What Club Iniquity Is (and Isn’t)
What it is:
Club Iniquity is a Northern Michigan lifestyle events group that specializes in full hotel and resort takeovers. Founded in 2017, their mission is to give swinger couples and open-minded friends a safe, sexy place to play without driving hours downstate. Expect:
- BYOB weekends with mixers and ice provided.
- Workshops and classes (Swinging 101, toy demos, rope safety, empowerment sessions).
- Themed parties (Halloween, 80’s glow, Adult Prom).
- Clothing-optional pool socials and lingerie shows.
- A community-driven vibe focused on fun, safety, and no drama.
What it isn’t:
- Not a permanent nightclub or bar. There’s no standing location in Gaylord you can just walk into; events happen only during scheduled hotel/resort weekends.
- Not a walk-in event. You must register through Club Iniquity and book via their portal; booking directly with the hotel won’t get you into the event.
- Not single-male friendly without limits. Entry for single men is tightly capped (e.g., 1 per 20 couples) and requires an active, verified profile.
- Not a free-for-all. Every attendee signs a waiver, rules are explained at orientation, and Dungeon Monitors/staff enforce a consent-first, judgment-free atmosphere.
In short: Club Iniquity is a curated, private community experience, not a drop-in club. If you want structured fun in a safe and playful environment, this is one of Michigan’s best weekend options.

How entry works
- Registration is mandatory. You cannot just show up or book a room directly with the hotel—all bookings go through Club Iniquity’s registration portal. This ensures privacy and control over who attends.
- Waivers required. Couples and singles sign a behavior and discretion waiver as part of the registration process. This reinforces the consent-first, no-drama environment.
- Check-in windows:
- Friday: 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm
- Saturday: 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Guests arriving outside these windows must coordinate with organizers ahead of time—late arrivals without notice may be denied entry.
- Wristbands & orientation: At check-in, attendees receive wristbands, event materials, and a reminder of rules. First-timers are encouraged to attend the Friday night meet-and-greet/orientation to learn the ground rules and meet staff.
👉 Key takeaway: Club Iniquity events are private, pre-registered weekends only—no walk-ins, no direct hotel reservations. This keeps the community safe, vetted, and drama-free.
Dress Code & What to Bring
Dress Code
- Theme nights: Each event has a central theme (Halloween, 80’s Glow, Adult Prom). Dressing up is highly encouraged and adds to the atmosphere—think costumes, neon outfits, lingerie, or formalwear depending on the theme.
- Pool parties: Many resorts used by Club Iniquity host clothing-optional pool socials. Swimwear is optional—guests often wear sexy bikinis, sheer cover-ups, or nothing at all.
- Workshops & daytime socials: Casual clothing is fine, though many attendees still keep it flirty with lingerie, clubwear, or playful accessories.
- General vibe: No strict dress code—just dress to express yourself, respect the theme, and feel sexy and confident.

What to Bring
- Photo ID — Required at check-in.
- BYOB drinks — Club Iniquity is a BYOB event; mixers, cups, and ice are provided.
- Toy bag & aftercare items — Bring your favorite toys, restraints, lube, and personal aftercare kit (snacks, water, blanket, wipes).
- Theme outfits & lingerie — Pack something eye-catching for the parties (and backups if you want to switch looks).
- Swimwear (or not!) — If you’d like something for the clothing-optional pool.
- Cash/card — For vendors, boudoir photos, or extras not included in the package.
Leave at home
- Drama & disrespect — Club Iniquity is built on a no-drama, judgment-free atmosphere.
- Outside hotel bookings — Only registered guests through Club Iniquity can access the event; outside reservations don’t qualify.
Pro tip: Pack a mix of sexy and comfortable outfits—you’ll want something fun for the parties but cozy for late-night snacks or morning workshops and can result in ejection and forfeiture of fees. If you need assistance, an Information/Help Desk in the lobby can direct you to staff or answer accessibility questions throughout the weekend.
House Rules & Etiquette (Consent-First)
Club Iniquity’s hotel takeovers are designed to be safe, sexy, and drama-free. To keep the community fun and respectful, everyone signs a waiver at registration and agrees to the following principles:
Consent is Everything
- Ask first, always. No touching people or their toys without clear permission.
- Respect “No.” Consent can be withdrawn at any time; if someone says stop, stop immediately.
- Dungeon/play areas are monitored by staff—if a safeword or safety issue arises, monitors will step in.
Respect the Vibe
- No drama, no judgment. This is a space for couples and individuals to explore without pressure. Anyone causing disruptions may be asked to leave.
- Discretion required. What happens at the event stays at the event—outing other attendees is grounds for removal.
“This site has been super fun. Would highly recommend for all players :)” -coltpl4y
BYOB Policy
- Bring your own alcohol. Mixers, cups, and ice are provided, but there is no hotel bar during a takeover.
- Drink responsibly. Over-intoxication may result in being asked to sit out or leave.
Registration & Access
- Registered guests only. Booking through Club Iniquity’s portal is mandatory; direct hotel reservations do not grant access.
- Check-in during posted hours. (Friday 3–8 pm, Saturday 12–8 pm). Arrivals outside this window must be cleared with organizers.
Pool & Party Etiquette
- Clothing-optional pools: Respect others’ comfort levels; don’t photograph or record.
- Theme parties: Participation is encouraged, but play is never mandatory. Join in however you feel comfortable.
👉 Bottom line: Club Iniquity weekends run on respect, privacy, and consent. Follow the rules, keep an open mind, and you’ll find the atmosphere welcoming and judgment-free.
