Terrific Towns

Our Terrific Towns are the perfect destinations for your short trip or long Michigan getaway.  Each town has pages showing the quality of life, shopping, food, side trips, festivals, nature areas, museums and other Michigan attractions.  I have visited and photographed each of these towns to ensure accuracy and that you can find the kind of fun you want on your Michigan road trip.

On a Michigan getaway vacation we like to know where to stay, where to eat and what there is to see and do.  Use the region map to explore Michigan getaway possibilities by region.  The Michigan Attractions page has an easy to use list if you know what you are looking for.
