(for 14 and up), and many other fun activities. With a full-service spa and several amazing dining

options, parents will be happy here as well. Suites complete with fabulous views, fireplaces, and

lofts, along with two to four bedroom villas, mean this resort has accommodations which are

Hidden away just outside a small town in Michigan in the mountains, this expansive resort is

truly beautiful and offers accommodations ranging from luxury hotel rooms to huge rental homes

with ski-in options for the winter. In the fall, try the rope challenge/zip line course over the

outdoor pool, the Alpine slide sledding on curved tracks down the mountain, the rock climbing wall,

mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, paintball, golf and disc golf, hiking and tennis. A lovely and

complete spa along with several restaurants will add to your experience as well.

the resort.
