Mackinac Island has seemingly remained untouched–as it was when the first European settlers came there about three centuries ago. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the island; transportation is limited to horse, carriage, bike, or foot! Join us for a spectacular luncheon buffet at the famous Grand Hotel. The remainder of the afternoon will be at your leisure to enjoy the surrounding activities, shops, and scenery. Some may want to rent a bicycle. Then we ferry back to Mackinaw City and travel south to charming Petoskey, located on Little Traverse Bay. Our downtown hotel for the next two nights is the historic 1899 Perry Hotel, offering views of the bay and easy access to the renowned Gaslight District. There are many downtown dining options to choose from this evening.

A step-on guide will take us on a driving tour into the heart of Charlevoix’s bustling community, past the renowned Earl Young “Mushroom Houses,” and by stunning Victorian summer resorts. Afterwards, enjoy some free time in downtown Charlevoix and have lunch on your own. Next up we’ll step back in time at Castle Farms, one of Michigan’s premier historical attractions. We’ll enjoy a guided tour of the 1918 stone castle and acres of breathtaking gardens, as well as private collections like their WWI Museum and Michigan’s largest outdoor model train railroad!
