Gaylord plays up its Alpine theme with Bavarian-styled storefronts and a summer Alpenfest, and the Best Western Gaylord gives travelers a warm north-woods welcome to it in Gaylord, Michigan, just off Interstate 75.
Dozens of championship golf courses spread across the rolling country, the wild elk herds of the nearby Pigeon River forest, the largest in the state, draw watchers at dawn and dusk, and inland lakes and trout rivers fill the surrounding woods. Once the snow falls, snowmobile trails take over.
An indoor pool and a free breakfast round out the stay, with the Alpine main street and family restaurants close by, and the cool pine air of the north woods all around. Sledders, golfers and anglers chase the seasons across the surrounding lakes and forest. Skiers and snowmobilers fill the town through the long northern winter.
