Agassiz House Inn 25946 Red Jacket Road, Calumet Township, MI 49913

"The Barbara Kettle Gundlach Shelter Home has held 2 events at the Agassiz House Inn in Calumet since it's opening this fall. The most recent was on December 12th when the Inn's owners Hosted the Shelter staff for our Holiday Luncheon and we oerdered our meal from the Michigan House in Calumet. We had a great time going through the Inn to see the renovations and say many times, "did you see what they did too the 3rd floor, or that bathroom is so big"! Thank you for allowing us to the time there to reminisce! On October 27th, we held a Fundraiser, "An Evening at the Agassiz Inn". We had over 40+ people attend and tour the Inn, enjoy a buffet of appetizers and take part in our Silent Auction. The owners of the Inn brought up Jim and Eli, their beautiful Belgian Horses to take our guests on a ride through Calumet; however, the weather turned rainy, windy and cold, so Jim and Eli were just as happy to stay in the trailer as were our guests to stay inside. The evening was very nice and there was a lot great conversatiions shared about the Agassiz House even before it was our first shelter between 1983 and 2021. Thanks Beth and Cheryl for being our Hosts and giving us the space to hold our event. The Board and Staff appreciate your generosity. The Agassiz House Inn is the perfect setting for such an event as ours was and would be a great venue choice for Weddings, Bridal & Baby Showers, business meetings where those traveling can stay right there., and many more events. The renovations they have done have certainly brought it back to its original glory. We are a lucky community to have the Inn open and available receive guests."

"What a beautiful transformation of the Agassiz House Inn. I can’t wait to stay here!"

"Such a beautifully restored building. It feels like stepping back in time with many modern touches where you need them. I attended a holiday luncheon there and it felt like being in a movie. The owners are so fun and the restoration stories are great."

"I attended a Christmas luncheon at the Agassiz House Inn. We exchanged gifts in the parlor seated on antique sofas and winged back chairs in front of the fireplace. It was magical. Our lunch was in the formal dining room. There were eleven seated at the table next to the fire place, complete with chandelier and buffet. The Inn has been beautifully restored. It's a great place for a party or event. I highly recommend it."

"I got to see the newly renovated Agassiz House Inn at their open house. Beth and Cheryl have done a great job of bringing this historic property back online and available for the public to enjoy. Thank you for investing your time and energy in preserving this beautiful property. Well done!"
