Between two great lakes and the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, this trip has you discovering stunning private gardens, wild dunes, a botanical garden, mushroom homes, a resort on the bay, and a stay in the famous, historic and elegant Grand Hotel.
Grand Hotel
Since 1887, Grand Hotel beckons guests to a time where old-world meets new charm. Experience dressing up for dinner, nightly dancing to the sounds of a live orchestra, and sitting in a rocking chair on the world’s longest porch overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Discover the rich history and tastefully preserved architecture of this National Historic Landmark, while enjoying the hotel’s modern amenities and unsurpassed service. Voted “Best Island in the Continental U.S.” at the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards.
Mackinac Island
No cars, no chain stores or hotels – just horse drawn carriages, fudge, and unforgettable sunsets.
Botanic Garden
Located in the heart of Traverse City on the beautiful grounds of Historic Barns Park. The Botanic Garden is a year-round sanctuary of environmental preservation, recreation and education.
Sleeping Bear Dunes
Sleeping Bear Dunes was named the “Most Beautiful Place in America” on ABC’s Good Morning America. Miles of sand beach, bluffs that tower 450’ above Lake Michigan, lush forests, clear inland lakes, unique flora and fauna make up the natural world of Sleeping Bear Dunes. High dunes afford spectacular views across the lake.
Schooner Manitou Sunset Sail
