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 “The 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.

On the way to Mackinac Island, the ferry took us closer to Big Mac, and we rode in under it! What an amazing feeling!

What is Mackinac Island’s biggest export?
—
Mackinac Island is iconic for its Victorian houses, horse drawn carts and bicycles. But what really makes the island tick, drives its economy and has secured its place in Michigan tourism, is the fudge.
—
This island, with only 500 residents, is home to more than a dozen fudge shops ready to serve the 1 million annual visitors. On peak summer tourist days, visitors collectively buy over 10,000 pounds of fudge per day. To keep up with this intense demand, the island imports 10 tons of sugar and 1 ton of butter every week.

Eating a lot of fudge while spending the weekend on Mackinac Island was inevitable, so I tried to make it into a learning experience by comparing the different types while I was at it. Overall Murdick’s fudge has a more mature and complex flavor and texture, while Ryba’s and Joann’s have softer fudge with a simpler, but still delicious, flavor. Here’s the breakdown:
~ rybasfudge is the softest and smoothest. All three flavors, chocolate peanut butter, plain chocolate, and sea salt caramel were delicious, with the sea salt caramel being the favorite in my family because of the nice balance between salty and sweet. I enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter, but if you don’t love the peanut butter flavor or want a lighter fudge, I would suggest getting a different flavor since the peanut butter mixed with the already very sweet fudge might be too rich for some people’s taste.
~ joannsfudge is still soft, but, at least in the double dark chocolate that I tried, has a slightly grainer texture. The double dark chocolate had a less sweet flavor than the regular chocolate, which is good if you don’t like things that are too sweet.
~ originalmurdicks has the biggest texture difference. It has a grainier texture, which some people thought made it better than other kinds that were smoother, and is firmer, as you can see in the video. The plain chocolate also had a more caramelly flavor.

My dad absolutely loved drinking coffee and every now and then I would spoil him with a cappuccino when I was free during the hectic summer months. Before he passed, it was pretty obvious to combine our famous family fudge recipe and my most popular flavored brew, Love Potion #9 together. It has become a favorite for both candy and coffee lovers alike. Available again this season at the shops and online! .

Everyone’s favorite Grand Hotel dessert - The Grand Pecan Ball! #grandhotelmichigan #hudsonvilleicecream
Fresh off the plein air easel of Grand Hotel. “Grand Hotel Blue Ceiling.” Capturing the color off this ceiling fascinates me! In person that part of the painting glows with the relatively neutral colors surrounding it. It is that color to fool the birds into thinking it is the sky so they don’t nest there. While I was painting I heard a guy tell someone it was to fool spiders... I’m not sure if that is true!?🤣
Available through Mackinacs’s Little Gallery. Dm me with questions.
