Getaway to Manitou Beach

Right before the Halloween weekend, we went on a getaway to Manitou Beach on Devils Lake! Why Devil’s Lake? Well… doesn’t it sound spooky? So it certainly is a great place to travel before Halloween. Also, this area is a great place to visit no matter the season! The village of Manitou Beach is transforming itself into a four seasons destination with shops, restaurants, and events open all year round.
A getaway to Manitou Beach and stay at this Airbnb is perfect if you’re looking for a year round vacation spot in Michigan. While we traveled as a family, during our stay I kept thinking this would be an amazing place to stay when on a girls trip or romantic getaway. Given it’s on Devils Lake with quite an interesting history, it’d also be fun to stay on a ‘spooky’ themed trip.

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!

Discover all the things to do in and near Kalkaska and check out our two day itinerary to help inspire your own trip up north.
