Visited Mackinaw City which is just about 20 miles north of STC. We got there pretty late in the day so the crowds were gone (😀) but a lot of shops were closed. We still had a great time souvenir shopping and eating a delicious dinner at The Key Hole Bar & Grill. Of course I forgot to take pics at the restaurant but trust me, great food and service as usual!

After dinner, we took the short 10 minute drive over to the Headlands International Dark Sky Park to take in the beautiful sunset and moon rise. We absolutely love this place. It’s a great for a date night as well as very kid friendly. Bring an extra jacket and some blankets. It gets chilly after the sun goes down. And speaking of the sun going down, the sun officially set at 9:15 PM. However, the stars didn’t really start coming out until 10 o’clock so definitely have some drinks and snacks handy if you plan on staying until it’s fully dark.

Book your stay at Stone’s Throw Cottage and explore beautiful Northern Michigan for yourself!

Picture perfect weather in Northern Michigan! 🌞

Today we hiked out to the Nature Megaphone located in the Agnes S. Andreae Nature Preserve in Afton. Just short 10minute drive from Stone’s Throw Cottage.

In one 2 mile hike, we saw sweeping views of the pigeon river (sparkles galore today), traversed dense stands of jack pines, cedars and birch, witnessed the severe damage to the forest from last year’s ice storm as well as flood damage and active flooding of the Pigeon River from this year’s ongoing historical flooding.

Highly recommend visiting this preserve!

We spent the weekend at Stone’s throw Cottage cleaning up from several big winter storms that hit Indian River over the last several months.

After clearing the yard of SO MANY branches and sticks and random other yard debris, burning it all for hours, deep cleaning the main house and the little cottage, we can confidently say that Stone’s Throw Cottage is ready for you!

Once our work was done, we ventured out to see the historic flooding that is hitting all of Northern Michigan right now. This has been going on for a week! This is a once in a 100 year event. 😳Some are even saying once in 300 years. 😮 We have many friends experiencing property damage/loss and straight up trauma and exhaustion. Please send some love and prayers to our favorite place, Indian River! 🙏💙

The people of Northern Michigan are resilient and, after such a hard winter, are especially looking forward to summer this year!
