Get Some Wows with Your Vows

By Kate Siber

An aquatic hitching outpost: Lake Michigan (PhotoDisc)

LAKE MICHIGAN
Great Lakes Grandeur

Say your "I do's" on Lighthouse Point's 13 waterfront acres as the setting sun illuminates the St. Helena Lighthouse, on northern Michigan's Straits of Mackinac. There's only one wedding each weekend-with room for up to 30 guests to stay at Lighthouse Point-so you'll have the inn's pines and cedars, perennial gardens, and expansive lawns all to yourselves.
POST-VOWS: Explore the Sturgeon and Pine rivers by canoe, or bike nearby on car-free Mackinac Island. You and your closest kin will have four cozy cabins, with cedar interiors and rustic wood-and-leather furniture, to return to.
WEDDING PLANNER: A three-day rental of the property costs $6,000. Lighthouse Point can help you arrange catering, flowers, and music.
