The Homestead

Lake Michigan’s spectacular vistas make this a resort unlike others. The color of the water–sometimes blue, sometimes turquoise, sometimes golden–is one reason why. Another is relaxing along the water. You and each member of your family or group can do as much or as little as you like.

That’s why this resort is celebrated, both near and far, as The Homestead, America’s Freshwater Resort.

Lake Michigan Resort

Though expansive, the resort is quite simple to picture.

It was designed, built and is managed to help you enjoy the Most Beautiful Place in America.

On its west are miles of sandy beaches on which you can walk for hours. The beaches are soothing by day, spectacular at sunset, remarkably romantic on starry nights. To its east is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the area chosen by the viewers of ABC’s Good Morning America as β€œThe Most Beautiful Place in America.”

Within the resort, neighborhoods separated by nature provide a wide range of high-quality accommodations. Some are perfect for couples, some for families, and some for groups. All are beautiful. There are shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities. There are places for weddings, , and meetings. All of them are staffed by caring and attentive professionals.

You could be pampered at the spa or salon, sit by a pool, play a round of golf or hike in the National Lakeshore. Or, you could teach your kids to swim, play tennis or golf, ski or snowboard.

Simply said, you decide how you want to spend your time in the Most Beautiful Place in America. We take care of the rest.

I’ve had such a fun time exploring the beer scene on the west side of Michigan! So many great breweries, great people and great beer!! I’ll have a whole blog post on them, but brewery4two4 is doing some fantastic beers! I was lucky enough to try this rotating flight with my favorite being their Under the bridge Brown. Such a tough decision with such a great lineup of beer. It’s a traditional brown with milk sugar and mackinaw island fudge coffee πŸ˜‹ it’s light and low ABV so you can have a couple, yet packed with flavor! Incredible how much flavor Dave gets into this beer! I’ll be enjoying my to-go cans back in Chicago!!πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ Give them a follow if you love unique beers!

DO TELL!  Do you have a strong opinion when it comes to food and drinks made in Michigan ?  If so, play along on this little game of This or That?

I'll go first!  Mackinac Island Fudge, paczki, and Detroit Style Pizza are no-brainers for me.  I love them all and would hands down pick each one if forced to choose. 

The drink decision is a hard one for me though, as I don't really like either of the choices.  Sorry. 😩 Growing up, Vernors was the only pop my Grandma had at her house, and she always insisted on pouring me a glass when we visited.  However, I was not a fan of ginger ale and it would take me quite long to drink it, which did not get any better the longer it sat and the warmer it got. πŸ˜‰  We always had Faygo in our house growing up, but flavors such as red pop, grape or rock & rye did nothing for me.  Today, if a Faygo diet-cola was in the mix, that would be my choice.

Shoutout to puremichigan from whom we "borrowed" this idea who played their game bracket-style in honor of March Madness. 

DO TELL!  This or That?  What are your Michigan food/drink favorites?
