Located on Little Traverse Bay in Northern Michigan, Harbor Springs is known as a "hot spot" for shopping, art galleries, dining and entertainment. Nestled within Harbor Springs is the Boyne Highlands Resort, and it's just the ticket for a relaxing family vacation. Peaceful, tree-lined lanes lead you to the ivy-covered Bavarian-style lodge with a running water wheel and reflecting pond in front.
Boyne Highlands Resort boasts world-class golf and 5,000 acres of unspoiled natural beauty in which your family can enjoy hiking and mountain biking. Other amenities include a fishing pond where the kids can catch rainbow trout, swimming pools, saunas, whirlpool facilities and a sports center with an assortment of lawn games. For deep relaxation, visit The Wellness Institute at the resort for music therapy or even stone therapy (a form of massage that incorporates smooth hot and cold stones).
While you're enjoying a round of golf or a massage, your kids can have a blast in the Young Explorers Club, the summer children's program for kids ages 4 to 12. Children participate in a variety of activities, from climbing Mt. Olympic to sailing hand-built ships across the trout pond. During the winter, Boyne's Snow Sports School offers skiing classes for every level of ability, and winter kids' activities ar provided to kids 6 months and older through Animal Crackers day care.
