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.

Getaway to Ann Arbor

From stopping to smell the peonies to exploring works of public art, we saw a lot during our recent getaway to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Ann Arbor is more than just a college town – home to the University of Michigan. It is one of Michigan’s cultural and artistic hubs. It’s also a beautiful green city with lots of tall, old trees. Buildings and towering historic stone churches blend right into the leafy skyline. If you love parks and trails, you’ll be spoiled for choice on which to start with.

My family and I don’t often travel over to southeast Michigan so we made the most of our time here. If you enjoy art and nature, this is the perfect destination for you. And if that isn’t enough, everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly! Read on to discover some of the best attractions to explore in Ann Arbor.
