    Saugatuak, Michigan has some really nice bed and breakfast places as well as a cute downtown area. They also have  really nice beaches if the weather is nice. Door County, WI is also nice but might be more than 2 hours.

    sorry. yes...something for fi and myself. romantic, cozy, a nice dinner. if i can keep it between $500-$600 with for 2 nights somewhere....(that is including food and a cocktail or two) that would be ideal.

    i looked into lake geneva and everything is booked for octoberfest the weekend i can get away.

    i'll check out your suggestions. thank you!

    Agree with PPs on the Michigan coast -- check out St. Joe and South Haven. FI and I once did a lovely long weekend of B&B's and wineries through there. :)

    Saugatuck MI was a wonderful.  I went on a girls getaway in August, but I kept thinking while I was there what a nice week end getaway this would be for H and me.
