Escape to Beaver Island, Michigan
A ferry ride across Lake Michigan ends at an island as relaxed as any in the Caribbean.
Where to stay
Shanoule Bed and Breakfast Expect to chitchat with the owners at this secluded three-guest-room B&B (pictured). Bob and Joan Banville pick up and drop off guests at the ferry dock and offer tours of the island. From $150 (231/448-2092; shanoule.com).
Emerald Isle Hotel The Emerald Isle offers comfortable, no-frills rooms near downtown St. James. The staff is friendly but sometimes hard to find. (They might be at home eating or shuttling guests to dinner.) From $149 (231/448-2376; emeraldislehotel.com).
