A Reece Family regular stop. We love this town!

Charlevoix is a beautiful Michigan town with a beach, lighthouse, shopping, and lots to do. The town has lots of restaurants with good food and libations! Only 45 minutes away from Bellaire and the Shanty Creek Resort.

A Reece Family vacation must do! We love the town, the history and going to one of the many beaches to look for Petoskey Stones.

Petoskey, Michigan, located at the top of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula on Little Traverse Bay is known for its natural beauty, million-dollar sunsets, historic Gaslight Shopping District, and of course, Petoskey Stones. Just a ferry ride away in the warmer months are Harbor Springs and Bay Harbor.

The natural beauty surrounds you with stunning views of Little Traverse Bay from many vantage points. Looking to go outside? Petoskey is home to land for hiking, biking, a day at the beach, water sports, and so much more! The popular, Petoskey State Park is great for a hike, a day at the beach, a stop off of the Little Traverse Wheelway via bike, or going Petoskey Stone hunting.

The Gaslight District in downtown Petoskey is anywhere you see those green light posts. With a variety of shops in this area you can spend the day shopping at places like Grandpa Shorter’s, in operation since 1946, and many more.

Mackinac Island is America's Coolcation Destination! It's a place where the horse is king, where the streets have been car-free for over 100 years. It is a place where life moves at the clip-clop pace of a carriage, and where the noise of day-to-day life is silenced by the delightful ding of a leisurely bicycle bell.

The Reece Family has been many times, taken horse carriage tours, rented bikes and circled the island, visited the fort , and eaten lots of fudge! One of our favorite spots!

Shanty Creek has 5 golf courses. The two favorites of the Reece Clan are the Legends, designed by Arnold Palmer, and Hawk's Eye. While you are here get a round in!
