Lake Michigan

Michigan's motto is "If you Seek a Pleasant Peninsula, Look About You". With a Great Lake on it's doorstep, and lots of attractions in the city and great outdoors, there's some fine opportunities for a romantic weekend getaway in Michigan!

There are lots of romantic places in Michigan as you travel both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. White sand beaches on the Michigan shorelines, lighthouses, Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, state parks, scenic drives and Detroit attractions.

The best time to visit Michigan is probably early spring to autumn. If you're planning any romantic getaways in Michigan during late september to late October, the Fall foliage makes it a spectacular time to be there.

Ann Arbor
Fun place with a great small-town feel, and a lively downtown full of interesting shops, funky eateries and cafes. The distance from Detroit to Ann Arbor is only 40 miles, so it makes a great day trip from Detroit.

Horse Drawn Carriage, Mackinac Island, Michigan

Mackinac Island
One of the most popular destinations for a romantic getaway for two in Michigan is Mackinac island. Board the ferry from Mackinaw City to Mackinac Island and it’s lovely Victorian village. It’s a delight to walk around this vacation resort from the past! (Don’t miss the Grand Hotel and it’s enormous porch!)

Tahquamenon Falls State Park
38,000 acres of pristine wilderness centered on beautiful waterfalls consisting of both the upper and lower falls. Well groomed trails, rowboat rentals, camping and wildlife viewing. After a day of fresh air, sip on a "Porcupine Pale Ale" at the Tahquamenon Falls Brewery & Pub.

Wine & Chocolate Weekends in Michigan
Couples looking for an afternoon of wine tasting can head down to the southern Michigan wineries (southwest of Kalamazoo around Coloma and Baroda, MI). Wine tasting and exploring the small art galleries and antique shops are a great day trip.

At the Chocolate Garden in Coloma (2691 Friday Rd) you can sample some incredible handmade chocolate truffles that are receiving rave reviews everywhere!

Holland, Michigan
A taste of Europe by the Great Lakes! Picturesque walks and canals, specialty shops and dining.

A cruise down the Lake Michigan Shoreline between Pentwater and Montague is very attractive. The Black River Scenic Byway passes by mountains, waterfalls and view of Lake Superior.
