Lake MIchigan at Sleeping Bear Dunes near North Bar Lake

If you have ever been swimming in Lake Michigan, you know that the water can be quite cold, even during the hottest days of summer. We like the following three beaches at Sleeping Bear Dunes because they all offer access to inland waterways, either along a river or a smaller lake, buffering swimmers from the cold Lake Michigan and ensuring the water is the perfect temperature and depth for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

A Magical Trip to Pond Hill Farm

updated on 37 Comments on A Magical Trip to Pond Hill Farm

On one of our first trips up to the Petoskey/Harbor Springs area in 2019, we stumbled upon a magical little place called Pond Hill Farm. Now, when most people hear the word “farm,” they probably think of stinky barn animals and hay. While Pond Hill Farm does include these typical barnyard attractions, it is also so much more than that! We were delighted to spend a lovely afternoon here surrounded by beautiful gardens, delicious food and drinks, and hidden little activities that kept our entire family busy for hours. We are happy to add this lovely diversion to our itinerary whenever we are in the area, and we think you will be too!

Literally millions of tulips line the streets, burst out of every park, and greet you on every single corner of this enchanting little town. The Holland Tulip Time Festival is quite simply a feast for the eyes, and as we found, an experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and interests.
