When we moved to Alpena 8 years ago, we knew we wanted to find a place that would allow our kids to learn the value of work. We were originally looking for a farm, but were blessed to find Wes Point Shores.

With these lovely cabins, some standing over 80 years, our kids have had a lot of opportunities to learn new skills.

So far this season, they have helped us repair 3 roofs, renovate a bedroom replace a ceiling and put some more touches on Cabin 2. Always full of adventure and surprises, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Hi All! Spring has sprung in an icy way! Like everyone in Northern Michigan, we are without power, but know that crews are working as hard as they can to safely return things to working order. All those beautiful trees that have shaded our property have had a considerable trim and we have a lot of lines down. Though we have some casualties, we have been spared considerable damage as it could have been much worse and most importantly, everyone is safe. We have lots of work to do to get ready for our guests on a regular year- this just adds a few more things to do:) If you have reached out via email or phone, we will get back to you as soon as as power and internet are restored! Until then, please keep our communities and utility workers in your prayers. Lots of hard working folks out there and we thank you!!

Happy New Year from Wes Point Shores and welcome to 2025! It’s hard to believe we are preparing for our 7th summer here as the owners of Wes Point Shores! What a blessing it has been and we look forward to welcoming you all back for the summer!

Wes Point Shores has been around for over 80 years and is steeped in much tradition. To the best of our knowledge, we are only the fifth owners of this lovely place. It was originally built back in the 1940’s by the West Family. Since then, many families have summered here and created traditions and memories passed on through the generations. We are thankful that all of you continue to make Wes Point Shores a part of your traditions.

It has always been our goal to provide a clean, affordable, safe, family-friendly environment for our customers, and that continues to be true!

Here’s the hard part—as we see in all aspects of our lives, costs are increasing, and we have not been immune to it. In fact, being transparent, we have seen some of our major costs increase by up to 300%. We have done our best to provide our customers the best experience possible, while trying to maintain its affordability. This is and will continue to be our goal.

Unfortunately, maintaining that same base level of operation and maintenance requires that we adjust our prices. In calculating our prices, we try to maintain rates that families can afford, while still being able to meet our obligations and maintenance costs. Please understand, we do not make a decision to raise rates without serious consideration.

To that end, for any reservations made after March 1, 2025, we will no longer be able to honor the promotion of “Stay for 7 nights/ pay for 6”. If you have an existing reservation—there is nothing to worry about, your reservation will still reflect the free night for the 2025 season.

Again, this is not a decision we take lightly, as our primary goal is to keep our doors open and allow your families the opportunity to continue making memories here at Wes Point Shores for years to come.

Please call us with any questions you may have. As always, we look forward to welcoming you all back in a few short months!

And a final friendly reminder- if you haven't already done so, please get your deposits in by April 1st!

We look forward to seeing in a few short months!

Respectfully,

The Budd Family
