Welcome to Grass Lake Sanctuary
The Grass Lake Sanctuary is a 145-acre Nature Sanctuary and Retreat Center perched in the heart of the Sharon Short Hills region of Southeastern Michigan.
The Sanctuary is situated on beautifully maintained roads leading to breathtaking views at every turn.
Located in near proximity to Historic Villages such as Dexter, Chelsea and Manchester, graceful winding roads bring you to Ann Arbor, Lansing, or Jackson in just minutes, and it’s only 1 hour from the acclaimed International Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
The Sanctuary offers a modern conference center graced with sweeping views of the Sanctuary and the Sharon Short Hills rural landscape preserve.
Six elegant and eco-friendly insulated sleeping cabins complete with screened porches are strategically placed throughout the Sanctuary for guest privacy.
Take a moment to meet someone new at our historic Conversation Cabin complete with campfire area. Embark on a journey through nature trails that lead you through a second generation oak savannah, or stargaze from vintage prairie land. Join a health and wellness event hosted by our team of professional hospitality staff, or rejuvenate while reading a book high above the Oasis Pond in the tree house.
Take a moment to enjoy our video of the Sanctuary.
It is astonishing to me that the retreat experience at GLS has had such a profound impact on my life.
PLAN YOUR ELEGANT
NATURE RETREAT
Grass Lake Sanctuary brings decades of experience in providing programs that focus on nature, relationship building, creativity from the heart, foods for health, de-stressing and rejuvenation. Research has shown taking time for a retreat in nature to be powerfully healing, helping participants release stress and regain life-balance and a sense of renewed joy and enthusiasm for living. Let us bring our experience to your experience.
GRASS LAKE SANCTUARY ENTERS A NEW ERA
In these challenging times, Grass Lake Sanctuary continues the mission of guiding and educating the community toward recognizing and incorporating the health and wellness benefits of retreating to nature into everyday life. Let us shape your experience. The Sanctuary opens its doors in 2021 to share in your healing process. From organized retreats, to that overnight getaway, we can tailor a visit to your wellness needs, and your friends, family members, and organizations as well. Thank you in advance for your involvement and support.
