Lodging should be dirt cheap and mom and pop restaurants warm by the wood stoves. Mackinaw Island would be tranquil and worth the boat ride and hiking or bicycling around. Spring flowers should be incredible. The scenery around Big Mac down to Legs Inn in Cross Village is pristine. A meal at Legs is a must. Then you are at the top of the Tunnel of Trees. Drive down to Harbor Springs, through Petoskey. Down to Charlevoix is a beautiful lakeside drive.
Dress for walking in cold and possible rain. If you stay warm and dry it will be an awesome time.
I will do that route as soon as I can get behind the wheel again.
