I have dreams of peddling leisurely through endless fields of blooming tulips. Windmills dot the horizon and water is always close by. Yes, I could go to Holland to satisfy this vacation fantasy or I could get a really authentic taste of tulip time in Holland, Michigan.
The settlement was established by a group of Dutch families in 1847 and hundreds followed them soon afterwards. Every fiber of Holland Michigan is steeped in Dutch heritage, so this is the real deal and not a marketing gimmick to bring in tourists.
Downtown Holland has an historic, yet vibrant feel, with street performers, art galleries, interesting shopping, plenty of great restaurants and frequent festivals. Without a doubt, the most celebrated annual event is Tulip Tme Festival!

The motto for Frankfort, Michigan is Always in Season. Once you take a look around at all the fun things there are to do every season of the year, you’ll agree.
It all starts with the lake, the big lake, Lake Michigan. If you enjoy the water, you won’t need any other excuse to enjoy Benzie County on the West Shore of the state. In addition to Lake Michigan, you also get bonus bodies of water that come along with the area - Betsie Lake, Betsie River, Crystal Lake, Manistee River, Platte River and more.
