Visit Michigan on Your Next Vacation

By Yvonne Brixey


Taking a trip to Michigan this summer is sure to be a most memorable vacation for your family. Unbeknownst to many travelers, Michigan has some of the most remarkable treasures of nature in the world. Whether your taste is more towards roughing it in a campground setting or being pampered in beautiful Michigan hotels, there are accommodation options available for your family to enjoy in the country or in the city.

Camping and lodging are plentiful in the upper peninsula near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Munishing. Vacation rentals are a popular option for those families and couples that would prefer to stay in the privacy of their own cabin on Lake Michigan for example, and many of them are open year round. Michigan winters are notoriously unkind, so you may find some difficulty finding an open campground during the months between October and April, but Michigan hotels are abundant and open year round. You will find them a nice alternative if you like snow but don't necessarily want to be out in the cold.

The upper peninsula of Michigan is one of the most beautiful places on earth such as the ATV trails in the Hiawatha National Forest. This forest is a huge national reserve divided into two portions. Whitefish Point Bird Observatory is located at the north end of the park near Lake Superior. Here, you can get away from the hustle bustle of the city and watch nesting birds and other animals in their natural habitat. The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore also along the northern coastline will take your breath away with its limestone cliffs. Both areas are not so remote as to be without their own luxurious Michigan hotels. Which means you can get away from it all and still vacation in style.

Michigan hotels are a popular destination for families traveling for a summer vacation or for couples and newlyweds as well. Michigan vacation rentals are nice for anyone who wants a bit of peace and quiet. If you are booking a stay at a one of these Michigan hotels and are worried about quiet, just call the maître de on the phone and ask for a room in a quiet corner away from the elevator and stairwells. You will find Michigan hotels very accommodating to requests such as these, their aim to make all of their guests as comfortable as possible.

Many Michigan hotels have restaurants directly inside of their hotel boundaries which means you can enjoy a hot meal by a fireside after a long day of skiing and snowboarding should you chose to visit Michigan during the winter months. Michigan summers are glorious and green, but do not draw so many tourists that your visit to the Hiawatha National Forest will be overcrowded. This enormous national forest welcomes thousands of vacationers every year and is able to provide them all with an inspiring tour of its natural beauty.

The world is a busy place in this day and age. Everyone is loaded down with email, homework, texting, phone calls and social networking. Getting away from the city and from your busy life can be a wonderfully rejuvenating experience for you and the person or people you love. Plan a Michigan vacation for your family this year and discover the wonders of nature and your love for one another all over again.Visit Michigan on Your Next Trip
