Things To Do
Charlevoix
Charlevoix is a wonderful little vacation spot. If you're planning on staying in the area, we recommend shopping downtown, taking a "Mushroom House" tour, walking to the beaches of Lake Michigan, and a wine tasting or tour of our beautiful venue, Castle Farms.
Mackinac Island
About an hour drive North and a ferry shuttle from Mackinaw City, Mackinaw Island is one of our favorite spots. We recommend a carriage tour, biking around the island, and lots of fudge!
Traverse City
About an hour south of Charlevoix, Traverse City is a cute area filled with activities. We recommend the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, downtown shopping, and the beaches of Grand Traverse Bay.
Petoskey
Another city on the lake, Petosky is only about a 30-minute drive North of Charlevoix. This is a great spot for people who want to shop, eat great food, and hangout and a brewery or two.
Tunnel of Trees
If you're planning on heading North, we recommend taking a small detour through the "Tunnel of Trees" on M-119. It's a beautiful scenic drive along the coast of Lake Michigan.
The Upper Peninsula
The U.P. of Michigan is about an hour North and a trip over the famous Mackinac Bridge and is a whole adventure by itself. If you plan on extending your trip, the U.P. is a wonderful spot for outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, or fishing.
