Entire Inn Rental for Groups

Experience the charm of small-town Michigan with an entire inn rental for groups of up to 25 guests at the Ovid Inn Event Center. This private-use option offers a unique experience in group lodging in Michigan, perfect for families, wedding parties, sports teams, church groups, and reunion guests.

Located in a beautifully restored 1800s building on historic Main Street, the Ovid Inn combines vintage revival charm with the comforts of modern hospitality. With more than 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, your group can enjoy a full-property rental with no shared areas or other guests onsite — a major advantage when considering group lodging in Michigan.

The inn features bunk-style suites that are clean, cozy, and welcoming. Each room includes vintage décor, modern bedding, Wi-Fi, climate control, and all the essentials for a relaxing and connected stay. It’s the best of both worlds — the personality of a historic building and the privacy of a whole-home rental.

Shared spaces make Ovid Inn especially ideal for group lodging in Michigan. The spacious game room offers ping pong, foosball, pool, books, board games, and a laid-back lounge atmosphere. Upstairs, vintage lighting and antique details create an inviting place for families, friends, or teams to hang out, play games, or unwind after a busy day.

The formal dining area is perfect for shared meals or evening conversations. Whether your group chooses to cook, cater, or bring in takeout, the catering kitchen supports it all. It includes a refrigerator, freezer, oven, microwave, beverage coolers, coffee makers, bar tools, and more. While it’s not a commercial kitchen, it’s ideal for serving pre-made meals, snacks, or potluck-style gatherings.

Outside, a private courtyard creates a beautiful setting for day or night. Café string lights, picnic tables, seasonal decor, and cornhole boards make it a favorite hangout spot, especially during the warmer months. It’s one more reason Ovid Inn stands out as one of the most charming options for group lodging in Michigan.

One of the biggest benefits of staying at the Inn is location. Ovid is centrally located in Michigan’s heartland, just minutes from Sleepy Hollow State Park, Owosso Speedway, Michigan State University, and other popular attractions. Your group will enjoy easy access to nature, entertainment, and dining — all while staying in a quiet, welcoming small town. Ovid Inn is also listed on Choose Lansing and Visit Shiawassee, making it a trusted and recognized choice for group lodging in mid-Michigan.

For guests visiting for weddings, retreats, or sports tournaments, Ovid Inn offers a practical and comfortable solution for group lodging in Michigan. Staying under one roof makes coordinating easier, adds flexibility, and enhances the experience. Instead of booking hotel blocks and coordinating multiple check-ins, you can simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy.

This is a self-serve stay, which means your group will receive clear check-in instructions and have the place to yourselves. There’s no front desk or shared spaces with other guests. Everything is ready when you arrive, and you’ll feel at home from the moment you walk in.

Whether you’re planning a family reunion, team weekend, or out-of-town stay for a special occasion, Ovid Inn provides the ideal setting for group lodging in Michigan. It’s where charm, privacy, and connection come together — all in one unforgettable place.

Seasonal Tips for Your Comfort

During your stay, Michigan may bring weather patterns that are better left outside! Here are some tips for your comfort (and energy-efficiency) at the Ovid Inn.

  • Closing the door between the main level and the upstairs improves temperature control and efficiency
  • During cold weather months, recommended temperature is 65 degrees in the Banquet Room to avoid feeling uncomfortable after the room fills with guests
  • We highly recommended leaving the Accommodations Thermostat on the programmed presets for maximum comfort
  • Guests will have better temperature consistency when bedroom doors are left open
