Description

An Inspirational Getaway to Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan


 


Escape to the extraordinary historic estate of auto baron Edsel Ford for an overnight getaway that has been experienced by only a lucky few!  This package includes overnight accommodations in Edsel & Eleanor Ford House’s North Cottage, a private guided tour of the magnificent home and exploration of the breathtaking 86 acres of lakefront gardens and grounds.  You’ll also enjoy lunch for two in the charming Tea Room and receive a gift package that includes a Ford House picture book and notecards.


 


North Cottage was home to the Ford’s chauffer and his family and will be your sleeping quarters for the night.  The space offers a relaxing living room, full kitchen and two bedrooms.  The cottage is located in the Gate Lodge, the grand entrance to the estate and the structure that houses Different By Design, a new exhibit that explores the styling of Edsel Ford and features three of the family’s historic vehicles.


 


The package is not available to the public so the value truly is priceless!


 


Your getaway must be redeemed on a mutually agreeable date, within a year of this auction.
