10 Winter Getaway Ideas in Michigan

White mansion with snow on the ground and leafless treesWhat is there to do in Michigan if you don’t skate, don’t ski, don’t hunt, don’t fish, and don’t have a snowmobile? The Holidays tend to take care of themselves if you have friends and family around. Thanksgiving and Christmas could bring you to Hillsdale County if this is where your family is. New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day could be romantic getaways for couples at a location that is probably a lot closer than the bridge or the lake. Some people call it cabin fever when there is a desire to get out of town for a few days during the Winter months. Try a new restaurant, order a massage, sleep in a different bed, and have someone else make breakfast are ingredients for a Michigan getaway in Winter. The cure for this ailment could be a weekend getaway to an interesting bed and breakfast in a small South Central Michigan town.  We’re talking about a little town called Jonesville.

Detroit, Kalamazoo, South Bend, and Fort Wayne are all about an hour and a half from here. When snowfall is unpredictable weeks in advance, travelers plan a getaway and hope for the best. Keeping the destination within 100 miles could be a key factor in making a good decision for making a romantic getaway during November, December, January, or February. Near or far, the Munro House tries to provide a great experience with a reasonable drive time.
