Own a unique, historically profitable family entertainment destination that combines a popular Cottage Inn Pizza dine-in restaurant with a fully equipped seasonal fun park, go-karts, bumper boats, mini golf, driving range, arcade, laser tag, and axe throwing--all on one property. The current owners acquired the Cottage Inn franchise in 2014 and quickly outgrew their original in-town location as birthday parties and family gatherings took off. In 2018 they purchased the former Silo's Fun Park, recognizing the opportunity to create a true regional draw for families and groups. The reimagined operation blends a strong food business with multiple entertainment revenue streams and has become a well-known local destination. The attached Cottage Inn restaurant offers dine-in, carryout, and delivery, and is one of only two locations in the area with a full dine-in experience. Guest capacity is rated at 99, with seating for over 110 utilizing additional approved space. The expanded dining room is thoughtfully designed with two distinct experiences: a "quiet side" with booths, tables, hot/cold lunch buffet and jukebox for guests seeking a calmer atmosphere, and an open family dining area with an indoor play place for children under 11. The open side is also set up for private party rentals, with flexible 2-hour blocks for groups of approximately 12, 16, or 24. The former fun park arcade building is now fully integrated with the restaurant operation and features a two-story arcade, two restrooms, two stockrooms, employee lounge, kitchen/prep area (currently not in use), redemption counter, and an additional private birthday party room that seats up to 32 guests. The arcade games are operated under a revenue-sharing agreement with Zapm Games (Grand Rapids area), who owns and maintains the machines. The business provides liability coverage while Zapm handles service and upkeep, and they are willing to continue with new ownership. Outdoors, the property includes multiple attractions designed for broad appeal and repeat visits. The go-kart track offers two different styles of kart racing. The bumper boat pool was upgraded in 2024 with over 20 "new to us" gas-powered boats (hulls, tubes, and motors) sourced from Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon, replacing older electric units. The 18-hole mini golf course is continually refreshed with updated greens, brick work, and trimmed landscaping. A nearly labor-free driving range adds another revenue stream; the current owners mow the grounds and use a drivable ball picker to retrieve balls, and customers obtain range balls directly from the Cottage Inn building where both cash and credit cards are accepted. Newer additions include an indoor laser tag arena and axe-throwing space. Laser tag attracts a wide age range starting around 4-5 years old, while Velcro axe throwing serves younger guests ages 5-10. This building includes seating for roughly 12-16 people and its own restroom, making it ideal for parties, team events, and group bookings. In 2025, the obsolete batting cages were removed, opening up additional space that could be used for extra parking or future attractions, giving a new owner room to grow. This is a well-established, historically profitable operation with multiple complementary revenue streams and strong community loyalty, offering a solid platform for continued growth under new ownership. The owners have focused on creating a safe, fun place for all seasons, complementing other local amenities such as the movie theater and bowling alley. The restaurant is known for offering "the best pizza for the best price, " and Cottage Inn regularly partners with area nonprofits--including 4-H groups, schools, and churches--to host Sunday fundraisers, donating 15% of net sales back to the organization. The sellers' motivation is purely personal and lifestyle-driven: the owner is approaching retirement, her husband's health is declining, and she has been solely responsible for the mowing, drivin
