Weekend Getaways and Vacations in Michigan in Winter: Mackinac Island

You might think of it as a warm-weather destination, but Mackinac Island makes a great weekend getaway in the winter months, too. In fact, the east half of the island is dedicated to cross-country skiing once the white stuff starts falling. Ski rental and instruction is also available. Note: Not all of the places to stay on the island are open in the winter.
