Wildflower Depot sits on two tranquil acres of wildflowers under a canopy of trees. This lovingly restored 150-year-old train depot is a short stroll to beautiful Lake Michigan. The c.1880 historical Copemish train depot, known for the past several decades as the beloved Wildflowers Gift Shop, was moved to Bay Lane in 2021 from the outskirts of Glen Arbor.
The original structure has been renovated from top to bottom, including the addition of a gourmet eat-in kitchen with Wolf cooktop

Stayed Aug 25, 2024We loved spending 5 nights at a renovated old railroad depot. It had a lot of personality and was comfortable for our 5 family members. The owners did a great job making it a home away from home.

Stayed Aug 11, 2024A enjoyable stay at this well appointed small home converted from a train depot. Updated kitchen has induction stove and upscale coffee making equipment. Nice living room, comfortable bed, and enjoyable fire pit out back. Close (0.3 mile) to the beach and 5 minute drive to town. Could have benefited from better communication response time from property manager, especially on move-in day.

Stayed Aug 5, 2024Cynthia was a fantastic host. Got a little trouble with the washing machine, and she responded quickly with a solution. The house itself is beyond charming and quite comfortable. It was definitely a five star experience.

Stayed Jul 20, 2024We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Wildflower Depot. The house was clean, bright, and airy. Excellent location within walking distance of a beautiful Lake Michigan beach, downtown Glen Arbor, and the Mill. Cynthia was kind, helpful and communicative. We enjoyed swimming in the clear Lake Michigan waters, amazing sunsets, and all that Glen Arbor has to offer. Can't wait to return.
