Sholtey’s Newaygo Lakes Resort

Black-And-White Photo Of A Large Lodge-Style Building With Wraparound Porches And Lawn Chairs In The Foreground, Labeled “Sholtey’s Newaygo Lakes Resort — Newaygo, Mich.”

Sholtey’s Newaygo Lakes Resort is pictured in this vintage real-photo postcard view, tucked under tall trees with wide porches and rows of lawn chairs out front. The caption on the image places it in Newaygo, Michigan.

The exact year isn’t listed on the card, but the scene captures the kind of lakeside lodge that drew generations to Newaygo County’s cottage country. With so many lakes and rivers in the county, resorts like this were a big part of summer life for visitors and locals alike.

Do you remember Sholtey’s — or know which lake this resort sat on and when it operated?
