- Pohl Bison Bed & Breakfast, Rosebush, MI: About 30 minutes northeast of Grand Rapids you'll find this beautiful Amish-built home that has been turned into a delightful bed and breakfast. It is also an active bison ranch, so you can enjoy watching bison graze right outside your bedroom. And the homemade breakfasts are a slice of country heaven.
- Country Cookstove Bakery and Bake Shop, Clare, MI: There is nothing more tummy-tempting than a good Amish bakery. Country Cookstove is a small unassuming little Amish market in MI that often sells out of its inventory each day, so it is best to get an early start on the day if you want some fresh goodies. Depending on when you arrive you might even encounter a line waiting outside the door. That's certainly a sign of a good bakery.
