Michigan-UP
 

Sorry I wasn't more specific......duh! We thinking about the Michigan shore of Lake Superior.

How about Macinaw Island (not sure of the spelling)which is just about in the middle of Michigan and a perfect place for vacation. You take a ferry over and there are NO cars allowed on the island, just horse drawn carriges. <BR> <BR>Perfect for a getaway for two. <BR> <BR>Have a great time.

Hi Cathy! I like the Petoskey and Harbor Springs areas. There are nice restaurants, b&b's, skiing, and golf. Harbor Springs is a quaint town with lots of nice shops.

The Pictured Rocks Nat. Lakeshore is beautiful. On the West side is Munising, and east is Grand Marais. A dirt road connects both. Saw a kayaker in LS that was from Grand Marais. PRNL is beautiful. <BR> <BR>I know there are cabins in or near the beautiful Tahquamenon Falls (in UP but not on shore). <BR> <BR>The forest service rents fire lookouts in some states (ID, MT, ME, e.g., ). Not sure about Michigan. But, other posters here sang the praises about staying in a (an old) firelookout for a week. This site is from a western forest, but you may be able to find links to some MI forests. [If you do find how to rent in the UP, please post!] <BR> <BR>www.fs.fed.us/r1/lolo/rec-rentals/cabins.htm <BR> <BR>Mackinaw Island is not in Lake Superior <BR> <BR>Isle Royale, another National Park, is another, more adventurous choice. <BR> <BR>

Isle Royale is much closer to the Minnesota side of Lake Superior from Grand Portage, MN but you an go there from Houghton too, however it is a much longer boat trip. It is pretty rustic unless you like to camp.
