Michigan company retreat venue near grand rapids

Our unique West Michigan corporate retreat is centrally located in the midwest, just 45 mins to the Grand Rapids airport (GRR), 2 hours to Chicago, 3 hours to Detroit, & 5 mins to Lake Michigan. The retreat venue, called the Hop & Vine Inn, includes comfortable meeting spaces and 15 individual guestrooms (some with multiple bedrooms and all with their own bathroom) to ensure each team member has a place to comfortably call their own during your corporate stay. 

So, how does it work?

Your corporate event takes over our entire inn, and the property is exclusively for your work team, without the distraction of outside guests. We (Dan & Amber, the husband & wife proprietors and our infant twins) live in the building and are available to ensure your business trip goes smoothly and provide assistance, and area suggestions.
