#2 Eat, Sleep, Wander Lodge in Michigan


Eat, Sleep, Wander is Northern Michigan at its finest. Come spend a weekend or a week in this comfy, cozy and eclectic home, where you're minutes from the sandy beaches of Bear Lake and 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort and Golf. While staying at Eat, Sleep, Wander, you can hunt, fish and kayak, and in the colder months, you can snowmobile and ski.


When you're ready to paddle out, there are many kayak rental agencies and places to shove off from within Manistee County. The northern part of the Manistee River is perfect for intermediate kayakers, and has sections that will appeal to advanced kayakers wishing for a more challenging ride. The northern section of the river is characterized by shallow, fast water, and obstacles such as trees, limbs and log jambs.


By comparison, the southern section is a more gentle trip. It is not as fast or technical, and is appropriate for paddlers with little experience. Book Eat, Sleep, Wander now: bit.ly/EatSleepWander
