Nestled within the beautiful pines, this property reflects all the natural beauty and tranquility that nature has to offer. This property was discovered in the late 1800's by Governor Chase Osborn (MI) and was designated his winter home and hunting retreat in the early 1900's. It later became home to him and his life partner, Stellanova Brunt.
On this historic property, many books were written and history was made. We are excited to offer this property in our historic venue collection so that you too can experience its beauty, admire its history, and create your own memories.
Historic Possum Poke consist of 22 acres of pine trees and oak trees and is home to 5 structures.
It is available for private events, weddings and corporate retreats.
The property has been divided into two sections:
Possum Poke consists of the Red Barn, a green space, and two wedding ceremony sites. The first ceremony site option is within the pines and the second option is located on or next to the green space.
Receptions can be hosted in the red barn or on the green space. (also, the perfect location for a tent)
StellaNova consists of the lane on which the two home structures are located and the barn. They are known as Big Poke and Little Poke and the barn is located in between the homes. Various ceremony sites will be available along with accommodations.
