Our Story
A Private Estate, Shared Selectively
Alexawama was founded on a single conviction: that the finest travel experiences are not found in hotels, but in places that feel genuinely, privately yours.
The Alexawama Difference
Alexawama began as a family estate on the shores of Otsego Lake — a place of quiet mornings, long evenings on the water, and the particular stillness that only deep Michigan wilderness can offer.
Over time, the estate grew. Properties were acquired, restored, and appointed with the same care one would give a private home. The decision to open these retreats to a select few guests was not a commercial one — it was an invitation to share something rare.
Today, Alexawama manages three distinct properties and a curated suite of recreational assets, each maintained to an exacting standard. Every stay is arranged personally, every detail considered in advance.
What We Stand For
Our Principles
Privacy Above All
Every Alexawama property is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay. No shared spaces, no other guests, no compromises.
Uncompromising Quality
From the thread count of the linens to the caliber of the kitchen equipment, every element is chosen with intention and maintained without exception.
Genuine Discretion
Your stay, your preferences, and your identity are held in the strictest confidence. We do not publicize our guests or their visits.
Personal Arrangement
Every reservation begins with a conversation. We learn what you need, anticipate what you haven't thought of, and arrange everything before you arrive.

The Place That Makes It Possible
Otsego County sits at the heart of northern Michigan's lake country — a landscape of glacial lakes, old-growth forest, and four seasons of extraordinary beauty. It is a place that rewards those who seek it out, and rewards them generously.
