Michigan Honeymoon
To the surprise of many, Michigan is one of the top vacation spots in America. A Michigan honeymoon is a great way to explore this vacation paradise while adding your own special romantic touch.
Michigan Honeymoon
The Midwest – America's Heartland. While it is not the first place that springs to mind when thinking of exotic honeymoon locales, the Midwest can still be a romantic and memorable honeymoon destination. Whether you have gotten married in this area and don't want to travel far for your first trip, or just want to visit a different area than the rest of the newlyweds, a Michigan honeymoon can be a great alternative to pricier and more distant destinations.
One great resort for your Michigan honeymoon is the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa located in Traverse City, Michigan. This resort, originally opened in 1980 and bought by the Ottawa and Chippewa tribes in 2003, is a great spot for your honeymoon or even for a wedding. The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in a spot against the East Grand Traverse Bay and includes 660 guest rooms with many of these rooms being suites. This resort offers guests 54 holes of championship golf, rivers stocked with trout for fishing and water sports on Lake Michigan in season. Also at the resort is a large shopping area, and a grand spa, perfect for relaxing and romance with your new spouse.
Another spot worth looking at for your Michigan honeymoon is the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. This hotel was first opened in 1887 with varied and famous people such as Mark Twain staying here throughout the resort's history. Of the 385 guest rooms, no two are decorated alike. For an odd bit of trivia, the front porch on the hotel is the worlds longest at 660 feet.
Mackinac Island itself is a place like no other – with people still using bicycles and horses as transportation, and an air of the romantic past surrounding the place. The four bedroom Masco Cottage, available on the Grand Hotel grounds, is the resort's most intimate and luxurious accommodation – with such amenities as a private chef. A full breakfast and five course dinner are included with your nightly rate in any room and the food here is gourmet. A perfect place to just sit back, relax and enjoy your new married life.
A Michigan honeymoon makes for a great start to your newfound life – and the state is a perfect choice for the couple who wants a different vacation. The slow pace of Michigan resorts, combined with the friendly atmosphere and attention to detail, make this a honeymoon destination to remember while avoiding draining your bank account.
