Now this is vacation!

We all love to eat and shop – and even adults like to play! You can do all three of these things at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. We’re a mid-Michigan destination for all three!

This variety makes for an exciting experience. A vacation doesn’t have to center on just one activity. The Bavarian Inn Lodge offers a 3-in-1 vacation!

Play hard and then have a bite to eat. Want to bring home a souvenir and gifts? Our Castle Shops are on location! Are you someone who likes to shop until you drop? You’re in luck because our guest rooms have comfortable beds, so you’ll be refreshed to do it all over again the next day.

Being comfortable is key for that much-needed shuteye on vacation; because your kids will be asking you about going on the waterslide again before you’ve even had a chance to have a sip of coffee in the morning. Trust us!

Eat

There are a number of restaurants to choose from within walking distance of the Lodge, mid-Michigan destinations in and of themselves, and all of them offer a variety of options.

Located just a short walk across the Covered Bridge, the Bavarian Inn Restaurant’s world-famous chicken dinners are always a hit. For those who are up for authentic Bavarian food, our menu offers plenty of options, including a variety of vegetarian dishes. Those with allergies or medical conditions can order gluten-free options or we can tailor your dish for you!

Families with kids can enjoy a kids menu that caters to kids’ tastes and provides appropriate portion sizes.

Here’s a “taste” of German food we serve:

  • Bavarian Inn chicken
  • Bavarian Benedict
  • Bratwurst & kraut
  • Cheddar ale soup (with imported Hofbräuhaus beer)
  • German potato cheese dumplings
  • German potato pancakes
  • Jäger schnitzel
  • Pretzels (that each feed four people!)
  • Sausage plate
  • Spaetzle

While Bavarian cuisine is our specialty, we also serve:

  • Soups
  • Sandwiches
  • Steaks
  • Seafood
  • Vegetarian food
  • And more!

I’ll drink to that!

Are you a wine connoisseur? Are you always trying wines from different regions of the world and pairing them with the perfect cheese? Join us for a wine tasting! We carry a variety of German wines and have paired them with cheeses to complement their flavor.

Perhaps you’ve tried wines from France, Argentina, or Napa Valley. Now is your opportunity to see what Bavaria has to offer! If you’ve tried German wine and beer, then you already know why we’re your mid-Michigan destination for connoisseurs of German drinks!

Are you a fan of craft beer?

Join us for a beer sampling! Germany is known for its beer for a good reason!

German Wine Tasting, 30 minutes

$10.00/guest

Sample several of our private label German wines prior to dining. Cheese and crackers will complement the light and elegant wines that balance sweetness with acidity, a classic characteristic of wines from that region. You will learn how to read the label (the wine’s “birth certificate”) and decipher the character of German wines.

German Beer Sampling, 30 minutes

$10.00/guest

Sample three beers, each created with a different German brewing method! Enjoy a pilsner, a dunkel (dark) beer, and a weisse (wheat) beer along with another German classic – a soft pretzel!

  • Pilsner
  • Dunkel
  • Weisse

Please note that German wine tasting and German beer sampling are ONLY for guests 21 or over (Sorry, Germany’s lower drinking age of 16 for beer/wine and 18 for spirits isn’t valid at the Bavarian Inn. You might be in Little Bavaria, but the U.S. rules still apply!). Minimum of 20 guests required.
