MACKINAC ISLAND - MICHIGAN CIRCLE TOUR
Our first night’s lodging, is the Drury Inn, Grand Rapids, MI. Departing Grand Rapids on the 25th, we’ll travel to Silver Lake, MI for an exciting dune scooter ride at Mac Wood’s Dune Ride on the shores of Lake Michigan. Continuing on us 31, we’ll enjoy a scenic drive through Manistee, Traverse City, Charlevoix and Petoskey, arriving at Mackinac Island in the afternoon. Mackinac Island is the truly "all natural" theme park of America. Limited to transportation of horse and buggy, bicycle or foot, surrounded by water, it has escaped the vast changes of time. Its real Victorian image is preserved and enhanced by a small population of 500 permanent residents and scores of summer residents, maintaining bluff cottages in original state. We’ll spend three nights at the Lake View Hotel on Mackinac Island. Lake View Hotel, in the heart of the historic village, is the oldest continuously operated hotel on Mackinac Island, capturing much of the past with its Victorian-style atmosphere and nineteenth-century vernacular resort architecture. Built by Reuben Chapman in 1858, the hotel was originally known as Lake View. During our stay, we’ll enjoy a carriage tour with Mackinac Island Carriage Tours, the oldest and largest horse and buggy livery in the world and the official tour of Mackinac State Park. Enjoy the narrated tour through downtown to Surrey Hills, where you will disembark the two-horse hitch carriage and have just a few minutes to enjoy the carriage museum and/or gifts shops while waiting to make the transfer to a three-hitch carriage (you’ll need one more horsepower). Then you are off to Arch Rock and a ride through the Boreal Forest. So, climb aboard, sit back and relax and just enjoy the ride. After your scenic, carriage tour ride, you will be dropped off at the Grand Hotel, where you will enjoy their fabulous luncheon. You will then have free time to explore the Grand Hotel, as well as the grounds and gardens and continue to enjoy the island.
After leaving Mackinac Island, we’ll travel to the German village of Frankenmuth, MI. We’ll enjoy a visit Bronner’s, the world’s largest Christmas Store. Also included is luncheon at the Bavarian Inn. We will stay at the Drury Inn in Frankenmuth that night. Leaving Frankenmuth, we will travel on to Carmel, IN where we spend the night at the Drury Plaza. We will enjoy dinner and the ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ at the Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis IN.
