Summary: I celebrated my 48 th Birthday on May 10th. It was amazing we hung out in the jacuzzi, drove to Treetop resorts for a morning and had full body massages. Saturday we drove to Mackinac and went horse back riding on the island followed by some shopping. Then headed back to the cabin where we jumped in the Kayaks on Lake Arrowhead, lit the bonfire jumped back in the jacuzzi and did some fishing on the lake. This was an amazing Birthday, I can’t wait to come again. Oh and the host was very attentive to our questions. It was something to do for all ages 8 years old to 48 years, the 9 of us had a blast.
