The Retreat at Briley Pines

02/03/2024

We have welcomed many new faces at Briley Pines this past year. Making new friends along the way. We are thankful for the growth in our business! This was always our plan for our retreat to be filled to capacity with Scrapbookers and Quilters, we never imagined how busy we would be with Family Reunions, Motorcycle Groups, ORV Groups, and just get togethers of large friends groups. We are Blessed! Thank you all!

Great team! Now the fun part for me begins. Cutting out the windows and door. Building the bar tops, decorating. WOOHOO! So exciting. We removed this Bin from our Aunt & Uncles farm in Coleman Mi. Now it will live on in Atlanta! So much fun ahead for our guests!

Thanks to all the guys that made the 10th Semi Annual Briley Pines Golf Outing another GREAT weekend. After cancelling both outings in 2020 due to the pandemic the group never skipped a beat with comradery, jokes and good times. Michaywé Pines in Ga***rd and Cedar Valley in Comins were the golf courses played this weekend. Weather did cooperate as it was a beautiful weekend for golf. Thanks again guys for choosing Briley Pines for your northern golf weekend, looking forward to the next one in Sept 2021 !!!
