Family Friendly Fall Getaway to Mackinac Island

Fall is one of the best times of the year in Michigan. It is a time for trips to one or more of our state’s amazing apple orchards, pumpkin patches, or participating in a town’s fall or harvest festival. The weather is usually mild. And it’s a great time to go on fall color tours! One place in Michigan I’ve been yearning to visit during fall is Mackinac Island.

There are many great reason’s to visit Mackinac Island during fall – less crowds, great weather for biking, and seeing the fall colors around the island all immediately come to mind.

In this article, I provide a little history about Mackinac Island and the hotel we stayed at, details into our stay at Harbour View Inn, our trip itinerary, and other suggestions of what to explore while on the island.

Things to Do in Kalkaska

When many Michiganders think of places to vacation in Northern Michigan, Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Petoskey are often top of mind. But Kalkaska is an up and coming underrated gem of a destination with a blossoming number of things to do. And it is extremely convenient, affordable, and beautiful to stay overnight here.

During our recent 2 night trip, we stayed at Quinn Cabin – a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin ON A LAKE. Vacation doesn’t get any better than watching a sunset over a lake then retreating into a quiet, cozy cabin. How peaceful! Take me back!

Getaway to Sawyer

Many Michiganders don’t know about the cute but quiet small town of Sawyer in southwest Michigan. If they have, it’s probably because they momentarily stopped off at the TA Truck Stop off I-94 for gas or a quick bite to eat. Beyond this exit is a world of beauty and adventure just waiting to be enjoyed! So slow down and explore a little further off exit 12. Better yet – take a relaxing getaway to Sawyer. Within this small town alone, there are several scrumptious independently owned restaurants, a brewery that cooks up phenomenal BBQ, and towering sand dunes along Lake Michigan.
