I'm not the girl who dreamed of a magical wedding day my whole life (I wanted to get married in a courthouse) - but this unbelievably gorgeous venue and all of Brian's coordination made me feel like a queen on the day. Bride Tip: HIRE BRIAN as your wedding planner & coordinator. I can't even begin to cover the ways he and his incredible staff went above and beyond for not just me, but my party and family. His coordination with outside vendors, his setup team, and his sense of humor made the weekend enjoyable when I thought I'd be a hot mess. He also set us up with gorgeous home rentals so my friends and family could stay in town for the wedding and didn't have to stay in Gaylord or local rinky-dink hotels - I highly recommend you ask about these rentals, because my family RAVED about how gorgeous they were and I couldn't believe how cost effective the properties were in comparison to some of the Gaylord hotels. I might divorce my husband just so we can get remarried and do it all again at The Manor. Seriously, the best weekend of my life. I want you to feel as good as we did on your big day. Book this place before it fills up.

The venue is meticulously clean, warm and welcoming. The grounds are manicured to perfection. The staff is unbelievable!

If you are at all concerned about planning your event from a distance, you have absolutely no worries. Brian will be with you every step of the way to make sure that everything you want, need or may need is available. He has relationships with so many vendors to help complete your event. I highly recommend the Manor for your next Destination event.

I love wandering through this gorgeous old Mill building, and we got a chance to see it fully decorated for a wedding once and WOW, was it lovely. There's a separate ballroom area and room for a bar. You definitely feel like you've taken a tesseract into a different time in this beautiful old building. Photographic opportunities abound here, as the creek winds through the property, the mill circulates the water, and wildflowers pepper the creekside. Beautiful flowerboxes adorn the railings over the bridge. Magical place.

Willowbrook Mill is presently under contract to be sold to a new operator, and is not currently accepting any new bookings. The new operators are in the process of planning for their preservation and use of this historic venue, and reimagining how the property can continue to enhance the beautiful and vibrant nature of the Northport community. As the new owners create their vision for this historic venue, there will be an active inquiry link here on this website so that they have the ability to reach out to your for your future needs. It has been a great honor to act as stewards for this grand old space and we wish all of our Willowbrook Mill Wedding Couples a long and happy life. All the best Mimi Heberlein

BEWARE IF VISITING WITH CHILDREN OR PETS We had a horrifying…read moreexperience at Gabriel Farms & Winery on October 25th, 2026. As we were walking into the winery with our Yorkie on a leash, a chocolate Lab came running toward us and went straight after our dog. The Lab bit our Yorkie in the leg, leaving a puncture wound. We were extremely lucky that we reacted quickly. We picked our Yorkie up, and I was able to get the Lab to release our dog's leg. The situation did not end there. As we tried to get back to our car, another lighter-brown dog followed us, barking and jumping toward my wife as she carried our injured Yorkie. Our 5-year-old daughter was with us, and I had to stay between the dog and my family while we made our way back to the car as they continue to bark at us. What made an already frightening experience even more upsetting was the complete lack of concern from the staff. Not once did anyone come outside to check whether our 5-year-old daughter, my wife, our dog, or I were okay. No one checked on our dog's injury or even came out to see if anyone had been hurt. We were left to deal with the situation and get our family safely back to our vehicle on our own. I cannot understand why dogs are allowed to roam freely around a business where families, young children, and customers with their own pets are visiting while stating their dogs are friendly. The bite broke the skin and left the puncture wound shown in the attached photo. I'm sharing this because other families need to be aware. If you are considering visiting with a dog or young children, please use extreme caution.

The location is fabulous, set in the beautiful historic Bay View Association with that classic Northern Michigan charm and classic views. The inn has a wonderful string of history, and you can tell the new owners are pouring everything they have into it. Unfortunately, the bar drinks, menu items, and especially the service just don't deliver at a level that matches the setting or the prices. We've seen this pattern over multiple seasons. It's tough to attract and retain great seasonal staff in the area (a real challenge for many spots up here), but at this point the execution falls short of what the property deserves. Hoping the team can turn it around--we'd love to be raving fans of this local landmark.

And it is always an education as the proprietors really know the wine business and can recite some terrific facts and great trivia. We already have plans to go back and wine shoe a little bit more and have another glass of wine at the crooked vine.
