Pick a week — any week — and Michigan cities with great B&Bs will be dishing up a virtual smorgasbord of examples of human intellectual achievement. That is to say: culture.

From ballet to Bach to baseball to a symposium celebrating bacon…

From festivals for film, fine arts, and folk music…

From wooden boat shows and quilting exhibitions to professional car racing and casinos…

From tracing stops on the Underground Railroad to discovering the UP’s copper mining past…

Whether you’re learning to use snowshoes or to make them…

Whether your passion is poetry or poker or poking into antique stores…

Whether you’re into ghost hunting or comic cons or viewing the night sky with no light pollution…

Whether you’re competing in an athletic event, exploring your roots, or learning to live off the grid…

Whatever brings you to town, you’ll sleep better and eat well if you stay at one of these bed and breakfasts.
