Great Lakes & Mackinac Island Getaway

Glide atop the stunning waters of Lake Superior to see beautiful beaches, sea caves, and gorgeous rock formations soaring up to 200 feet high. These weather-sculpted cliffs are named after the colorful mineral stripes that adorn the rock face. Listen to fascinating narration about the history, geology, and Native culture of this region while viewing famous landmarks like Miners Castle, Chapel Rock, and Lover’s Leap.

Experience a slower way of life with two tranquil nights on this quaint island, where motor vehicles are prohibited. Enjoy the bygone era of old-world hospitality and charm at the 19th-century Grand Hotel with a one-of-a-kind Grand Luncheon, then relax in a rocking chair on the porch with stunning views. After our horse-drawn carriage tour, you may choose to spend leisure time watching the vibrant sunset, shopping for souvenirs at unique stores, diving into the island’s military past at Fort Mackinac, or tasting famous fudge in the Fudge Capital of the World!”

Sail the crystal-clear waters along the Lake Superior shoreline in Bayfield, surrounded by nature’s untouched beauty and the peaceful sound of gentle waves. Marvel at sculpted sandstone cliffs, hidden sea caves, historic lighthouses, and forested islands that seemingly float on the horizon. We may also see bald eagles soaring overhead!
