Harbor Springs, Michigan Is the Best Small U.S. Town for a Lake Vacation in 2024

"A bustling summer destination in Cross Village housed in a 1920s river-stone-and-timber cottage whose maximalist interior is crowded with taxidermy, totem poles, arcade games and a disco ball; antique stove legs arranged on the roof nod to a local hearth-manufacturing past. With lush lawns and panoramic views of Lake Michigan, the menu leans hearty and Polish—think crispy breaded pork kotlet, toothsome potato pierogi and juicy kielbasa—served in substantial portions and often enjoyed with frosty Polish lagers such as Zywiec." - Leilani Marie Labong Leilani Marie Labong Leilani Marie Labong is a San Francisco-based journalist who focuses on food, design, and travel.
