About Us

A corner of northern Michigan that feels like yours

Homestead Resort sits on 2399 Dam Road in the heart of Benzonia, a village where the rhythm of life follows the seasons — wildflowers in spring, golden aspens in fall, and still, snow-dusted mornings in winter.

Our grounds border the Little River and offer easy access to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the North Country Scenic Byway, and some of Michigan's finest hiking, kayaking, and cycling. Whether you come for the solitude or the adventure, we provide a comfortable home base.
