Old-school resort weekend with no cars
No cars — bikes and horses only. Stay at the Grand Hotel or rent a cottage, ride the 8-mile loop in an hour, fudge crawl through Murdick's and Joann's, lunch at the Pink Pony, dinner at the Woods (the Stuyvesant family's spot in the interior), and drinks on the Grand's porch at sunset. Lake Huron bachelor — Gilded Age throwback, no phones, no cars, no excuses.
