of water. Lake Michigan is the closest "fix" for me:)
I've never heard of Cross Village, and that's a shame because it seems like such an interesting place, somewhat like the MI. version of Fantasy Island [G]
Joey, last year, J and I decided to quit working weekends, and spend our new found freedom exploring MI. And boy, have we stumbled upon some picturesque little towns along the way.
It's no surprise I love your collages, which, btw, make a heck of an endorsement, so now, I'll have to check out this magical little village.
Hi Cindy ... yes it's a great place and if indeed you do carve that tree stump, please take lots of photos ;)
Marysol ... where have you been all these years dear bloggin' friend? (What part of 'The Mitten' are you from?) Seriously, it is indeed a magical spot ... great sunsets over Lake Michigan!
I'm loving this Michigan series of post. I started on Oct 10th and I'm still here Oct11;)
I want to come back and see it all again. I think it should be compiled in a book. There is something about holding a book that makes it a treasure in your home.
