Question : Can anyone recommend a good family resort in the Midwest? Ideally something with cabin rentals on a lake.?
My family and I (wife, 3 kids- ages 7, 5, and 3) are planning our Summer vacation and we are looking for family resorts in the Midwest (we are in Chicago) where we can spend a week. We would like a place that offers plenty of kids activities and a lake with water sports. Nice to haves would be a American Plan, lake side cabin rentals, and motor boat rentals.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Torch Lake Michigan in norther Michigan is a beautiful Lake
Torch Lake is BEAUTIFUL!!! You should also look into Empire and Leelanau County. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park is located here. Beautiful scenery, vineyards, camping, cabins, hiking, … I could go on and on! I grew up in the area and have since moved away. If I could go back to one location it would be Leelanau County. The drive from Chicago can be very scenic as well. Follow the coastline and you’ll be treated to a mix of lighthouses, artsy small towns, and you could even stop in Mt. Pleasant for a visit to Michigan’s Adventure (an amusement/water park). Once you near Benzie County, the largest city nearby will be Traverse City. T.C. is located between Torch Lake and Leelanau Co.
I spent almost 30 years touring Michigan. If you prefer Wisconsin, Check out The Dells.
Best of luck and enjoy your trip!
