Michigan's extraordinary diversity of landscape - bordered by four of the five Great Lakes - is best experienced through its remarkable collection of historic inns and bed and breakfasts. This travelogue is as much a travel guide as it is a presentation.
The journey samples inns throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan beginning with the National House Inn in Marshall, the oldest inn in the state, dating back to the 1830's. All of the inns featured become a lens through which to explore its surrounding landscape and community from the vineyards of the Leelanau Peninsula, the dunes of Sleeping Bear, and even features two historic inns in the heart of downtown Detroit.
Finally, the journey ends on Mackinac Island showcasing the island's history through the centuries, as well as, various inns and bed and breakfasts in which to stay. It will end at Grand Hotel with a Somewhere in Time weekend and includes a behind the scenes look at the making of the film.
