It’s Not Too Late For Great Fall Deals at Michigan Bed and Breakfasts

October 15th, 2011 by linda

Enjoy great deals at Michigan B&Bs from now through Halloween! You won’t believe the variety of packages and specials being offered in beach towns, cities and countrysides from one Michigan lake shore to the other — all across the state.

Need some ideas? How about scouring a multitude of Amish shops within a two mile radius of Teaspoon B&B in Mio, armed with a picnic basket stocked with home made goodies prepared by the innkeepers?

Capture the colors, still vibrant along the southwestern Lake Michigan shoreline, while enjoying half off your third night’s stay at beautiful Victoria Resort B&B in South Haven. Take advantage of some of the best apple picking, corn mazes and all the trappings of the fall harvest season when you stay at Sherwood Forest B&B near Saugatuck.

Book at two-night stay at At Willow Pond B&B near Greenville, and enjoy a complimentary trail ride on horseback and an open fire cookout at the pond, topped off with s’mores and hot cider.  From Parish House Inn in Ypsilanti, you can enjoy the autumn foliage while strolling along the Huron River from Downtown to Depot Town.

“Up north” in Bellaire, innkeepers at Grand Victorian B&B will supply you with driving maps, insider tips on where to go and what to see — and give you $20 to help pay for your gas. Just a sneeze north of Detroit, enjoy star gazing from the dock at Linda’s Lighthouse Inn in Algonac on the St. Claire River or warm cider and a bonfire on a private piece of Lake Huron beach at Adventure Inn in North Lakeport. 

These are just a few of the autumn specials offered by a host of members of the Michigan Lake to Lake Bed and Breakfast Association. Many offer rate discounts in addition to unique packages and activities. You can find them all right here.

These specials are part of monthly “eDeals” published by Travel Michigan. Discover even more fall deals by visiting its Pure Michigan website.
