Alderwood Crossing is where life's greatest moments happen, from weddings and celebrations to glamping getaways, family retreats, and unforgettable stays in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Plan an intimate family escape, book a glamping cottage under the stars, or gather everyone you love under one roof. The possibilities are endless here.
Weddings & Events
The heart of Alderwood Crossing is the Alderwood Chapel, a striking black event building with soaring ceilings, exposed trusses, and walls of windows pouring in natural light. Grand barn doors are coming soon to the entrance, making the first step inside just as memorable as the celebration itself. Built to hold over 225 guests, it's a blank canvas ready for whatever you envision, elegant and refined, rustic and warm, or something entirely your own.
And the Chapel is just the beginning. With a horseshoe-shaped pond as a breathtaking backdrop and wide-open space for gatherings, Alderwood Crossing is the perfect setting for weddings, reunions, and milestone events beyond the ceremony itself.
The property also includes the 3,000 sq. ft. Lodge, along with a covered patio and wide-open grounds for tents, dance floors, and additional rentals. Your event can be as intimate or expansive as you choose. You're welcome to use everything Alderwood Crossing has to offer, or bring in whatever else fits your vision.
And when the celebration winds down, Alderwood Crossing gives you a place not just to host your event, but to linger and make memories with the people who matter most.
When Alderwood Crossing isn't hosting weddings or events, it transforms into the ultimate destination for retreats, family vacations, and unforgettable getaways. The Lodge sleeps 14 comfortably with three bedrooms, two private queen rooms with TVs, plus a large bunk room that's perfect for groups and kids. Inside, you'll also find a theater-style living space, gaming area, fully stocked kitchen and bar, and bathrooms with double stalls and showers.
Looking for something more intimate? Book one of our five glamping cottages, Orion, Cassiopeia, Cygnus, Ursa, and Polaris, for a getaway that's just for you, no event required. Or find Alderwood Crossing on Airbnb and VRBO for flexible weekend stays in the Lodge.
Evenings here mean gathering around the fire pit. The horseshoe-shaped pond offers catch-and-release fishing and plenty of room to relax by the water. For adventure seekers, ATVs and snowmobiles can head straight from Alderwood Crossing to nearby trails.
All of this is just minutes from some of the Upper Peninsula's best attractions: less than 3 miles from the Island Resort & Casino and Sweet Grass Golf Course, about 7 miles from Sage Run, and only 15 miles from downtown Escanaba. And if you're up for a day trip, Pictured Rocks in Munising is about an hour away.
Whether it's a weekend escape, a golf trip, a glamping weekend under the stars, or a family retreat, Alderwood Crossing is where rest, adventure, and togetherness meet.
