This review is from: Lake Michigan : A guide to small towns, rural areas and natural attractions (Paperback)

We purchased this for a trip around Lake Michigan, and used it far more than the other resources we had. We found wonderful places to stay based primarily on her recommendations, and felt we had a much more thorough sense of each town in order to help us make good choices about where to spend our time. The only disadvantage is that some of the restaurants she had inspired us to visit were now under new ownership. As she provides contact info, I'd recommend reconfirming your plans before driving out of your way. However, still a thorough and very helpful book for a great road trip.
