Fall Color Update – September 16, 2024
The BIG FALL COLOR SHOW is coming to Michigan in a few short weeks. Look for the show to start in the high, interior country of the Western U.P. where some areas will start to reach full peak at the end of September.
The fall color show will continue to move east to the Eastern Upper Peninsula and south into Northern Lower Michigan where most of the fall color will continue to peak throughout the month of October.
Check back here for updates on the Fall Color Show throughout the beautiful fall season in Northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

FROM GRAND HOTEL >> Elegance in motion as we wind down our Season of Adventure. Our high stepping, Hackney Horses got one last ride around Mackinac Island before their departure to the mainland for the winter. A rare yet graceful encounter as Grand Hotel Stable Master and Coachmen, Ben Mosley along with Lucy his assistant, and grooms rode four-in-hand in the oldest carriage in our collection.
As we say farewell to Jester, Crown, Noble, and Royal, we know they will be in good hands throughout their winter vacation, and thank them for all of their hard work this summer. We look forward to welcoming them back home in the spring!

FROM Bear Creek Organic Farm >> Look at this view!
This week is peak color and we're here for it!
The skies are full of drama, the trees are putting on a show, and the weather looks a bit drier and warmer than last week. And we're loving it!
Our farm is in a stunningly beautiful part of the countryside and if we have one suggestion for visiting the farm this week, it's this:
Take a new route to get here!
Make a few extra turns to take a lap around Greenwood/Atkins. Check out Maplewood. Drive along River and Click and Cedar Valley. Any of these roads are putting on a show and we highly recommend it! We drove a full loop around these roads yesterday and it was well worth it!
This time of year, you can't go wrong!
While we'll be taking in this view as we tend the crops and bring in the harvest, we hope you'll have a chance to explore some unfamiliar roads in pursuit of autumnal beauty. You'll be so glad you did! #petoskey #fallcolorphotosLook at this view!
