Inside Marigold Lodge

By

In September we shared with you the history of Marigold Lodge and how the home became a part of Herman Miller. We thought we’d show you more of the lodge—and the other buildings that share the property—since Marigold is such a special place to the Herman Miller community. Take a tour through our slide show to see what our guests experience when they visit.

The lodge has eight bedrooms on the second floor, including those of the Gold family. Throughout the home, pieces from the family’s collection decorate the space, including Herman Miller furniture made in the 1930s, before our founder, D.J. De Pree, met Gilbert Rohde.

Other accommodations are located in the Smokehouse (formerly the barbecue house), the Ice House, and the Carriage House. Altogether, Marigold has 21 guest rooms.

Marigold also offers meeting space in the Learning Center, which has four conference rooms, as well as touchdown spaces, group spaces, and a patio. And the Boathouse offers one conference room that easily accommodates a small group.

No matter what the season, Marigold is a treat to visit, whether you’re our guest from out of town or an employee of Herman Miller. Everyone receives a warm welcome in a beautiful environment.

I remember the first time I visited Marigold Lodge, My Granfather Harold Overweg’s retirement party after 41 years of service. My Sister and I came and my parents said kids were not allowed at these events so we were to be on our best behavior. Loved the Pianobox in the “lounge” with the leather couches and wood walls,

My early memories of this place go back to my childhood. I grew up in Waukazoo, and spent many days exploring Gold’s Point. Fishing inside the boathouse, hanging around the gazebo, playing hide and seek. Oh, if those old cement walls could talk !! I can’t remember how many times that old caretaker didn’t chase all us kids out of there. But Mrs. Gold was very nice especially at Halloween. Thats if you were brave enough to visit the mansion after dark. I have watched all the changes to the property, but will always remember the the great times growing up next to such a wonderful place.
