Summer vacation looks a bit different this year so we're helping you embrace the STAY-cation!

We're all trying to stay closer to home this year and while that might mean your typical summer vacation was canceled, it doesn't mean there's no way to enjoy the summer. So, we've compiled a list of staycation spots within driving distance of Grand Rapids. Stay safe and enjoy! 

1. The Fields Of Michigan

"The Fields is a first-of-its-kind luxury experience in the countryside of Michigan. A night inside the enchanted platform tents of The Fields is a night unlike anything you have experienced. We will transport you back to childlike wonder, connect you with the untapped earth, and most importantly, give you the time and space to connect deeply with yourself and your loved ones."

2. Grand Haven

"Welcome to Grand Haven, one of Michigan's featured Beachtowns, officially named Coastal Living's 2017 Happiest Seaside Town. 

You’ll discover one of the most genuine, relaxed four-season vacation destinations on Earth. It’s where miles and miles of secret, soft-sand beaches beckon you in summer and cardboard sled races urge you to cheer in winter."

3. Holland

"Holland is known internationally for its acclaimed Tulip Time Festival, a celebration of Dutch heritage.

From the award-winning downtown to the white sandy beaches, you'll fall in love with Holland's small town charm and big city amenities. Dine along the waterfront or at a local cafe. "

4. Saugatuck/Douglas

"There's something magical about the twin cities of Saugatuck and Douglas. From outdoor adventures to romantic getaways, art galleries to alfresco dining, and sunny days to cozy nights, it’s easy to see why Saugatuck/Douglas has a special place in so many hearts." Be sure to book a table at Bowdies Chophouse! 

5. Pik-Nik Grand Rapids

Right here in Grand Rapids, you can rent a picnic basket for your own staycation treat! Enjoy the many parks and outdoor spaces that the city has to offer.
