Nestled on five breathtaking acres in northern Michigan, just moments from the shores of Lake Charlevoix, Embers & Ash Farmhouse is more than just a venue—it’s an experience. Whether you’re planning the wedding of your dreams, an unforgettable private event, or a peaceful countryside retreat, our historic farmhouse property offers the perfect setting.
From our beautifully rustic 100-year-old barn to the charming carriage house and stylish cabin accommodations, every corner of the Embers & Ash Farmhouse property is designed to create lasting memories. Our bed and breakfast guests wake up to farm-fresh eggs from our own chicken coop, while our live-fire catering and private dining—curated by celebrity chef Chris Binotto—offer one-of-a-kind culinary experiences.
Beyond hosting celebrations, we invite you to gather around the fire for intimate seasonal dinners, hands-on cooking classes, and the warmth of shared moments. Whether you’re here for a wedding, a weekend getaway, or an evening of incredible food, Embers & Ash is where rustic charm meets elevated hospitality.
We can’t wait to welcome you and help create an experience you’ll never forget.
