Preview: It’s hard to believe that a spa with the high quality of the Kerr House could lie just over an hour from
Detroit. It has no desert sun, mineral springs, or hotshot aerobics instructors. The Kerr House does, however, have Laurie Hostetler. A determined dynamo, it was her dream to buy a rundown Victorian mansion in Grand Rapids, Ohio, and transform it into one of the Midwest’s most exclusive health retreats. Some say the Kerr House is the best spa in the country. It consistently ranks up there with more famous sun-filled getaways such as Canyon Ranch and the Golden Door. The touch that makes a weekend at the Kerr House so special, however, is the personal attention each guest receives. Hostetler takes no more than eight guests at a time for a weekend full of personal pampering. This getaway is designed for adults. The detailed itinerary in this chapter is a driving tour that features extensive recommendations for sightseeing attractions, recreational activities, lodging, restaurants, shopping, and more.
