The prairie-style home with its strong horizontal rooflines, honey-colored woodwork and geometrical stained glass windows sits tucked within Grand RapidsвЂ™ historic Heritage Hill Historic District, a neighborhood known for its stunning residential architecture. May in 1908 and ranks as the most completely restored of WrightвЂ™s buildings. Campsites are first come, first served.Дesigned by architectural mastermind Frank Lloyd Wright, the Meyer May House was commissioned by Grand Rapids-based clothier Meyer S. Hikers and bikers can explore the state forest along a network of trails and wrap up the day around the campfire. Head to the Ocqueoc Falls, 40 miles down the Lake Huron shore from Cheboygan, for a northern Michigan getaway and a view of the largest falls in the Lower Peninsula. MichiganвЂ™s Upper Peninsula isnвЂ™t the only place youвЂ™ll find Instagram-worthy waterfalls.

The mid-19 th-century town flourishes today as a commercial district home to art galleries and independently-owned restaurants, antique shops and live music. Instead, head to Old Town, the site of LansingвЂ™s original Grand River settlement. Save MichiganвЂ™s State CapitolВ tour for another day. Although Lake Superior ranks as the coldest of the Great Lakes, this secluded beach will make you long to dive in. Follow the trail 3 miles each way, through sandstone gorges and past scenic Chapel Falls to the Lake Superior beach and its namesake Chapel Rock, a sandstone, water-washed pinnacle topped by a lone fir tree. Those willing to drive the gravel access road to the Chapel Rock trailhead are rewarded with remarkable beauty-and small crowds. The Upper PeninsulaвЂ™s spectacular Pictured Rocks National LakeshoreВ promises 100 miles of walking and hiking trails, but most visitors overlook Chapel Rock in favor of the more easily accessedВ Miners Castle.

But they are no less fascinating and well worth a detour. These Michigan hidden treasuresВ are often overlooked by travelers in favor of bigger attractions like the Mackinac BridgeВ or Detroit RiverWalk. Kitch-iti-kipi | Photo Courtesy of Instagram fan michiganfromtheairВ вЂ‹
