Your first stay in Grand Beach
Plan a first Grand Beach getaway with friends, family or colleagues: settle into EpitoMI, choose a shared outing and leave room for different interests.
A great group getaway does not need a full itinerary. Use EpitoMI as your Grand Beach base, choose one outing everyone wants to share and leave room for different interests. Confirm the minimum stay for your dates before making travel plans.
Arrive, unpack and make the house your own
Agree on bedrooms before arrival, then keep the first meal simple. Two kitchens and two living rooms give early arrivals somewhere to settle while the rest of the group travels. Check the floor plan for room arrangements and stairs.
Choose one outing to share
For an easy town outing, pair Mandy’s lunch pick, Angela’s Provisions, with a browse in New Buffalo. For a more active day, compare Warren Dunes and Indiana Dunes. Choose the outing around the group’s interests and walking comfort rather than trying to fit everything in.
Let the group split by interest
Golfers can check Grand Beach Golf Course while others explore New Buffalo or spend time at the house. Agree on a meeting point and make sure each group has transport. Find the places, booking links and practical details in Explore the Area.
Have a plan for a rainy afternoon
Keep shuffleboard and the arcade at EpitoMI as an easy option. If people want to go out, choose a town browse or a meal and check opening hours before leaving. There is no need to turn a change in weather into a packed replacement itinerary.
Make dinner the point of reunion
Bring the group back for a meal, then leave the evening open for the game room or living rooms. Before planning a big dinner, confirm dining seats and the kitchen equipment you need. Meals are for the approved overnight group; EpitoMI does not permit parties or events.
