Let’s start in one of the most magical small towns in Michigan to experience winter. Saugatuck is a popular summer destination for Chicago tourists, but in the winter, you’ll have the place to yourself and just 800 permanent residents. Saugatuck State Park makes for an enchanting snowy hike, and the charming downtown is a must-visit. When you’re finished shopping, walk to this hillside cottage with beautiful seasonal views of Lake Kalamazoo.
