The family spent a weekend in
Three Oaks, Michigan. I found the rental through
HomeAway, which worked out well. The house slept 11, was nicely decorated, and was clean (sometimes a concern with vacation rentals).
Three Oaks is very flat, and everything is within walking distance. I was afraid that businesses would be closed during the off season, but not so; they even had a small xmas parade Saturday morning. I cooked dinner Saturday night, but otherwise, we ate out. It was a relaxing time, which was the whole point of the weekend.
The weather cooperated - cool but sunny. Saturday we explored the town. Sunday we hit the beach, at both
Warren Dunes and
Grand Mere state parks. I put "only" 8K steps on my Fitbit on Sunday, but 24 "flights of stairs" - those dunes are challenging!
I would definitely go back.
