Looking for a nice B/B or somwhere unique to spend New Years Eve. Meeting family that is driving south from Makinaw and Im in CHicago. Somthing halfwayish. Last year it was a lighthouse/B and B on the shore of Lake Superior. Way too far but a great place. We went dog sledding while there. Any ideas appreciated

Chris,

You may try some places around Grand Haven like the following;

Just curious where the lighthouse b&b was ... we were married at a lighthouse and our whole house is nauticle, so would be a cool place to sneak the hubby away to one of these days.

Ask and you shall receive a link:

Yup Playin thats it...and I beat you to it by about a second.

I think I'd be checking around the town of Pentwater. Much more quaint than Grand Haven. Some good places to eat there too. You might look up their chamber of comerce on the web. Not sure of an addy though. might try a search of Pentwater Michigan. That's about half way from Mac. to Chicago.

try Portage point Inn In Onekama is way cool its a renivated Hotel on the north shore of Portage Lake Built around 1900 I think. There is a Casino about 15 min. from there.If you go there is a little delly in town called Creative Expressions try it for lunch or coffee its great!!!

If you go up to Pentwater the Nickerson Inn is a place you may want to look into.

Brookside Inn in Beulah, my wife and I have stayed there numerous times over the last 10 years.
