Northern Michigan
The Ultimate Urban Escape By Laura Blattner
Travel a little farther north in Michigan to the tip of the mainland and you'll be in Mackinaw City. We stayed at the Parkside Inn, located at the foot of the Mackinac Bridge and just across the street from historic Fort Michilimackinac the location can't get better than that! Rooms at Parkside Inn are nice, new, very clean and affordable and kids stay free! The property is beautifully maintained, in a safe location with lake/bridge views and is overall very family friendly.
Although you have to walk outdoors to get to the indoor swimming pool, hot tub and game room, the kids will love the large, heated pool and arcade games! The main lobby of the Parkside Inn has an attached dining area where you and the family can enjoy a complimentary deluxe continental breakfast with a wide variety of choices before you head out for the day. You can find out more about Parkside Inn by calling 1-800-827-8301.
Read part two and learn about historic landmarks, Mackinac Island and fudge!
