Fall Season is here! - Lots of openings & Off-season pricing!
• One of our most beautiful seasons is upon us with dropped rates, a slower pace, and lots of peace and quiet! It is our favorite. The ferrys still run back and forth to Mackinac Island, most of the shops stay open in the fall, and the water and weather is still warm through September! Northern Michigan has one of the best color shows anywhere with trees beginning to turn color in mid-September and lasting over a month! Come enjoy our cozy getaway this Fall and Winter with the many cool weather activities in our area including shopping, skiing, skating, hiking, snowmobiling, sledding, tubing, swimming in our indoor parks, or just relaxing, playing games, and enjoying one another! You won't be disappointed!
