Come Enjoy the Fall & Winter Seasons! (2025 Summer Season Open for Booking!)
• 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! 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!
