The Great Lakes State of Michigan has long been renowned for its stunning natural landscape and rustic charm. Whether you’re visiting Detroit or the Upper Peninsula, Michigan City is one of the most sought-after destinations in the region. When traveling to this stunning part of the world, consider the unique experience that a stay in a cottage can offer. Here are four reasons why you should opt for a cottage when visiting Michigan City.
One of the most alluring features of a cottage stay is its peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Often tucked away in wooded areas, cottages provide a unique way to appreciate the beauty of nature, from tweeting birds to seasonal foliage. With a cottage, you can really be removed from the stresses of everyday life and truly relax.
For those who appreciate the finer details of their stay, cottages offer a more homely atmosphere than a traditional hotel. Whether it is a thatched roof, period fixtures, or charming country-style décor, a cottage holiday can feel more like you’re living in the home rather than just staying in a building. Many cottages also come with a range of amenities and facilities, making them a great choice for those wanting to sample the best of local hospitality.
Michigan City is home to many sandy beaches and rugged shorelines. With a cottage, you’ll get to access some of the best locations to take in these stunning landscapes with ease. You’ll also be able to benefit from organized visits and days out on charter boats, allowing you to enjoy a full experience of the local area.
Finally, for those travelers wishing to take advantage of local wildlife and outdoor activities, cottages provide the perfect setting from which to experience the great outdoors. From kayaking and fishing to bird watching, there are plenty of exciting activities to be enjoyed. Cottages also make a great central base for exploring other nearby attractions, such as Detroit or the Upper Peninsula.
By embracing the unique atmosphere of a cottage, you and your family can enjoy an unforgettable holiday experience in Michigan City. There’s no doubt that a cottage stay will provide you with memories to cherish long after your visit.
