Sightseeing

Take a day trip to Michigan’s most scenic island, no cars just bikes and horse drawn carriages. I love to rent a bike and ride around the island.

So fun for horse drawn sleigh rides followed by hot cocoa and cookies after your ride. I also love their family farm shop year round for fresh farm eggs, meat and home made soaps.

A beautiful must see in my opinion! Make the day trip out and you won’t be disappointed! For you adventurous folks, run down the dunes and spend a grueling 30min-1hr climbing back up. Everyone else (like me) no need to run down to enjoy this gorgeous place.

Food scene

I have lived all over the US and somehow these are still some of the best tacos I have had. I love the smoked potato and street tacos. If you catch their food truck at Boyne Mountain In the winter, try the tacos "Mountain Style". 3 locations In Boyne City, Traverse City and Petoskey
