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,

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!Can anyone recommend a good family resort in the Midwest? Ideally something with cabin rentals on a lake.?
