About The Inn

The Perfect Year Round Vacation Destination

A Unique Cottage Inn

This historic property has been welcoming people from all over the globe since 1928.

The original lodge accommodations and lobby area are still in use, the lounge and bar area that was added in the late ’50s underwent significant upgrades in 2011 and the beautiful addition of the Lakeside dining room was added.

Cabins and Suites of different sizes have been added over the years with the newest of them being the two Executive Cottages; full-efficiency two-bedroom cottages with private access to Twelve Mile Lake.
 
Throughout the years a few different owners upkept and upgraded the Red Umbrella Inn and have always made sure to keep its country charm and welcoming attitude to everyone who visits. 

Amenities

As the Red Umbrella has grown in size it has also grown in amenities offered to make each stay even more enjoyable.

 In the summer months, enjoy the kayaks, canoes, paddleboats, outdoor games, water trampoline, and evening bonfires. 

When the weather is a little cooler more indoor activities are used, such as pool and foosball tables, and a lounge area with a gas fireplace. 

Let the Red Umbrella Inn host your wedding, family celebration, or business function.

We pride ourselves on our hospitality and our reputation for outstanding food.
 
Whenever you visit and for whatever reason, our friendly knowledgeable staff, beautiful surroundings, and charming lakeside dining will ensure you will never forget your stay at the Red Umbrella Inn.

Inn Location

The Red Umbrella Inn is located on a 3-acre property on the west shore of Twelve Mile Lake.

We feature a “kid-friendly” sand beach with shallow swimming in a sheltered bay (no lifeguards). There are complimentary canoes & paddle boats available for our guests. There is free Wi-fi  internet covering the entire property.
