Crystal Lake, Mich.
Nestled not too far from Lake Michigan is a body of water that appropriately represents its name. Quiet vacation homes and charming hotels dot the shores of the lake where sunsets of orange and red fill the skies at dusk. During the day, sunbathe on the beaches, fish for your dinner and cook it under the stars before you rest under the dark Michigan sky.
