Waldenwoods Resort: Membership and Conference Center
Waldenwoods offers a special up-north, but close-to-home experience to visitors and members alike. Members can rent anything from a rustic cottage to a luxury villa or camp for free on one of 320 large grassy campsites. Waldenwoods Resort offers boating, fishing and hiking. Families can play together or simply lounge by the Olympic-size swimming pool. Summer activities include golf, fireworks, hayrides, dances, bonfires, tennis and beach volleyball. Winter is equally festive with a winter carnival, Valentine’s Ball, ice fishing competitions and sledding.
The stately 10,000- square-foot Cromaine Lodge sits on the water’s edge and is an ideal spot for your wedding or conference. Upstairs, overlooking Michigan’s most beautiful sunsets, is the Bellringer Club member lounge, open year-round for food and cocktails. It will be home to those who appreciate the outdoors and want to live in a historic resort community with the resort as the gem in the center.
Waldenwoods is also the headquarters for founder J. Robert Crouse's historic philanthropic effort called the Hartland Area Project. Many achievements of this effort are visible in Hartland today, including its acclaimed education system, town library, music hall and other cultural assets.
