Pure Michigan! Roamer's Inn on Hess Lake
This is the Original Roamers Inn 1923-- the Inn where the infamous mobster Al Capone was known to spend his summers on the Hess Lake Northshore. Restored and renovated to combine the Gatsby 1920's style with an updated Michigan Lakehouse lifestyle-- it really is one of a kind!
Many activities are offered here in Newaygo. Besides enjoying this Lake front property, rather it be kayaking, paddle boarding, waterskiing, fishing or just taking a refreshing swim. Michigan has 11,000 inland lakes, more shoreline than any other state in the nation, tens of thousands of miles of rivers and streams and more than 3,000 miles of water trails - all yours to enjoy!

Awesome lake house
This is a perfect spot on the lake with everything you need for a relaxing time! Host was very responsive and accommodating. House was very well updated and very clean. Our kids loved the yard space and kayaks/paddle boards!
