GLENN, Mich. (AP) - The Sunset Lodge, with its Lake Michigan beach and even a chapel, is on the market for $1.5 million, more than 100 years after the Episcopal Church in Chicago opened it for single women and girls.
Lynette Colmey and her late husband, Tom, purchased the property in Glenn in Allegan County in 1994. It has attracted families, corporate retreats and even high school football teams. There are enough beds for 45 people.
“We’ve enjoyed sharing it in that way and would love to see it used in the future as a place for people to retreat and refresh,” Colmey told The Grand Rapids Press (https://bit.ly/1JsPyaA ).
The property comes with 252 feet of Lake Michigan beach, 50 miles southwest of Grand Rapids. The lodge opened in 1903 with guests arriving by boat from Chicago.
Real estate agent Nancy Stewart said a buyer would find some “deferred maintenance” projects.
A rustic two-story chapel with pews for 50 people is on the grounds. It has been used for religious services and weddings.
