About 3883 W Carleton Road
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 diningroom 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.
