The 8 Best Ranches in Michigan, United States
Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

1. Cotton Creek Farms
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Our alpaca farm's store and interactive tours are the perfect family-friendly outing. We're located south of Traverse City on the border of Thompsonville and Buckley. We have 60+ alpacas and a rescued llama named Lucy who are eager to see visitors. Tours are just $5/person and kids under five are free. We bring you into the paddocks so you can interact with the alpacas and feed them. Some of our boys and girls don't understand personal space, so you may receive a bit of alpaca hay breath as you chat with them. Zinfandel might even fall asleep on you as you pet her. With alpacas, you never know what you're going to get. The store is about 1,200 square feet and it's filled with all sorts of products from handmade hats and headbands to yarn, coats, and toys for the kids. It has a little something for everyone.
