We would love to have you in Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake Wine Region... the leaves are changing... the tourists are mostly gone and it's grape harvest at the vineyards...

If that's not enough, the Finger Lakes are amazing this time of year... from Letchworth State Park to Cooperstown and as far south as Watkins Glen, Corning and Ithaca, the Lakes are a great getaway and not that far from Detroit...

Surely you have fall color in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula.

Happy to help! We also had an amazing time this summer up in Traverse City area. Great dining and beautiful beaches. It's one of my blog posts too if you are interested.

We stayed a few days in a small town called Arcadia in NW Michigan. Then we drove to some area attractions including a day/evening in Traverse City and a day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline. These destinations are much closer to Detroit than Pictured Rocks and also very beautiful/fun. I love good food and Traverse City had a lot of options. We researched it prior since we only had one night there and decided on Trattoria Stella - a well known Italian restaurant. So good!
