Michigan Fall Getaway

Posted by: lindmar on Sep 16, 10 at 06:05 PM Posted in: United States Tagged: Jump to last reply

Hello Everyone:

My wife and I had a wonderful vacation in Michigan last summer thanks to the folks on this forum. We spent 5 days in the Bay Harbor and Petoskey area and it was great.

Now we are planning a late September/early October five day fall getaway and are looking for some ideas. We are really into quaint & historic areas (we loved the gaslight district in Petoskey) and are thinking about traveling up along the lake starting near Holland or Grand Haven and heading north all the way to Mackinac Island.

Is 5 days enough and are there recommendations on must visit/must stay areas along the way ? Are there places that we should just skip altogether ?We are not opposed to stopping in Bay Harbor/Petoskey again .

We also want to experience the fall colors - is this a good route for this time of year ?

Your comments and recommendations are once again very much appreciated.

Thanks
