For more than 80 years, Northern Michigan’s Otsego Resort has been a home-away-from-home for summer and winter travelers alike. Situated along the beautiful Sturgeon River Valley, the Michigan resort offers a taste of it all—outdoor activities, gourmet eats and cozy accommodations—with plenty of fun Gaylord events year-round.

WINTER WINE WALK | March 7
Have you ever gone on a snowshoe wine tour? This is your chance. Enjoy three wine stations and light snacks while you snowshoe from the historic River Cabin to the Beaver Dam and back.
MURDER MYSTERY DINNER // March 13
You’ve been invited to the Dunn Speakeasy for the wedding of the year. In this “married to the mob” event, you’ll never know who to trust. With the two families merging together, someone is bound to lose power, which means someone else will lose their life. Get on the trolley and solve this case with your fellow detectives.
Dress like the cat’s meow: Flapper dresses, zoot suits, feather boas and headbands, pinstriped suits and fedoras are all appropriate. Traditional wedding attire is nifty too.
There will be buffet dinner included. Bar sales not included.
