MAKE IT A VACATION

Northern Michigan is nature’s ultimate playground—with lush forests, abundant lakes, and charming towns straight out of a postcard. Tucked in the northern Lower Peninsula, you'll experience a full array of seasons here. Whether you’re boating and hiking in the summer, exploring fall’s fiery colors, hitting snowy trails in winter, or hunting morels in spring, there’s always something fun around the corner.

​

Then there’s Charlevoix—a charming resort town that’s surrounded by water, sitting pretty between Lake Michigan, Lake Charlevoix, and Round Lake. It’s got the kind of waterfront views that’ll have your camera working overtime.

​

Stroll through the storybook downtown, where every boutique, gallery, café, and local eatery has its own personality. And don’t miss the town’s famous “mushroom houses” homes built of stone by Earl Young—so magical, they might just make you want to be a hobbit.
