Important Details
Arrival is 6pm (ish) Friday October 18, and dismissal is 2pm Sunday October 20.
Dinner is on your own Friday
We have three housing arrangements, Mary, Lakeview, and Paul, each with king or queen beds and attached bathrooms.There is parking available right by the condo or lodge.
There are usually full kitchens, so if you need to bring your own snacks/foods you will be able to. There are coffee makers but you will need to bring your own coffee grounds and desired supplies.
Fellas, we recommend planning a date night for your lady on Saturday for dinner. I have attached a few options for local restaurants from GLM, you could research your own restaurant option (click HERE for local restaurant recommendations), or bring picnic supplies (full kitchen in your condo to store stuff) and stay on grounds, and there are complimentary activities that you can do at GLM (activity page). There will not be a dinner option at GLM for Saturday – we did not add that to our package
Local Restaurants
Gull Lake Ministries Recommends:
Ned’s
3.7 miles / 7 min
15450 M-43, Hickory Corners MI 49060
Think bar food without it really feeling like a sports bar. We recommend the pizza!
The Local
5.4 miles / 8 min
9805 E M-89, Richland MI 49083
This one really is more like a traditional sports bar and restaurant. Again, we recommend the pizza.
Pure Mex
7.1 miles / 11 min
8880 N 32nd St, Richland MI 49083
One of our Guest Services staff members was born in Mexico, and she says this is good Mexican so I take her word on it being authentic. My favorite is the fajita chicken quesadilla.
South Kitchen
2.3 miles / 5 min
12454 E D Ave, Richland MI 49083
A wonderful option, is more expensive than the others. I’ve heard GREAT things about their steaks.
North 11
11.0 miles / 17 min
5585 Gull Rd, Kalamazoo MI 49048
I haven’t been in a long time but hear great things. Good selection of share-able appetizers.
Applebee’s
10.8 miles / 16 min
5990 Gull Rd, Kalamazoo MI 49048
Just in case you have anyone that would prefer a tried-and-true option, we do have Applebee’s right on Gull Rd.
