This review is from: Michigan Vacation Guide: Cottages, Chalets, Condos & B&B's, 2003 (Paperback)

My family and I love this book. It's easy to read and locate places to stay. We enjoy staying at private homes or cottages, which are normally very difficult to find. The vacation guide book has tons of them. This is the 3rd book I have bought and they just keep getting better with more choices and more photos. We have stayed at several of their "editor's choice" properties and never been dissappointed.
