And when you’re ready to slow things down, summer at Schnickelfritz offers just as much to enjoy right on property. The large, open backyard provides space to relax after a day of exploring. Fire up the BBQ grill for an evening cookout, unwind in the hammock with a book, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.

No matter the season, this location keeps you connected to everything that makes Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula special — adventure by day, relaxation by night.
