Cozy Cabin Retreats in Michigan

by rlaurendeau on January 31, 2010

In our last post, we introduced a Valentine’s Day theme, hoping to give you some destination ideas of where you can sneak away for a cuddly weekend with your loved one. If you live in the Midwest or are interested in flying to the Michigan area, we think that you can find no better place than Indian River, Michigan to hunker down in a warm and cozy cabin for a weekend aimed at rekindling your love.

Indian River, MI is located in the northern part of Michigan, where the winter snow falls regularly and creates a picturesque retreat for you and your loved one. Plus, this town is big enough to offer you the amenities you desire (restaurants, area events, recreation), but still small enough so you can slow down from a fast-paced lifestyle.

Retreating to a cabin in the Michigan woods is an ideal setting for a Valentine’s weekend away. Just imagine you and your loved one snuggling together in front of a crackling fire in the fireplace while the latest blanket of fresh snow quietly falls outside your door. Can you picture a more romantic scenario for your Valentine’s weekend getaway?

Here are a few retreat centers that offer cabins:

  • The Woodland’s Resort – their cabins are fully furnished, giving you the home away from home feel you may desire. Plus, their rates are more than affordable! However, you will want to note that reservations must be made 72 hours in advance.
  • Brentwood Lodging – the accommodations at this facility include modern cabins, houses with fireplaces (ideal for a Valentine’s weekend), and motel rooms.

Another reason we chose Indian River as a potential Valentine’s weekend getaway destination is the variety of winter recreational activities available, in case you don’t want to spend all three days indoors. Indian River is known for its ATV and snowmobile trails.

The two of you can easily get a snowmobile rental in Michigan that allow for two passengers, in case you want to stay close as you play in the snow. Or, if you are the kind of couple who want to each control your own machine (and enjoy a little flirtatious competition), then you can also find a single-seat Michigan snowmobile rentals. Other winter outdoor recreational activities you might enjoy in Indian River include cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, snow-shoeing, and ice fishing.

But whether you decide to go out or stay in your comfy MI cabin, Indian River is a little-known but fantastic place to spend your next Valentine’s weekend. Be sure to reserve your cabin in the wood today!
