Sometimes, you want your vacation to be simple. You arrive, drop off your bags, have a list of options at hand, and everything is already included. Two deals we found this week do just that. One puts you in the middle of Mackinac Island, the quintessential Michigan tourist experience. The other takes you slopeside at Boyne Mountain, a four-season resort where summer is all about play, relax, repeat.
Here are some great deals:
Vacation for two at Chalet Edelweiss at Boyne Mountain Resort
Boyne Mountain has plenty of great lodging options, but our favorite at this Northern Michigan resort is Chalet Edelweiss, a converted Scandinavian-style lodge at the base of the ski slopes. It's secluded from the other buildings but just a short walk to the “village” area with its shops, restaurants and bars. With a sauna and cozy sitting areas, it feels like it's been lifted straight from the Alps.
This 15% off sale is touted to “rekindle the romance,” but you can also bring your best friend along — or, if you need a little downtime, head out on your own (we don't judge you, we've been there).
“Are you dreaming of a summer filled with fresh air, breathtaking views, and cozy nights spent by the fire? Come visit Chalet Edelweiss, a romantic hideaway nestled in the heart of Boyne Mountain,” resort staff say. “This charming European-style chalet offers the perfect setting to reconnect with loved ones in the heart of Northern Michigan.”
“Relax your body and mind with a complimentary yoga class or explore the mountain trails with a complimentary bike rental. In the evening, soothe your muscles in the Nordic Cirque sauna – the perfect way to end the day. Book a summer getaway for two and enjoy 15% off a King Room at Chalet Edelweiss.”
