Groups, Meetings & Special Events
People are just naturally drawn to beauty. That's the reason you'll find among the fragrant pines, under glorious skies, along the white sand beaches, and atop the windswept bluffs of Benzie County; meetings, reunions, weddings, and gatherings of all sorts taking place.
Benzie's smaller resorts, cozy B&B's, and enchanting country inns also provide perfect settings for family reunions, weddings, or groups of friends who come to Benzie to sample the county's charms. Benzie County is particularly amenable to groups that are focusing on wellness. Here, they schedule their retreats; staying in lovely accommodations located on peaceful lakes, in quiet woods, or along scenic rivers.
Benzie is also an undisputed artist's paradise. Groups of artists are drawn to the area and stay in cottages clustered throughout the county attending workshops and expressing the beauty of the area through their paintings, sculptures and other art media.
